January Recap- Feb goals

January was a great month for me.  I profited a lot from both HUsngs and cash games and a little sports betting haha thanks primo!  I earned 193k vpps so far this year, and have been playing a lot of high stakes.  I feel that as my bankroll has grown, I have become more comfortable with the high stakes games and do not stress when i lose a couple.  5ks still sting a lot, but 2ks and 1ks are limits I can handle.

This post has a very different tone from some posts I made in December.  How quickly things can change in this game.  In December I wanted to grind only 230-570s.  One day in Prague I decided to sit a 1k, and I'm really glad I did because I have had some huge months since then.  I am still being cautious because I know how deadly downswings can  be, but I am definitely taking more risks by open sitting high stakes.

I'm also a lot happier with my life outside of poker.  I have started working out daily and eating a lot healthier, and can see results already.  It was a little disappointing to get big in college because I was so skinny by the end of high school and through my first two years of college.  I feel like I am getting back to my glory days now, and I have the right mindset.

I have some really busy and fun things planned for the upcoming months.  I'm going to go visit Primo and my cousin in Austin with Jayluf and we are going to try to go to the Superbowl next weekend. BLACK AND YELLOW.

Also, I'm planning to go to Copenhagen at the end of Feb for an EPT and stay with DiBasio most likely.  In march I plan to go to Mardi Gras with some college friends and some poker guys also.  After that I'm going to Panama City with some other friends, up to DC on March 12th for my sisters birthday, and then finally St. Patricks day in Boston with other college friends.  I'm really excited for all these, so lets see how much poker I can get in and If i can make it to everything

Poker goals for Feb are 100k vpps and 40k profit before rakeback.  I also have started dabbling in the superturbos on FTP and they seem really soft so I might be playing more of those while waiting for games on stars.

Shout out to PompYouUp who took down the Borgata 350 for 25k and the 1k HU at PCA for 23kish! congrats bro..

Thanks for reading, GL

PCA

PCA was a ton of fun.  I met most of the other sicko HU regs and we had a blast.  I went 0-4 in events busting the 10k main, 5k HU 5k bounty shootout and 1k HU.  Luckily my trip was salvaged by "Scottybcash" when i had 20% of him in the bounty shootout.  He cashed for 73k, and lost on a sick suckout, but it definitely got me close to even on the trip.  I met so many regs, too many to name.  Pretty much everyone whos anyone was there with a few exceptions.  I cant wait until the wsop to see everyone again.

Online has been treating me well as of late.  Husngs have gone in my favor so far this year (with the exception of today) but I am still being carful because i know how sick downswings can be.  Currently first on the ss leaderboard only 18 days in which doesnt mean much, but i hope its a sign of good things to come and hope to maintain the winning streak

I was planning on going to biloxi after pca and then maybe borgata, but I might just take a break from live events and just stay in Atlanta.  I miss my freinds at home and I havent really "lived" there much in the past 6 months because of traveling.  I'm really gonna try to get into a routine of eating healthy, working out and getting back to a normal lifestyle.

My next stop will probably be EPT copenhagen at the end of February and then we will see what else comes up.

2011

2011 has treated me well so far.  Currently I am first on the Pokerstars leaderboard for heads up with 62k in total profits from HUsngs.  Unfortunately, I am down about 30k in cash games so its not as glamorous as it sounds.  Add another -6k from sports betting and PCA entries, and I'm hardly up on the year.  How did Arkansas blow that game so many times?  Last bet of the college football year will be on Auburn -2.5, so even though i hate to say it as a Bulldog fan, Go Tigers!

I will be heading to PCA tomorrow and am registered for the 10k main, 5k HU, 2k Battleship, 1k HU and will probably play some other events.  I want to go there to have fun and am bringing my family (a nice little vacation for them) not to be stuck inside in paradise playing poker all day.

Will be interesting to meet all the big internet names, will post updates from PCA.
