Monday - tilt!!

Writing this on Tuesday. Played rubbish yesterday. First of all Internet went down straight after I'd entered a tourney (thankfully only $2) and I had to wait about 2 hours to get on. Not what I needed after a Monday at work when all I wanted to was go home and play poker!
Anyway last night finally got online about 1030pm so had a couple of hours. did a $5 and a $10 limit SNG at the same time - just second in the $5 one so about breakeven. Then somehow lost about $50 playing NLHE and OH8 cash games - usual story - playing too many hands and too many tables. Can't even remember that many hands - a few bad calls with just a pair and gambled on a few draws
Closing roll $275.
Thought all day long about how I can lose so much at small stakes and have decided upon new rules starting today!
1 same rules as before (5% etc see 1st post) still apply
2 only 1 table at a time
3 have a target for the day required to reach $20,000 by 1 June (I know this sounds ridiculous right now!) - at the moment I have 109 days left so have worked out I need to make 4% per day. 275*(1.04)^109>20000! - so today, Tuesday I need to make $11
4 at start of session decide which game is most likely to make required return and do that
5 don't do long odd tournies such as multis unless already over the days target
6 if I don't make the target don't go on a mad frenzy towards end of session in an attempt to win it back - just revise target next day
7 always stick to my personal rules re starting hands and position even when losing. e.g. not allowed to call $2preflop at 15c blind table with 7h5h cos I am feeling lucky - i have strict starting hand guides which must be adhered to!
8 following on from 7 if I break these rules and it is a cash game must leave the game

So tonight...starting with a $10 limit SNG - then probably OH8 - supertight - aiming to make at least $11 lose no more than $30.
