The goal of $50 by month end may be a little ambitious but early days yet.
Here are some non-results-oriented stats:
Here's one of the C-game hands from an early session in the day. Villain was very loose and I have a habit of equating looseness to high bluff frequency. This guy didn't need to bluff because I kept getting paying him off!

This doesn't look like a flop where you're going to fold out better hands or get hands worse than 77 to call. My thought process at the time was "if I had an Ace here, I'd continuation bet. The fact that there are two aces on board makes it less likely my opponents have an Ace so I'll continuation bet and hope to take the hand down here".
Thing is, how valid is this thought process against 3 opponents?
Even if the continuation bet was okay, with no draws beyond gutshots and backdraws on this scary board, the raiser (without a very good read otherwise) is most likely holding Ace, Ten or a strong pocket pair so I probably should have folded to the raise.
Villain's play was completely consistent with his hand but in the heat of the moment, I didn't even think before hitting the "call" button and going into call down mode.
