I'm going to try to be very realistic after running really bad and nearly busting my bankroll, so here's what I'm hoping to accomplish in January.
[ ] Make $40 playing SNGs exclusively
[ ] More volume - 2 hours a day minimum*
[ ] Place in the money in a large tournament (1000+)
[ ] Win 1 or more live SNGs at the local charity games (130 payout, 30 buyin)
I'm really trying to get back to putting the volume I did during my first semester (roughly 9k hands a month at 2/5, 4 table max) because recently work and social activities have been slowing me down. I find myself constantly reminding myself that I should be playing and trying to learn more about the game, especially when I'm out doing insignificant things. I feel I can be a very strong player based mostly on my ability to read hands and outplay people postflop, at least at my current level. By June I would like to be playing NL50 but I know I have a long, hard road of grinding and analyzing my play. I may get some sort of screen capture program so I can make a video of how I play so people who are better than me can give me some advice, but I'm not sure on that one.
*This is hard to say but I think I can make at least 2 hours a day. I have really no excuse to not be able to put in that amount of time, so we'll see where it goes.
GL at the tables LP, here's hoping 2010 brings you all good fortune and no villains catching 2 outers on the river! :D

This is going to be a big, ranty blog full of moaning and uncertainty so if you don't want to read something like that, you should probably ctrl-f4 this tab now.
I'm currently going to a small college by my house because I didn't really apply anywhere since I was about 1 month away from going to play junior hockey. I'm on what is almost a full ride but my GPA is slipping and I'm afraid of losing my scholarship. If I lose my scholarship I can't transfer anywhere basically, but on the other hand I have no "conventional" interests - I've never been interested in having a 9-5 job or anything like that. Maybe it's naive or stupid but I don't know. Basically I think college is a waste of money because I don't want to live the rest of my life working a job I hate, and I can really only see myself going that direction if I'm to finish college and slip into a standard lifestyle. I have a lot of money saved up for a 19 year old but obviously not nearly enough to live on for more than a few years.
I'm sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat of not wanting a "real" job and being really uncertain with where the future is going to take you...any thoughts/experiences?
I probably played this pretty bad. I already posted my thoughts in the comments of the hand, but I'll do it here too. I was afraid I wouldn't get any action from a bigger bet on the river but I probably could've shoved and still gotten a call now that I think about it. Best case scenario is he has pocket queens, but I'd seen him reraise pre with queens so I was pretty sure he had something weaker. Feedback would be appreciated.
i was reading slowhabit's book and got a pretty good laugh out of his name. definitely no disrespect meant considering the phenomenal player he is and his contributions to the community via his written work, but is his name pronounced "try men?"
Decided yesterday I'm going to move up to .02/.05 after going up 6 bi's at .01/.02...so far so good! No noticeable skill difference (probably would seem obvious there's not a big difference but as a .01/.02 player I always assumed .02/.05 would be at least a little bit better). Not really a big deal for most here but I'm working my way up
Because I like to procrastinate and generally am an asshole in school, I have 4 papers, 2 projects, and miscellaneous homework for my other class to do today. Rant rant cry cry.
Poker-wise, I've been winning a lot of the micro HU matches I've been playing in the past few days. The winnings only account for about 16 dollars plus a 3 dollar SNG win for 13.50 on Friday, but I'm running a lot better than I had been previously with NLHE and I'm feeling pretty good about my roll getting bigger. I also took 2nd at a low-stakes live sng at my friend's house for 5 dollars and won maybe 3-4 dollars with PLO earlier this week.
I think I've created a pretty bad image of myself on here and that's not what I'm about at all, so I'm hoping that my straightforward, ego-free posts in the future will look better than the previously ugly posts. I can't wait to knock this homework out so I can get back on Stars...
