Shocking

Well, the year could not have started off worse really.  When it really matters and I need to make some $$$ I hit my first losing month since records began over a year ago, Meh.  (By the way I still have not figured out what "Meh" actually means but the internet kids use it a lot and i'm trying to keep it street so Meh).

These were my targets -

1500 games- Any SNG type.

12 hours study -Mainly in HEM but also finish Moshman HU book.

Blog each weekend - This is enjoyable and helps me focus from week to week.

15 Fitness sessions - I would like to think I have gained a few pounds over Christmas but if truth be known, the last nine months have contributed to me being at my heaviest weight ever and at the age of 37, if I don’t get it gone now, it will probably be here forever. As I am struggling to reach round to wipe my own arse, I had to add it.

Profit target $1500. - I don’t usually aim for cash targets but as this money will now be feeding my family, I have included it as a necessity.

And my results were -

1100 games.  400 short and 600VPP short of Platinum, basically due to a couple of sick days I had in the last couple days of January.  You dont get paid for being sick in this job.

Easily completed 12 hours+ of study while I was tutoring and alone.  Got about 12 pages of the Moshman book read though Meh.

Blogged each weekend but I think one was late

Fitness sessions 0 - However on a side note I did eat less, loss about 7lbs and can now comfortably wipe my own arse without having to do a girlie under wipe.

Profit $0  Actually -$136

I am pretty disgusted with myself really and another month like that and there is no doubt I will be full-time back at work before the summer.  Looking over my results, IF I had stuck to my games (9 and 18man) I would have been in profit albeit only slightly but the 45's and 180's (which I have never played before) absolutely killed me.

So a re-focus required for February which has already seen me start to lose and add in HU games.  Now I am semi-pro I just think I can win wherever I sit down and I need to shake this quick.  With only 29 days in Feb and Stars being down for a day already I will be missing number targets again, unless I can hit some rungood and playgood and start to 10 or 12 table.

Anyways to the serious stuff TAPP.

These are the feelers I have put out in the last week or two.

Vanessa Selbst-

@VanessaSelbst You study law and hate the police how does that work?

@DoubleAgent22 i like justice and seeing the law upheld, and the police rarely follow the law? what's hard to understand?

@VanessaSelbst Police don't uphold the law? What is your experience with them that makes you say that? Contradictory I think.

. @DoubleAgent22 read these for starters http://www.parc.info/client_files/Special%20Reports/4%20-%20Mollen%20Commission%20-%20NYPD.pdf http://www.ci.la.ca.us/oig/rirprpt.pdf

So @VanessaSelbst gets on the leaderboard for the reply for 5pts BUT, she is deducted a point for just being stupid and living such an imbalanced life.

If anybody can be bothered to read the bullshit links she attached feel free but I didnt think it warranted my time.

1st place		Devilfish		5pts
2nd		Selbst		4pts
3rd		Daniel Negreanu		Minus 50pts
		JRB + Matusow		Minus 50pts
		Doyle Brunson		Minus 50pts

Mike Matusow-

I just finished reading your autobiography @themouthmatusow V good read, just wondered if u could score me some blow when I am next in town.

Sorry @themouthmatusow I should have spoke in code. Can you bring your mate Charlie up to my room, one Henry should do it n I'll drop u a 2.

No reply from the Mouth, maybe he was in the middle of a transaction.

JRB

@stowjonpoker I think @BrokeLivingJRB is an ignorant jackass, seems to ignore anyone but his friend and hates the English too I guess

I predict that @BrokeLivingJRB will have to suck his backer off again and swallow his load before he gets his BR reload

@stowjonpoker @BrokeLivingJRB sucks AT poker and sucks TO PLAY poker. A good cover for Gay Monthly magazine I reckon

A friend of mine @stowjonpoker tried to help me out with JRB, but nothing could get a rise out of him just like his BR never rises either I guess.

Negreanu-

@RealKidPoker Why all the hating of FTP peeps. What have they done to you? Small misunderstanding.

This geezer is a mute to most of his fans in twitterland.

Phil Hellmuth-

@phil_hellmuth Did you tell him if he runs into some bad luck he should cus some1 out and curl up into a ball and everything will be ok.

This one was in reply to Phil having a "This is what life is all about" chat with his boy. 

Going hell for leather with TAPP this week, if I can find a way to migrate from twitter and contact them via other means I may try that - e-mail, phone.  Any ideas let me know.
Sorry no pics this week due to being in anger mode over my poor month.  When I cheer up a bit i'll add some nice pics for you.

Good luck everybody
