I've had two sessions at the $50 buyin, trying to build my bankroll up before my June 17 - 20 trip to Vegas. I was profitable in both. I won $100 the first night for roughly $25 an hour, and I won $40 the second night for roughly $20 an hour. Definitely a much needed victory for me. At this point any profit was good.

The one week off really helped me clear my mind. I probably should have taken some time off after my two initial bad sessions. I don't think my game was affected too much after that, but even if it was remotely affected I should have known to take the time off. Oh well. Live and learn.
