My first 10k month!!!

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!!).
