Wait.. what?

Wait.. how did it become March already? It seems like it was just last week I was setting all these awesome goals for 2010 and I was pumped to really kill this year and finally break through the micro stakes. Well instead, the job I got didn't pay as much as I thought it was suppose to.. nor did I get as many hours as I was hoping.. so I've been grinding sng's in order to make the money necessary for my summer trips. Had a decent start to the year.. burned out around mid-February and lost 1/3 of my bankroll. I was able to cash-out what I needed for my summer trips.. which was a plus.. so now I'm able to get back on the cash game wagon. Right now I'm playing 10nl 6max.. 3 tabling on stars... with about 30 buyins. I'm thinking I can hit 25nl by the end of the semester (beginning of May).. and looking to be a 50nl reg by the end of the summer (end of August). I think it might be a bit of a stretch, but do-able as long as I stick with the grind. I still think I can hit my goal of being a 100nl reg by years end. Oh yeah.. I also plan on a deep run or two in the scoops :)

I've realized I need to change the way I approach poker... again. I've been trying like hell lately to grind and get some much needed cash.. and for the 4th straight month, I start out well, but I burn-out by mid-month. I then take some time off.. and then finish out the month strong, along with starting the next month off well. Instead, I'm going to be proactive when it comes to my schedule.. and make sure to take a day or two off completely from poker.. no forums, no videos, no mindless playing while watching tv. Also, one day a week (probably Sunday's after my donkaments) I'm going to focus on learning a new game each week, so that I can get better at mixed games.

Enough rambling I guess. My next few blog posts (if anyone actually reads this) will be me whoring poker stars some more for their contest for at least one free $22 scoop ticket.. with a chance to get more.
