Doubts about making Ironman

I played a nice long session today (hand-wise and time-wise), but didn't get the FTPs I expected. I played 2 hours and 626 hands, (more hands than I expected), and got only 83 FTPs. That means that I may have to play closer to 2.5 hours a day for 20 days to get Ironman next month, which is a significant addition for me, as I get home from work at 6 and my girlfriend gets home at 7:45...

Anyway, I had the slowest and steadiest session I can remember having today (maybe that's partially the reason for the low FTPs). No interesting hands for the first hour and half, and then I pushed someone in with trip kings who called with a FD, and 3-barrel bluffed someone to lose about the same amount that I had gained against the FD. Fortunately KK ran into my AA to put me significantly up, rather than the $10 up I would have been otherwise. Too bad KK was a shortie!

My goal for January is to hit the 10K hand mark, so I can do some serious analysis heading into my February run for Ironman. I have also decided that I'll wait until I have $600 to take a 2buy-in shot at $50, which gives me some breathing room as I don't want to couple going for Ironman with taking my first shots at NL50.

Session: +$27 -- 626 Hands
Overall: $491.80 -- +$204.95 -- 9203 hands
