I’m really looking forward to a fresh start in February. Things have been very tough in the second half of January and I can’t wait for a clean slate. Hopefully, I can find a renewed energy for poker as well as enjoy a balanced lifestyle. Thankfully, this year is a leap year and I’ll have an extra day that I usually wouldn’t to get everything done. Maybe I am aiming too high in terms of VPPs, but if I feel that my play and enjoyment is suffering then I may revise my plans…. aiming high at least.
February Goals
- Play 100 Legs of 501 Darts
- Play 150 Games of 8-ball Pool

Hey, Mark from Plan3t Gong here… thanks for the note – nice blog and happy to have added you to the blogs of distinction list!
If you could please return the link with the words ‘Online Poker Blog – Plan3t Gong’ that would be great.
See you mentioned some SEO etc, we had an article with some poker blogging ideas over at SNG Planet – very basic but might be something of interest (technorati in particular is a good one)

Yo, Looks like it works
No caffeine? Damn, that would be tough.
The first few days were tough, I was getting really bad headaches and stuff, after that I didn’t notice too much. Now that it is over I’m just going to enjoy it in moderation.
