How do you interpret these results?

I don't know if there is really all that much to be gained by totalling up annonymous wins and losses like this.

Limits played and time played (and some sense of whether you played well or poorly) is needed to really judge for yourself whether there is any cause for concern.

Pokertracker-type stats are what would give you a better picture. If you were using PT this list would be irrelevant and what would matter is what hands you are losing with, are you playing too many hands preflop, are you too aggressive or not aggressive enough, etx, etx.

Also a sense of what bankroll/ limits this is for are pretty important for us to give an educated reponse. If you lost $1.20 in 20 minutes playing 1c/2c then it is totally different than if you played 50c/$1 FOR 3 hours and essentially broke even.

Just looking at the list I notice that the winning sessions are larger than the losing ones. Is there any reason for that (different limits, etc)? Do you feel you played badly, late at night, for too long, etc, etc in any sessions?

Losing vs winning is NOT a leak you can plug, if you think there might be reason for concern use some tool/system for finding and fixing the leaks and don't worry SO much about the # of winning session vs losing ones.

ya like BB said, tally hours instead, then get a BB/hr. much more useful.
also its hard to say if having more losing days then winning days is bad, it totally depends on ur style.

to make sense of these numbers...

what game(s) are you playing?
what levels?
what levels are the next above and below the level you are playiing?
even though it is a tough estimate, give me a rough bb/hr number if limit or a $/hr if NL. Just guestimate it.

Thanks for the responses...this is live poker, 5/150 NL, meaning the maximum you can bet at anytime is 150 bucks. If you want a sense of what those numbers are, I divided everything by 102 bucks (just happened that I lost that much first go round)...and I estimated that overall, my sessions averaged 4 hours and I therefore was winning at a rate of approximately $40-42, or 8BB an hour. What is a good winrate for NL?
