This January has been a pretty intense month for me pokerwise. To start things off, I ended up taking down the 2010 PTR micro omaha POY. Huge confidence booster, scored a free year of PTR gold, and received a coaching contract with DragTheBar. This win meant a lot to me because it solidifies that I have accomplished something with poker (although I attribute the 100% of the win to campaigning skills). Still, it gave me the confidence and belief that I can go so much farther than I am.

Toward the end of last year, I was thinking about going Supernova for 2011. After much contemplation about what I actually wanted to gain out of poker this year, I decided not to go for SN and instead moved back to FTP and to get a black card (unfortunately this meant that my free PTR gold became virtually useless). As of today, I'm ironman for the month of January and on pace to get black card by the end of February.

Another motivating factor for me will be the prop bet I made with one of my friends. He laid me 1.8 to 1 odds, $540:$300 on first person to make 15k or highest earner by August31.

Okay now time for a graph
This is 40 hours of play 6 tabling.

$750 profit
$500 bonus
$297 rakeback (after MGR deductions)
= $1547

Actually ran a bit bad towards the middle of the month. Was like 1.1k downswing and 800 below EV or something but kind of standard PLO. Also messed around a bit @ badugi up to 1/2 and lost like $50.

In the process of getting a fake ID as well. I'm not waiting 1 3/4 years to turn 21. Want to have the option of going to play live poker and a lot of my older friends are planning trips to Vegas and shit so I wanna get in.
