Finished short of my VPP target for January however I was not feeling 100% at the beginning and end of the month - this is why I played more hands at 25NL than 50NL. Earnt 3,700 VPP's and $340 in bonuses to leave me at + $1,600 for the month.





Last year I played a robotic and predictable 17/15 and this was how 2010 started. But 2010 is about improving and as soon as I started paying attention to hands, putting opponents on ranges, considering stack sizes e.t.c. in every hand I got looser and more aggressive as the month progressed. It has made me realise how many spots I would have missed last year for bluffs and more importantly for value.

For February I am going to try to get more hands in (30k+). I need to earn another 2,200 VPP's on Stars which will see me clear another $260 in bonuses which I should do in about 11,000 hands at 50NL. After that I dunno!
