So my volume in january was atrocious; however I was playing out of my mind and ran really well on top of that, so I ended up having a pretty good month.

All 1/2:



I feel like I'm playing some of the best poker of my life right now. I think part of the reason for this is I've never really been accountable to myself, so it has always been pretty easy to just sit back and auto-pilot, or spew off a buy-in here and there just because I've never been able to answer to myself. Now that I'm working for leggo (woohoo!) all of a sudden I feel I have this huge influx of external accountability, so if I feel like doing something spewy or playing lazy I take it much more seriously now since I'll have more to answer for. This has long been my favorite training site so I really want to be on my A game at all times to fully represent the ownage that is leggo.

Keeping in line with this theme of external accountability, and reading student caine's awesome blog post on setting goals, I've set up a small goals group with a couple of friends where we'll each outline our weekly/monthly goals and what it will take to get there on a daily basis. Ideally if one of us shirks he'll get his shit pushed in by the rest of the group. I'm trying to find a good balance between school and poker, so for now I'm only aiming at 20 hours of poker a week, though I could easily see moving that up to 25, or possssibly even 30, depending on how busy this semester ends up being. Also going to keep going to the gym and hopefully start SS by the end of the month.

In other news, my roommate recently bought a 55 inch hdtv and a ps3, which is a pretty ridiculous upgrade from our previous 22 inch quasar and super nintendo (snes still the greatest system ever though), so I've been playing a lot of mass effect 2 recently. The game is fun as fuck. The story is really engaging, the graphics are unbelievable, and I'm a huge sucker for the rpg/leveling up aspect of it. Highly recommend.

Time to go pump some Fe! Light weight!
