Tilt over

Just before I started again Animal had come onto my msn and was saying how he dropped down in stakes as he had a little losing streak and it had seemed to work. Never really took this into account but I decided to close off the $220 games and add the $33 games so I was playing $33-$110 sngs. It seemed to work! From $2200 starting balance that day I ended up on $250 then changed my lobby hoping that I wouldn't need to deposit for the first time in 4 months. I am now up to $1850 and cleared my $600 end of year Iron Man bonus in the process and also withdrew my rakeback that went in on Friday. So although this weekend was about getting my account back up to $2k I still managed to withdraw a fair amount.

This months stats are going to be pretty poor to be honest compared to most others. I know its down to a few reasons such as me losing patience and tilting a bit but I think the main reason was because I was going in between 2 different sites, playing 2 different structures and it was effecting my game, too tight in some and too rash in others.

January has always been disappointing, people think oh its a new year, fresh start I will make these targets etc etc then in the first few weeks they realise their targets wont get met and they give up, its pretty demoralising. I however still feel that I will reach my $100k+ target for the year especially now that the Iron man bonuses will come faster and faster. This time next year I hope to be getting an iron man $600 bonus every 2 months which will be a nice $3600 a year bonus for nothing! Add to this rakeback and next year my bonuses and rakeback should actually be a basic wage in itself let alone winning money.

I almost booked Egypt yesterday to fly out today until I found out my friend has probation on Tuesday :( so that's gone out the window. It's good really as I really do need to save money but I am struggling.

I have managed to nearly pay off a credit card thats been sat there taking the minimum payment off it for about 4/5 years now once that is out the way then the true savings start. However I am tempted to dabble in the stock market as I have had a tip for something that I may put 4/5k into and hope it triples my money in a short space of time.

Anyway time to hit the tables GL
