Probably done with January, so here goes.



All from 50NL HU except one session at 100NL HU. It says 36 days (not sure why) but not many hands from December.

Also, was out of the country for 1 week... so still looking for first 5K month... good thing February's a leap year

+15buy-in week at 50NL HU to follow my +20 last week.

plan was to move up to 100HU but hey, lost 1k in AC last weekend. ran cold played bad blah blah. did make 2FT. highest finish 6th. whoopee.

leave tonight for the caribbean for a week. looking forward to getting away from the cold here in dc.

so looking back, 2007 was my best year by far.

2008 will be monumental. rather than constantly cashing out for trips, investments, etc. i am going to engage in aggressive bankroll building and reinvest all(most) earnings. i have not worked out a comprehensive plan as of yet, but the groundwork will be something along the lines of reaching 1kHU by year end.

it will be tough obviously because i do have a full time job, girlfriend etc so i cant play 3+ hours a day, but i will be committed to rapidly rising in stakes. nows the time, those wedding bells are getting louder!!

hope you enjoy the ride.

Been a great week. Not particularly running that well... it's the fact that the games are so juicey.
So i'm now officially rolled for 100NL HU. Anyone know who to avoid and who to jump in on stars?

Going up to AC tomorrow until tuesday to celebrate a jewish xmas. Prob will play some borgata tournies and the normal 1/2 and 2/5.

He's a good pitcher, but I'm not really ready to give up jacoby ellsbury.

We won the series this year without him, and can do it again.

In fact, I would love for the yanks to give up hughes, cabrera and kennedy, to have $50mil locked up between 2 players.

Bucholz is projected to be a #1 starter. We have him and Lester under contract for at least 3 years.

So one time theo... just leave the roster alone.

Went to foxwoods one day over thanksgiving break so I could practice my high-fives methodology to dudes (and a chick) that emplore wearing sunglasses while playing the $100 donkament and 2/5.

so i get to the 'woods late and sign up at the end of level 1. now i usually hate getting to live short stack events late, but at my parents house in west hartford, i still have the same twin size bed since from when i turned 3 (i'm 25 now). usually this wouldn't tilt me that much, but since i now sleep comfortably on a sealey posterpedic pillowtop plush foam memory cushin mattress down in DC, this temporary downgrade really was tiltworthy.

i tried to remedy this by putting some type of egg-crate contraption on the twinney after not sleeping a wink the first night home, but this ended up causing me to sleep on a slant all night, and thus, have a hard time moving when i actually woke up.

ANYWAY. i sit at my table. 5K starking stacks. 20 min levels. im down to about 4800 before i look at my first hand. so i see some flops. miss all of them. set mine attempt a few pairs and im down to 2500 by level 3. at 100/200 there are 3 limpers. SB folds. i check 97dd in the BB. flop 10d 6d 2s. i lead 600 preparing to felt with any action. button is the only caller. turn 3d. with 1700 behind i bet 1K. button shoves for 600 more. i call. he has 45dd and misses his 1 out.

pick up a few more pots. hover aroun 10 - 12k for most of the tourney in shove/fold mode. gets down to 23 guys (20 paid). sunglass stu moves to my table, CL by pretty wide margin. this kid literally took 2 minutes to fold every hand, regardless if there was a raise in front of him. this was pretty aggrevating, especially bc of the 20 min levels. i did enjoy his speeches though, but definitely not as much as when there was a raise and he would strategically lower his shades to stare down the original raiser before acting. he actually even went through these same motions when it was folded to him as well. i commented that i thouroughly enjoyed his style. i then asked if i could have a high-five from him when i busted out. he countered by asking for a handshake/hug combo, but i assured him, that a high-five was definitely more classy.

so blinds get to 1500/3000/300. folded to me on the cut off i look at one card, see an ace, shove it in. called by JJ. miss wheel draw and the over. i get up and make my way to sunglass stu to recieve my parting gift. out of left field s.s. actually decided to go for a two-handed high-five. i calmly explain that its actually against my moral beliefs to perform such an act, as i explain that my childhood heros, the TMNT's (teenage mutuant ninja turtles to those born after 1985), have abolished such practices in favor of the one hander.

about 3 hours later i stack sunglass stu for a 300bb pot when i turned the stone nuts and snap call his pathetic bluff attempt with 33 on a 10 J 4 K board. but i'm glad to report i still received a ceremonious one clap slap.

So last year about this time i decided to try and build a huge bankroll by only playing HU SNG's. I set aside 400 and decided to start at the $22 level and move up levels after I reached +10 wins at each step. In all seriousness, my goal was to reach the 5.5K level and try to build up to 100K.

So i breezed through 22, 33, 55 and was sailing through 110 when I hit a wall and just free falled back down to square one. One month of building fell apart in 2 or 3 days. Not fun.

Well my HU game is miles ahead where it was last year, so I am deciding to give it a go again. I have been particularly motivated because i have been on a ridiculous heater where i've won something like 30 of my last 33 HU SNGs. Not to mention my nice finish in the HU WCOOP event.

So i am once again going to do this '100K Challenge'. I have decided now though to only move up when I have 25 buyins for the next level. So i'll set aside 400 or so to start this and begin at the $22 level.

i'll keep ya'll updated on my progress.

and here's a picture from last new year's:
