Jan Review - What A Difference A Day Makes !

Not to poker fortunately but to my state of mind. 24 hours ago i was the most relaxed ive been for months if not years and it wasnt just because i was having a good poker month. Im sitting here now with full blown (without going into detail) symptoms of a bug or much more likely food poisoning. Also before this came on last night the internet went down for like 18 hours (longest yet by a mile) and prevented any chance of my evening session i was looking forward to. Just hope this bug dont last more than 24 hours thats all i ask for.

Onto January (sad im writing this in such a negative mood really) which pokerwise couldnt have been much better short of a huge cash in an Aussie Millions event. Omaha has gone from strength to strength as has my attitude and enjoyment of the came. Now the WSOP schedule is out im really looking forward to playing a lot of omaha and hi lo events this year on the back of Australias trip.

Previous best month ever was October 2005 at £31,000 + a $10,000 cpc package. Until last month i hadnt come close to beating that since (peaked at £28,000 b4 losing £20k in one day in Dec).

Well thats all history now as i can report a record final profit of £40,063 for January which actually would be higher if i lowered my $ exchange rate on my spreadsheet which is still sat at 1.5. The best bit is i havent played that much omaha at 10/20 or 25/50 this month which defintely bodes well for future months. Be interesting to see what happens in Feb and March following on from this but watch this space to find out !

Right time for plenty of fluids :(
