Just cracked 10k for the month. I feel like leaving all my tables and not playing again until December. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am going to feel so pathetic if I don't get over 5 figs this month. If I dropped below it I will hurt myself.

Why, you may ask? Because I am getting $8,800 in bonuses.

LOL


DLM;

I know all these things and it is absolutely why I am doing it. I am doing a lot of things to improve my game that I am unfortunately not going to share w/ you guys :P. I want to be a 10/20 FR reg when it runs, a 5/10 reg at 6m, and a 3/6 or so reg at HU by the end of the year. Also, want to be beating 1/2 or 2/4 Omaha and playing some tourneys.

These are all 2008 goals of mine. I will still prob. be playing 80% FR because I basically need to grind out a couple 200k years before I'm 21 and I feel grinding 2/4(20-30%), 3/6(30-40%), and 5/10+ at FR may be the best way to do this. Regardless I will be mixing in the other games and hopefully just improving and becoming a well-known higher stakes winner. Actually, I don't give a [censored] about the well-known part, as all my SN's on the sites will all be unknown :P

I run my own business, so probably put in close to 60 hours a week. Also raise Weimaraners, which takes a chunk of time each day and I have a pregnant wife. So I don't have alot of free time for anything.

Still get in around 40-45k hands a month right now just playing on my laptop. Hopefully will get to 50k without too much trouble soon, as my new 28" monitor is coming tomorrow. Be splitting my play up then some between my laptop and my desktop. Should be able to play a few more tables at a time using the 28" and one of the 20's I already have.

I have 8k more VPP's to hit Supernova, which I never thought was possible for me. Now I just need to learn how to actually play. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Only played 36k so far this month. My MT ratio is 8.16 right now. I have a Dell with a 17" 1920x1200 screen, so I can 9 table with no overlap and I normally will have 10-12 going.

I really need to play less tables and actually learn to play but just trying to get to Nova before end of year, so I am content with my crappy winrate for now.

Kcheel, what are pros/cons of Weimaraners? Know a little about them but not a lot. Have had Labrador Retrievers but have decided to forego the hair, smell, and skin issues next time. Can't beat a Lab's temperament though.

Hope your sister is doing okay, and congrats on the baby!

Not really any cons at all. They are great dogs. Hard to beat them IMO for a family dog. Like Labs, they also have a great temperament. Only con I guess is alot of people will get them and not know what they are getting into.

They are very high energy dogs and they need alot of attention and exercise. They are not dogs you can keep shut up all the time. If you keep them in the house and leave them for long periods of time, they sometimes feel neglected. And if they do, you will be sorry when you come home, as you may be missing half your furniture.

That is the reason you will see Weim shelters sometimes, as people get in over their head and get rid of them. Our male is 3 years old and our female just over 2 years old. Here are some pix of my babies. They are 2 1/2 weeks right now (about 10 days old in pix).







Thanks for asking about my sister. She is doing as well as could be expected in her situation. She went to Duke on Monday and they laid out her options. She is going to start chemo/radiation treatments on the 11th as it stands now.

Hey guys and girls,

Is there any monitor worth getting under a 24" if I want to 9-12 table? I currently 8 table on a laptop which has a max 1280x800 resolution. In the relative near future, I would like to upgrade to a nicer monitor and get a desktop. Any suggestions off the top of your head? Price ranges I should be looking at?
