Yippeeeee I made platinum

I made platinum tonight which is relieving but I am 2 days behind where I wanted to achieve it at.  Overall things are going pretty well but the grind is very tough on a small bankroll.  There are times when I get on a cooler and just can't afford to play 8+ tables so I play 2-4 to build some money back up.  So other than trying to manage a mini br the month moves on as planned.

On a second note, I have a slight strain of some sort on my right side in my upper chest/shoulder region.  It went away for a day or 2 but has come back with a vengeance.  I am going to half to figure out a new configuration for my computer or maybe take some more breaks.  OKKKK enough talking, back to the grind.

See ya at the tables

Week 2 Update and The perfect timing for a hand

 Well week 2 is about over and over all its been a pretty good week.  I caught up today on vpp's as I got a little behind at the beginning of the week.  As far as bankroll going into today I was down close to $200 which is pretty significant to my bank roll but I placed first in the tourney shown below which put me up for the week.  20 more weeks like this one would do me just fine.  Here's to dreaming!!!

See ya all out there

Feb. week 1 update

The first week of my supernova chase started out very rocky.  My bankroll was down 20% in the first 2 days.  I took 2nd place in the 4.40 omaha hi/lo tourney so the payout for that helped plus I had 2 winning days in a row so I ended up even for the week.  It would have been much nicer to start out on the upswing but I handled it well.  I did not tilt at all this week.  

I am upto 8,444 vpps on the year so far.  I know some of you chuckle as you read that but it is what it is.  I am right on track for where I want to be but I would like to get ahead of schedule.  That's it for today see everyone at the tables.
