Growing up?! (surely not!?) and shotgun the fame!!

To ensure this is a short post, I'm starting writing it on the train in the time it takes to get from Darlington to Durham, so this won't be another marathon!

It's obv been ages, as exams have been the order of the day! Think overall they were average, with one absolute shocker which will probably be bad enough to bring me down to a 2:2. Very annoying and would signal a disappointing ROI from Uni when a couple of extra marks would be great, such a fine line but I think my apathetic approach will probably result in a failure...meh nvm, there's always poker right?!

On the poker front, I've not been able to play and make the most of the fantastic new additions to Stars. FIRST OFF, A REMATCH BUTTON....boomtown, this should hopefully bring huge increases in profit if I can coax the fish into playing another game, and I'm currently working out the perfect strategy to reel them in...might start giving it in the chat box or drop to any depths to get them to continue donating...is that really any worse than going in to law anyways?!? But, yeah that's sick, and the extra VPP's I can get from playing through their new scheme should be very nice. I have only played 4 times in the last few months but made 1240VPPs on their new rates, so Supernova for the year should be very achieveable and would help me next year to continue to make a form of Stars rakeback. So yeah, that's looking pretty good, and whilst I will have to work my way back into it a bit, I'm looking forward to it. Alongside heads up, I'm going to play more tournaments or devise a sort of schedule of events. I should be able to combine heads up with tournies and want to make strides in my tournament game.

I will also finally start to drive after I graduate, so when I'm on the road I'll hit the casinos more and get some more practice in with a view to play GUKPT sats and hopefully events if things go well. I haven't written any form of structured approach down yet but I want to start cracking the live value, continue working on the online value and try to be as professional as I can. I want to get some live experience with a view of giving Vegas a shot...I want to be out there, trying to win, enjoying the lifestyle, and lapping it up!

I have always struggled more at times with poker when I don't have an aim, so alongside specific win-rate aims I will set I will aim to become famous(!!!), and this will come about in poker terms at least if I can become one of the best and win big online and then afford to play and win live events...I want this, I would love the lifestyle, so I'm going to put my all in to see how this goes!! Such a pipedream probably, but hopefully will give me some focus, and all it takes is to run good once! SHOTGUN that time!!
