[x] d. None of the above!
 
Seriously, it's too short sighted to look at one hour sessions. You need to look at poker is one long session. Finishing up or down for any one one-hour or five-hour session isn't the ultimate goal. Sure, it would be nice to finish positive every time, but it won't happen. Even the best will lose in some sessions. Whether it was a bad decision in a hand or variance/bad beat coming to get you, you'll lose as well. But losing doesn't make it a bad session necessarily. Focus on the long term results.

I think what you really need to strive for is finishing up a session of whatever length and feeling like you really played well or being happy with your play. That you were happy with most of your decisions and that you understand why some of your difficult or less favorable decisions were what they were. And that you take that back, study it, and post hands here to get input on how it could have been played better or different.  And if bad beats got ya, well move on and keep doing the right thing.  If you're truly becoming a better player, then over time the luck factor will even out more and more and the skills you've built over that time will show you a profit.
