thanks kmizz and courtie, i have now achieved my goal of the year which was to get Supernova!

I've been thinking about this accomplishment since yesterday afternoon; my thoughts so far:

1). consistency is soooo important to succeeding in almost anything
2). I have the potential to set myself up to not have to work <$15/hour jobs if I can maintain the hand volume I did this year (hopefully the player pool/legislation doesn't significantly change while I'm in my twenties!)
3). When I'm sipping a Foster's on some Australian beach in February, I'll have the fish at pokerstars to thank. God bless the fish

Happy Thanksgiving!
