Update
Just finished my second session and it went well. I played well and managed to stop when I felt myself not playing at my best. I played 700 hands and averaged 19BB/100. I actually stopped when I lost a stack I heard myself bitching to myself about it after I lost it, so closed the tables down and thought I'd take a break.

I've got this vision of sitting in a nice climate a year from now sipping some cocktail and playing poker on a laptop. It'd be nice to have the skillset (and money) to just be able to take off now and again and do that sort of thing. A year from now that shouldn't be too hard, as long as this OP is a success
