Finally got that shit over with. Turbotax is fail. They always want you to pay money after every step you take. It's tilting. It took me like 3 weeks to get the taxes done. Not all turbotax's fault, but they didn't help by constantly trying to charge me. My GF found some place called Taxhawk.com which let me do everything for free and was much quicker than turbotax.
As for poker the downswing continued all week long. Just ran horribly bad. Today I sat down thinking that I was about to end the downswing and I was right and ran quite well. I still have no clue how I'm doing this week money wise. I haven't checked my cashier or my session winnings/losses since my last blog post where I came up with that strategy. It's helping me to focus strictly on my game much more. I re-organized my HEM reports tab so that I could only see my stats, not my winnings/losses.
I think I lost every session till today (that's my guess and considering how bad I ran I would be blown away if I was winning all week). It was easy to avoid checking the results because I'd already trained myself not to. The real test was whether I could be winning and A) keep playing and B) not check the results. I achieved both of those goals so far today. I started running hot and put in a 3k hand session. Woot. Hope it translated into big wins! But by not checking the results I've actually got a lot more desire to keep playing and I plan to do another session tonight before bed. If I start running bad then I'll stop, but if I keep running good then I'll just mass grind. Working to retrain myself to do that and I think I'm on the right track.
Right now I think that I will wait till the end of the month to check my cashier. My BR was at 8.5k when I started this little experiment so I should have enough to play NL100 / NL200 as I please. I doubt I'll drop low enough to need to move to NL50, and I doubt I'll win enough to move to NL400. So I will just grind away till the month is over and then see how I did =)

I also think not checking money results and only concentrating on your A game is pretty important |

Imagine checking it and you have like $600 left.
That's an "awww shit!" moment. |

I think as long as you stick to a stop loss per session it works fine since you can roughly determine your bankroll +/- a few buyins |

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

i'd have to tilt really bad to lose 80 buyins =)
I've been playing long enough to have a good sense of where I am overall like highcard said. If I lost 20 buyins I'd feel it. But overall I stick to a stop loss of when I feel like I've lost 3 buyins it's time to quit. The worst I've ever been off is thinking I lost 3 but really lost 5. |
