Good replies from all. Thanks a lot!

Ben - I definitely need to work on my thinking in that no one EVER puts me on a range/tries to exploit me other than raising cbets on dry boards shit.

Grif - I'm horrible at the min3bet crap because in my eyes we have direct odds to call, no?

Unfortunately, I am running like shit the past two days but only played verrrry few hands. I think I have learned a lot this month. And not just things that are making me play better, just random crap involving me and playing poker. That said, I do think I have learned a lot though which is helping my ability. I keep having dreams and shit about going to vegas this year and playing in one tourney. I figure this could be my "long term" goal this year. If I can't get enough money to actually buy into an event, I may just go because I need to fucking travel and I have a few friends that will be playing in a few events so maybe I can crash with them for a week or whatever.

My short term goal is to play at 50NL until Feb. 14. Valentines Day means the end of my 50NLness and I should have a solid bankroll to not just take shots at 100NL, but stay there, regardless of withdrawing some money. It's definitely come to my attention that I cannot put in a lot of hands most days because of other crap which is unfortunate for poker but good in away because it will mean I'll be active and have a social life. Also, next fall I am thinking about going back to living with my parents until my spring semester. This would do wonders for my BR and playability and all that so hopefully I can really take charge then but I don't want to think too much about the future and just be like "fuck it, I'll just wait until Fall when I know for SURE I'll have a sweeeeet BR". If I have that attitude, I'll know I continue to stay at annoying stakes.
