Haven't had much to post until tonight...

Well, this month started out HORRIBLE. 5k downswing is possibly the worst way to start the month and it is something I haven't been used to. Ever since Oct I haven't had a losing month and I have usually hit a score pretty early on but this month was different. I know that as a poker player I will have losing months eventually but it is just something I haven't had to deal with yet since I started playing seriously. I finally hit a 3rd in the 20r 19.5k on FTP but I should have won... 3 handed with the CL KKtoQQ for 1.3mil in chips. I win that pot I am HU with 1.3mil vs 150k but w/e. I took 2700 with that and a little confidence... That started a 6 FT run over 5 days of play ending with this $75 40k shipping it for nearly 12k. I played so so sick in this tourney, 100% fearless and controlled all of the play from final 2 tables on.


Time to go over my 2009 goals and see what I have/have not accomplished so far.



New Years Resolutions and Goals:

• Put in a lot of volume and work my ass off even through the tough times. (So far I have played about 800 mtts over 2 1/2 months... I would say I am achieving this goal at this point.)
  

• Work on my mindset through tough times and stay more positive. (Not perfect yet but I am really working on it. I have purchased two books on poker mindset so I am working towards this goal.)
  
• Continue working on and improving my game. (always)
  
• Quit my day job by February. (I quit in January)
  
• Move to Vegas by April at the latest... preferably sooner. (meh, things have changed at this point but who knows)
  
• Have a set Sunday Major schedule by 2010. (not yet)
  
• Hit my first 10k+ score. (11.6k in FTP 40k on March 18th)
  
• Start playing live a decent amount in the places I am able to play. (not yet but plans to start soon.)
  
• Separate personal life and poker life. (meh, not really... poker is taking up most of my life but im working on it.)
  
• Get out with friends and family more and start enjoying life away from the computer atleast one weekend per month. (I have occasionally, bought a new bowling ball and I have been bowling a few times but don't get out nearly as much as I planned to so far)
  
• 100 FTs (26/100, I need to avg 8 FTs per month to make this goal... I had 10 FTs in Jan, 8 FTs in Feb and 8 FTs for march so far so I am doing good on this goal so far)
