"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).
