I came in here to make an update and realized I never posted goals for this month. Whoops.
My goals (in hindsight - this is what they would have been): 1. Play AT LEAST 10k hands of NL cash games, starting at 3/6 NL and changing if necessary. 2. Qualify for the IRON level Iron Man Freeroll at FT (25 days of 200+ points). 3. Play in at least 80% of the League Events and be in the top 5 in overall points by the end of the month. 4. Log a winning month. I don't like to set monetary goals, but if I had to pick a number, I'd shoot for $5k. I was well over this last month, but then finished under it after that sick run I had at the end of the month. |

And now for my first update!
1. I'm over 3000 hands played so far, all 3/6 NL. This puts me ahead of pace, but I've been playing a lot (for me) and I'm going to have family in town for a week, so 10k is still a good goal for me. 2. I'm well on pace for this. I've eanred my 200+ points every day this month, and even with visitors here this month, I should be able to get the 25 days in. 3. We've only had two events, but I played both and point-cashed in one of them. 4. Thanks to today's sick, sick, sick run (good cards, good play, very few bad beats - and I even sucked out once when my Top 2 pair beat a short stack's set!), I'm already over my goal. I'd double it to $10k, and maybe I should, but I don't want to get too ambitious, knowing I could start running bad any day. The amount I'm up this month barely covers what I dropped from the end of last month, but it does indeed cover it, so I'm at my NL cash game peak right now.

1. Done - I played almost 17k hands. This is the most I've ever played in a month. Just 500 of those were at 5/10 NL - the rest were at 3/6.
2. Done - in 25 days! See screenshot below - I ended up logging 31/31 days of 200+ points, more to see if I could do it than anything else. I'm not going to make a habit of that. I think breaks are important, but I wanted to see if I could truly be an Iron man this month. 3. Done - I've played in all but 1 - registered for it, but forgot about it and sat out the whole time. I'm second overall. 4. Done - I know I said I don't like monetary goals, but I may have to change my view of them. Counting everything for the month, I cleared $20k. Here's the breakdown: $18,000 in cash games $1900 in tourneys (only played in one  )$600 in Bonuses $700 in RB $500 for selling > 50,000 points worth of Full Tilt stuff on ebay --- $21,700 Or, as I prefer to look at it: "This month, poker earned me $15,000 cash plus ." I'd consider that a
