Really looking forward to tracking your progress TP! Hopefully you can post up your progress over here!

I'm hoping to put in a lot more time in 2011 on the virtual felt. I think I say that every year though....

Good luck!

No poker in the future for me, but I'm stoked I have something exciting to follow this year. GL man. Out of curiousity, and a need at work, what is your "real job" background?

Hopefully I will have time to post periodic updates.

Long story... I'll send a PM.

So, just a little update...

My new laptop is fully set up with HEM/TN and the game controller and works great. It's blazingly fast. I was able to 24 table full ring game right out of the gate, which is good. Yesterday, I decided to see how many 6 max games I could play and was actually able to do 24 and very rarely even got into my time bank. I had no idea I'd be able to play so many tables at once, so that's good.

I've been experimenting with mostly $25 and some $50 NL and am surprised at the quality of play. Yes, there are still fish for sure, but on average, I would say it's less than 1 per table at the $50 NL level. $50 NL games are honestly tougher than the $200 NL games were like 3-4 years ago. So, that kinda sucks.

I need to get to SuperNova by 1/1/11 to maximize my 2011 earnings, so that's my goal. At $25 and $50 NL, it's going to take a while, but I need to get used to playing a lot of hours anyway.

I've been pretty much breaking even (small profit) so far, which is certainly better than losing, but I'm going to need to improve my game if I want to break even and hopefully beat the higher limits.

Anyway, just a quick update.

Passed 90k VPPs today... I intend to reach 100k on Thursday and take Friday off from poker, getting "real life" things sorted as best I can before my 2011 begins...
