126 hands *** 57 Minutes *** 28.57/18.25 ***

My first night back was a roller coaster session. I lost two big hands getting all in with KK preflop, the first one I lost to AQ when an ace flopped and I ran into AA on the other. So after being up 35 I found myself down 145. Then I got lucky and got a couple of nice hands myself. Two ace high flushes gave me the nuts going to the river with all the chips in the middle and in both hands the other player was drawing dead. I logged off after the second flush giving me a nice 70 win for the night. Nice start to my comeback.

One thing I am still struggling with is, when to log off. Like last night I logged off with the 70 win feeling good after being down 145. But when I started looking at my pokertracker stats I noticed I only played 126 hands. I'm still stuck on whether I should aim for a certain number of hands to play per night or set a goal of how much cash I would like to win in a session. Then setting my limits for how much I am going to lose before logging off without hitting those goals is another thing I will need to do once I set those factors of when I end my session. Just not sure if I want to be more structured and how to set it up or just shoot from the hip.
