To make a post. Since Jan is REALLY over.
I think I'm gonna create a kind of format for my month end posts so I can track stuff.
Goals Going In To Jan:
I started this month having recovered from a horrible holiday downswing and determined to do well. I wanted to get up into NL200 and was willing to take shots as long as I was over 4k. I wanted to hit 6k and do a 10 BI NL200 shot. I also wanted to start a new work schedule where I spent 3 days on poker and 2 days in the office. Lastly I wanted to clear a 1.5k supernova bonus and get at least 20k vpp so I'd be on track to hit 100k vpp in June and not lose supernova.
I got killed on NL200, mostly running bad. Did a lot of mixing 1-4 NL200 tables in with my NL100 ones which worked well. It allowed me to play the higher limit without feeling different or nervous. I played the same game on the NL200 tables as I did on the NL100 ones. I notice that sometimes if I 4 table NL200 then I don't play the same as I would if I was 4 tabling NL100, but mixing tables in really stops me from doing that.
I did great in NL100 for the month and got my BR up to 5k. Came up short of 6k but I feel like I will make it there soon. Ran pretty bad for some stretches and never had any solid heaters to make up for it. Dropped to NL50 a couple times when I was feeling tilted or like I was running bad and grinded mass tables there. Broke even on NL50 but I think I overall saved myself money by being at the lower limit for a bit where I could get my calm back.
Also got over 20k vpp and cleared my 1.5k bonus which I cashed out, and that's really nice. Gonna keep going for the 1.5k bonuses even though it does take a while to earn the FPP and then clear, but if I make it to NL200 that time will be cut in half and be pretty reasonable.

Goals For Feb:
I'm gonna grind 6max tomorrow (Sunday Feb 1st) around the superbowl time and hopefully hit a heater and get up closer to 6k. Will mix in some NL200 tables if they're juicy, which I think they will be. Then starting Monday I'm on a mission to learn HU from my coach. I'm gonna start @ NL50 HU till I learn wtf I'm doing. That could be 1-2 weeks, it could be a month. I can be quite a slow learner and variance can always be a bitch, so I'm not gonna rush it.
Once I hit 6k I'm gonna focus 6max sessions on NL200 for a 5 BI shot. If I drop under 5k I will mix in NL100 tables with the NL200, and if I'm under 4k I will only do NL100.
Going for at least another 20k vpp. That should put me at 100k fpp and allow me to buy another 1.5k bonus. So by the end of Feb I hope to have bought the bonus and then I'll be clearing it in March.
Longer term my goal for the year is to be a NL200 reg with a 50 BI bankroll and 3 months of expenses in the bank, and be taking shots @ NL400. I think I can do better than that but I'd rather aim a bit lower with poker goals since downswings do come and shooting too high or too fast can lead to serious tilt when you fall short of the goal due to variance.
Ok Feb, here I come! Treat me good.
