Week 2 of live grinding...results and wrapup

My second week of live grinding is complete.
I played 4 of 7 days, posted 2 wins, 1 break-even and 1 loss.
I played both $1/$2 NLHE and $3/$6 LHE.
Playing LHE, I lost $363.
Playing NLHE, I won $1521.
Altogether, I worked a total of 30 hours and won $1158. ($38.60/hr)

What I did right:
I chose games with the fewest regulars, whenever I could.
I was all in with the best hand every time but once in heads-up pots.
Did not play scared.
Developed reads and went with them (was wrong only once--that I know of).
Didn't encounter any maniacs this week, just value bet my made hands and picked off some bluffs.
Played a fundamentally sound game and didn't get fancy.
Successfully value-bet the river with 1-pair hands more often.

What I did wrong/need to work on:
Spent too much time playing LHE. The LHE game cost me $20/hr just to play this week. Compare that to being paid $169/hr to play NLHE, and my decision is clear: give up LHE and play NLHE exclusively.

My goal for next week is to log 30 hours of NLHE.
