This might be a little early but as of today I should finish Feburary with over 10k profit. I played in two tourneys on Monday night. Both of them were rebuy tourneys, one a $20 and one a $10. I did great in both. The $20 had 492 people, 1229 rebuys, and 318 addons. I ended up making the final table and at 3 handed we decided to chop the prize pool which ended up giving me my biggest pay day yet for over 6k (I ended up in 2nd place again!)! In the $10 rebuy there was almost 1700 people, over 5000 rebuys, and about 1000 addons. I ended up taking 43rd for a little over $200.
With my finish in the $20 rebuy I bumped up my monthly earnings to just over 10k! So as long as I don't go on a horribly bad streak I should have my first 5 digit month.
My challenge that I've talked about for myself has to do with Poker Stars rewards program. They have different tiers depending on how much you play. Everybody starts at the bronze star and each month you can move up to siver star(1500 points), gold star(4000), or platinum star(10,000). However there is one more tier called Supernova star which goes by how many points you accumlate over the entire year(100,000). I would like to reach the Supernova level by the end of May. It took me a while to calculate a reasonable goal for how long it should take me but I've decided that it's possible for me to do it by May if I really put my hours in. I'll try and update my progess as I go starting in a couple weeks.
Well I'm off to bed as it's 3am and I was up early for a dentist appointment today (no cavities!!).

A month!?!
Wow, can't believe it's been a month since my last post... I might be the biggest procratinator in the world!
The week after my last post I got strep throat and didn't even play poker for a week since I could barely swallow... I'll spare everyone the details, but it sucked.
Well my bday came and went (Feb. 13th). I'm a big 24 now (oh yeah!). Had a great steak dinner at my Mom's on Sunday and then Dad and Juli took me out for a nice prime rib on Monday night. I got some clothes and money for the big bday and I'm really thinking about putting it toward a XBox 360 (If I could find where to buy one).
Figured I'd put up a post since I just made another final table on Poker Stars. There was 2057 entries into the $3 rebuy tourney. Technically I ended up in 2nd place. But with 4 people left we made a deal that gave 3 of us $2000 and another $4000. While I wouldn't normally take a deal like this that gives so much to one person but he had a ridiculous chip lead. We each had about 2 million in chips and he had about 8.5 million. After the deal no one played with any seriousness since it wasn't for anything really and I ended up finishing 2nd.
In my last blog I talked about a challenge for myself but I'll save that for the next post (I hate long posts). I'll put it up by this weekend (maybe?). ;)
Almost forgot.... HOW BOUT THEM BADGERS!!!
