3/8 - Building Steam!

So after a brief respite from my late February rush I'm ready to hit the grind for March!

We are now in $12 territory and I'm feeling great about my game and where my head is at right now. Most of it is (plug alert!) thanks to sngprotege and the billions of posts I've made and read. It takes a lot of work to learn no-limit! I'm sure some people are naturals at no-limit, but I'm simply amazed how powerful this game is.

Goals for the week:
*Play 100+ games/day Monday-Friday
*Get new desk chair (in the mail!)
*2-3 game reviews with other sngprotege members (hit me up!) - this is excellent practice and has been giving me insight into my own game by watching others play.
* Get a cat, we have a little mouse problem where I live and I'm starting to think all the traps, cheese, and sanitizing won't live up to what a cat can do best.
