PokerStars Reload Bonus Part Deux

Well so far so good. I have played over half the games needed for my reload bonus, and in only 9 days of which I didn't play for 3 of them. This meant that Saturday 9th I had to play more games than I have ever played in a day, that number being 80. Now I know that does not sound very many, but Is a lot for a recreational player like myself.
Although I am trying to play more consistently, I try to play 20 18man SNG's day after work Mon, Tues, Wed, & Fri. Thursday is RedTooth pub poker league, which is a fun game, of which I have taken the league trophy 3 times now, and been part of the top team at regional final.
Anyway back to online game. So I only reloaded $100 so am playing for a free $20 not a lot I know, but only playing the micro $1.32 +.32 18 mans in sets of 10 at a time takes a while. To play the 80 I played on Saturday took best part of 9 hours, as I play all 10 down before starting new. I will start to fire new ones as old close soon but trying to make sure I play all spots when on bubble and ITM with my A game so as games get close to end I can concentrate on them more. Also to add to the hardship of grinding, I caught a virus at the end of the week, so coughing a lot and feeling crap does not help your game, so was half tilted before I started.
It is amazing the amount of bad beats I had and split pots on bubble making it hard to cash, but I did continue whereas before I may have quit with some of the things I saw. I have been reading JAred Tendlers great book, The Mental Game of Poker. So knew as I have had such a good run I am kinda due some bad variance.
But it still hurts. Here is break down of results.
80 Games 4293 hands which is about 1000 short of what I expected had I been in the money more and more wins.
3 1st places.
7 2nd places.
6 3rd places.
3 4th places.

It was a very painful day

I then played another 20 on Sunday, and have just played 20 after work, so am well on the way to releasing the other $10 of re-load by next Wednesday 20th if I only play 20 a day from now, bar Thursday.
Results were not much better, with a couple of 2nds 3 3rds, for a small lose.

However I still have a profit of $34.36 for a 9.54 ROI so far including today.
Here is the graph



So hopefully with the second $10 plus profit, plus I also have a Small Stellar Reward which I should get on Friday it should be a decent month. As I need to clear 400 VPP's for my bonus, I need to play 405 games which means I will have almost doubled my months play from previous high of 210 games. But I may try to smash that and go for 758 games and get to Silver status on PokerStars but cannot guarantee I will manage it, but will try.

I was going to move up and start playing the $3.50 games a little while ago, but have now decided to wait until I get to 1000 of the Micro $1.50 18s before I start on them which if the graph of all my 18 mans goes as it is, should be around $350 profit which is 100 buyins.

But will make the decision on that when time comes and if I am happy with the way my games are going.

So here is a graph so far for my Micro $1 18mans since I started on 1st April 2011.
