Update: Week 1 complete
Since February started on a Sunday, it's now been seven days, one week, half a fortnight, or exactly 1/4 the duration of this bet. As you'll see from my graph at the bottom, I'm a bit off the pace on number of hands, even though I put in another 3k today. I'm guessing I'll continue a pattern of falling behind during the weekdays when I have class/schoolwork and trying to play catch-up on the weekends.
The poker itself is going as well as I could hope. I haven't gotten into too many full-stacked all-in confrontations lately. The hands just haven't been setting up that way. But I've been winning a decent number of medium-sized pots to grind out a steady profit. It's a lot different from how the start went, but the lowered variance has been nice.
A few fun hands:

This was just a weird one that I don't recommend anyone trying ever. Not going to attempt any analysis, but twas based on strange history I had with the villain. The moral is that winning a large pot with the nut low is fun!
