Mid January Update

At the beginning of the month I made it a goal to achieve Silverstar Status on Pokerstars. Ive strictly been playing turbo 18s. I decided to jump start the grinding by starting to 6 table. Now usually I dont play anymore than 3 but with my monitor I can tile and have no problem seeing all six tables at a time making it much easier to focus on the action. I got in about 100 tournies before getting back to school on the 10th. Coming back to school was definitely going to hamper my ability to grind. I have not had to much difficulty yet as my classes have just started and have not had to much reading/homework to date. Thats why I need to reach silverstar so I dont have to put in as much volume in the later months when school starts to become hectic.

The first two weeks so far have brought an average run of card with some pretty average run good. Its tough trying to build a roll when all you are doing is going up 2 buy ins then back down 5. (Click the thumbnail to take a look at the graph below to see what Im talking about.) Id love to get a boom switch but with the boom switch comes the lack of evaluating on my part. Ive been posting lots of hands concerning bubble play because that is where I need the most help. Id love to get some coaching/teamviewing sessions but I do not really have the disposable income at this point.

Just finished today (18th) with my new record for sitngos in a day with 50. Im 74% of the way to silverstar and should not have much of a problem reaching it with 13 days left. I have been using my FPP to try and satelitte into the 250k guarentee and then if I win withdraw and keep the $T.
