What a run good day it's been today. Woke up at half 1, had some lasagne and settled into a 3 and a half hour stars session. I started out with the aim of putting in some serious volume but I ended up chasing profit instead. I can't remember ever running so good in my life, apart from maybe the days where i could actually run quite fast or quite far. Before my final session i'd logged 61 3.40 18 mans for $229 profit...INSANE. Got a 474 points score which will have me on the low orbit leaderboard for the mars level and now i can chase 1500+ for high orbit. Had a $3 down session at the end but i'll just enjoy the 88 fpps :)
I have been thinking about a way in which to treat poker as more like a job in 2011 with the possibility of assigning myself a wage and thus cashing out a certain amount each month. Just like a job I could reward myself for good performance/high volume which is slightly akin to an article written by Jennifear arguing that cashing out based on volume can be more rewarding. Obviously it's not much different to cashing out when the br reaches a certain level but it guarantees regular cash outs and the br will continue to swell if results are good,
I'm now going to treat myself to a bit of live action down at Big Slick so here's to hoping the run good continues.

2010 review + 2011
So 2010 is all but at an end. Maybe not everything i expected it to be but i can take a lot of positives out of it and look ahead to a challenging but hopefully enjoyable 2011. The main purpose of the blog is for me to chart my progress as i go for supernova status on Pokerstars but also to give me somewhere to spout random thoughts and get out all the frustrations that sit and go grinding can bring.
On the poker side of life i've had a very frustrating year. I feel like i should have achieved so much more and i've probably come out just on the wrong side of variance. I have however posted my most consistent year in terms of play and i think my results have proved that. Having lost the Pokerstars account on which i first played (under my Dad's name) in June, I had to start all over again as Ukanttouchme. Having my year broken up on two accounts i've never really looked back at my year and assessed how it went as a whole, that is until now. Using Pokerprolabs i've compiled the following stats:
All time profit: $13416.26
2010 Profit: $10145.92
For the hours i've put in I have to be very pleased with my 2010. Since I've been at Durham my game has come on leaps and bounds and, even though I haven't been able to get the 5k+ score i achieved in November 08 and have been searching for ever since, i've made enough deep runs in MTTs to make me think that it can't be too far away.
So what do I want to achieve in 2011?
1. At least a 2:2 in end of year exams
2. $10k+ profit on Pokerstars
3. Supernova status by start of October
4. Under 3:40 in London Marathon
Gonna be a challenging year but it's got to a point in my life where I can really do something positive and set myself up in good stead for the rest of my life so here goes!
