I have got off to a good start with the new goal of $1250. I cant write for long, because I'm picking up my engagement ring tonight.
I might start to play the occasional tournament as well this time around simply because the amount you can win in the final table is unreal! Ill most likely play buy-in's from $2 - $10

Still Going....
Sup Y'all
Played again tonight while the AFL was on tv and the misses wanted to watch it... Anyway not really in the mood to type for too long. Played a short simple sweet game in fact only 55 hands. Pocket kings payed off for the second time. This time the player that called me had to of had... AA, KK, QQ, JJ and maybe 10's. So when i hit that king i was dancing!
Well another solid night... the goal is getting closer and closer.

"Oh Snap!!"
Yo...
Another short and tight session, last about 35 mins on 2 tables... and it was a good soild session, no mistakes on my part. Only one hand made me tonight (as below). By the way i kept it short and sweet because there was to much action on the tables and to many callers, which is strange for $2/$4 tables with 9 people. Im starting to feel i have the hang of the game and the style of the play needed at this level. So i hope to keep up the winning at this solid rate.
Im now just under half way to my goal of $1,000 (US$) so must be doing something right. As for playing 5,000 hands i dont care if i dont get to that, because i dont wanna play when the cards aren'y falling my way.
Im still pondering just how far i want to take this whole poker thing, assuming i stay a winning player. But so far i have got to the point where ideally i would be able to successfully earn a total profit of $2,500 to $5,000 a month. But at the same time work full time (hopefully as a pro soccer player).

Big Night
Sup dudes!
Big news, I'm looking at getting engaged to my wonderful girl friend. So yeah exciting times are just around the corner. I hope to have it all sorted by the time i go to move overseas with her. Anyway more on that later, now about poker...
I played at a much higher level in fact most likely to high... $2/$4 blinds. Where the average pot is around the $60 and the players are very predictable. Obviously you need a big bank roll to play at this level (around $4,000), however i wanted to play tight and very clean (ie play the top 10 hands). For example i played 18 flops of 135 hands in one of my sessions. I played very well, and made the wins count and the losses small. Below is a monster hand:

Yo Mo-Fo's,
I played some more this morning, i played very very well. The hand below was probably the biggest hand i play all day. There were a hole lot of ups and downs over the session but over all was a good morning.
Adsense is also going great... easy money, Well at the bottom of the post i have got a fair way to go to achieve my goals of 5000 hands and $1000. But i have got off to a great start.
