Most of y'all are probably still celebrating New Year's (happy new year, BTW!) but January's already started here and I'm sitting down to my first SnGs for the year so figured I'd get the thread started :)

Goals for January for me:

1 - Play lots, as always. Almost made my 150 goal last month despite work, so let's go for 170.
2 - Keep identifying and fixing leaks in my game
3 - Profit

Y'all know what to do, go go go :D

Yesterday was my study day and I was very proud of myself. I read parts of 2 books and watched a video at Sitngogrinders.

I did allow myself to play some - but only after a sufficient amount of time was spend studying.

I think what will work best for me is to have a small amount of study time each day - and then once a week devote half a day to studying.

January goals :

1. Obviously make some volume : 1500+ SNG would be cool.
2. Make another attempt at PS trying for a change to make profit at 5.5 DON and upper. Achieving at least Silverstar if not Goldstar VIP level.
3. Make SNG Wizard reviews of my play after EACH session (and no more i will group these at the end of the day just to forget these :rolleyes:)
4. Watch more consistently SNG videos on Sitngogrinders
5. Try to focus on poker 30 days in the month and to focus on celebrating my birthday the other one (which could potentially avoid me a big hit on the BR if I succeed :eek::D)
6. (Optionnal goal) Try some SNG steps on several sites to see if I realistically could qualify for French EPT in Deauville. Would do that only if I'm in a good shape on the main goals as it will probably the last one I could have free time to do....:eek:

Oooof.

SnG wise, I have gotten off to a rough start in the new year. $40 downswing isn't how you'd like to kick off the new decade.

On the plus side, I turned $135 profit in ring games, so I guess I still got the decade started off on the right foot, just not in my primary game selection.

VN Dakota. Keep up the good work!

I managed to earn back 38 or the 40 I had lost, and i'm calling it a night with a $2 loss on the day. I can live with that, considering how the day began. The ring game earnings will wipe away any of the tears that I might shed over my 2 dollar menu cheeseburgers that I lost in SnG's today.

I wish every day were this awesome... Definitely ran hot, and I'm guessing even my EV line is probably better than it should be but I'll take it! Good way to start off the year :)

Thank you. Run good is always nice :) All 24 tabling $10 DoNs @ 22% ROI. The EV line has some flaws to it (most notably it's inability to calculate multi way all in EVs) and 16% is probably higher than I can sustain.

Very nice graph.

16% at the 10's is probably higher than you can sustain, but enjoy the ride while it lasts.
