I have been super busy with school, I actually do my best to get good grades. I'm a junior at the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign and I was away from school for two years due to some personal things I needed to work out. Last semester I got a 3.64 (out of 4.0) after those two years away and it felt great to not suck at school. Anyways, school is the major focus and I try to play as much as I can in the meantime. I would say most of my volume comes from the weekends, which kinda sucks because I'm missing out on some good partying, but I think the weekends are the best time to put in volume because of the amount of mouth droolers out there.

Here are a couple of interesting hands I have played over the last couple of days.

Button is 65/13/1.6 over 89 hands total fish. I thought about raising on the river, but I believe a flush draw is a good portion of his range.

This is the same Villain as hand #1. 98o isn't exactly the best hand to be iso'ing with, but I had a pretty tight image and figured I could get away with it. He 3 barrels me while I'm getting sweat by LetMeLive and we decide to call three streets because it didn't really make sense from him.

February Goals
-35k hands

So far I have 4029, so at this rate I'll only end up with 17k hands or so. I need to ramp up the volume.

-Maximum of 6 tables at once

I have had 7 up at once, but only while transitioning from sitting out on table and bring the other one up. It can be a little confusing but usually its not a big problem having all those tables because I am using a program that is in beta call TableNinja. It is similar to all the other AHK scripts out there for stars like StarsAssistant, BetPot, etc. Except it is all one program and doesn't use AHK so it is faster, it also uses a graphical GUI that is more user friendly. I would this to anyone else if you are looking for something to help making multitabling a little bit easier.

-Gold Star (if I get close to Platinum, the end of the month will turn into a **** show)

I currently have 1,021 vpps this month, Gold should be easy, Platinum probably unattainable considering my inability to put in volume.

-3 Sweat sessions

1/3 down, just need to find 2 more people that want to sweat me. Leave me a comment or pm or something if you are interested.

-50 strategy posts total on the forums at Leggo

I have the big goose-egg here, zero posts at all on the forums here. This is probably the easiest of my goals if I would actually respond instead of just reading them.

-Watch 10 videos

2/10, I need to figure out a new series to watch as I just finished a series that was produced for beginners and the content wasn't exactly riveting.


I will be updating this again tomorrow with my weekly graph, so come back and increase my views!
