Hello hello everyone happy new year. I haven't posted here in a bit, because I took a while to concentrate on finals. Well I'm back for the new year, and ready to set another goal to try to accomplish. This time I'm shooting for $30,000 over the 2007 calendar year. GL everyone hope to see you at the tables I'll be playing almost stricly 1/2 NL Cash games.

I made 220 and 240 over the 2 sessions I've had so far this year.

So +440 on the year Goal at

$29,560.

GG Goal. So yesterday I got back on track with a 4th for 730, well today I've wrapped up my goal with a win in a $55 Freezeout on Pokerstars for $4,862. I had half the chips in play and proposed a deal both 3 way and heads up for a chip chop. They declined both times (which is very bad karma btw), and I just ran insanely good for the win. I only sucked out once (on a guy that sucked out on me when he was all in), and basically won like 1 big race at the FT, flopped a set, and had QQ hodl against AJ. In the end I ended up calling a LARGE overbet with A6 to a tilt monkey who held K5. The flop came A Q Q and when the turn came with a 6 it was gg ship me the money.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo +$4,873.50 for the day.

Goal at -1,211.5 WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WITH OVER A MONTH TO SPARE!!!

Alright let's see what we got here. I know I haven't posted in infinite, but I've also played spoiradically for infinite as well with no major cashes or anything of real interest. Essentially i've been break even in mtt's until last night I got 4th for 730, and the part that makes me reassured is I think I played EVERY hand in the tourney reasonably well. It turned into a donkament at the FT and with an M of like 2 I had to call my chips off from the BB with KJ ran into A3 and lost.Other than that I'm up like 150 from cash games and like 150 from the 4 sng's I've played. So in the past month that's like +$950.

Last month or so +$950.
Goal at $3,662 with
We'll say 36.2 days to go.

When you're either running or playing real badly (or in this case probably a combination of both), airing it out via a public media becomes a daunting task. I lost about another $600 over the past couple days, and was forced to have one of my friends transfer me money ( a first for me), I easily have enough in my bank account and $5,000 in my party account to pay him back one way or another, but it's just a gut feeling of despotism. I've been unable to close out ANY tourneys over the last week a 20th in 55 freezeout, 11th in 10+1 turbo, 1 of 15 in horse mtt finishing 10th, 12 of 36 in 5r going broke with a marginal hand against the CL, and 3 straight 40th-99th in the 10r 55k guar. Not hitting top 3 scores in MTT's is just absoultely killer to a MTT players roll, and I literally just got rolled within the past week. I finished up Harrington on Hold 'Em Volume 2, and plan to take out of the series a deeper grasp of the M and Q factors, probe betting unconnected offsuit flops, and heads up play (should I ever get there unchopped). I also realized that some of the plays I've questioned lately have been marginally if not HUGELY +EV. On that same note, I've made some hurried decisions late in MTT's and played too hurridly on some occassions. So it goes so it goes...

goal at $4,622 with 65 days to go.

-$667

goal at $4,022 with 68 days to go.

Got owned on some bubbles of some sng's -$149 today.

Goal at $3,355 wtih 69 days to go.

I got so fucked over in the sunday million it's not even funny. QQ raises MP button pushes with 99, sb cold calls, I decide to push SB folds he flips over 99 flop 9 river 9 obv. Then later on with 10 bb's approaching the bubble I push with 38 off on the button OBV 1 of 2 blind hands picks up QQ down to 3 bb's. EP push with 8's button cold calls SUPER SHORT sb calls sb has Tens and hols so I retain 3 bb's. 2 hands later I have AJ in bb button pushes with A9 i call board shows K K Q Q 8 for a choped pot. Then I don't pick up a hand for an entire orbit and am forced to call my 2 bb's stack off with 45ss against AT and OBVVVV NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER suckout. He holds with A high I finish 973rd when 900 money.

-215 on the day too angry to figure out anything else.

Yeah I pretty much got owned today -$415, another 42nd in 10r 55k guar. that's my 3rd straight cash and 3rd straight 40-99th place finish. I don't know what I'm doing wrong really. I guess I'll take any marginal hand and get my chips in at that point, since chips are just flying around due to blinds....

Goal at $3,206 with 70 days to go.

Slightly dissapointing day but at least it was black. Terrible run to begin the day but recouped losses with a ITM in 10r and 20th place in 55 freezeout. I played near optimally in the 10r, but regret a decision i made late in the 55.

+$116 on the day

Goal at $2,791
