Ok...As the end of Novemeber approached, I was thinking of leaving poker...My game had gone stagnant, my WR had gone way down and I was getting bored. Then December hit...A few stats...

I turned $100 into a little less then $700.
Won my first MTT for a 102x buy in, but it was 400 person tournament and I'm damn proud of it.
Won a Chipset through PSO
Won enough points on PSO to get HOH and another book, probably TOP (also thinking of Caro's because I plan to be playing more live poker).
Finially convinced my wife that I'm not wasteing all my time playing poker
Have gotten started Bonus Whoring and I like it...

While these accomplishments may not seem that great to some of you out there, to me they are huge...

There are some very specific people I would like to thank for the accomplishments listed above which I will not name for fear of embarressing them, they know who they are...

I would like to thank all the members at PFO for having a great forum, offering help on HHs and stratagies, writing some great articles on everything from BR managament to buy-ins, and just generally being supportive.

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas, and I surely hope this is a sign of things to come for the new year.

Congrats, my friend!

Now only if I could draw a set of goals up like STeve said too...

Tournament started - 2005/12/31 - 22:15:46 (ET)

Dear JstTrons,

You finished the tournament in 4th place.
A $5.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

While the amount wasn't that big of a win, it marks the best finish I've ever had in a NLHE MTT. The main reason I played was to test some of the tactics and stratagies that I learned in the PLO tournament the other day...yep, they worked...some fine tuningand I'll be a force to reckon with.
