END OF YEAR REVIEW/START OF YEAR PREVIEW

firstly, tonight's proceedings- there was a $100/$200 game running that looked fairly loose so i decided i was going to gamble my final £2900 there. i put $4k in and was all in, in the bb with A4o v A8o and rivered the 4 to survive. i lost a couple of small pots to go down to $2800. then trebled up with 88 v AK (other players folded after raising or calling a raise). i'm upto 8k$ and then double again soon after to $17k, getting it all in pre with 10s against 6s. i stay on $17k and about 20 hands later, i get 75c. utg raises to $700 and i call behind. 3 more call as well so 5 to the flop, which is, Ak3 all clubs. first 2 players check, then sinceroo bets $3500, i call behind, pass, pass, back to flavorflav who pushes for $39k, sincero calls all in for $22,4k more and i call for a further $12,800. the turn brings the 4h and the river 5s, giving sinceroo the $19k sidepot and me the $52,5k main pot. i peak at $61k before getting disconnected from betfair. i restarted the comp but i get kicked off by waiting list, so i go on waiting list and get back on 30-60mins later, put $20k in $100/$200 and $10k in $50/$100. i bust off the $20k once and $16k more on there but make $14k on $50/$100 to finish for the whole day up £17,500.

very unlikely i play tomorrow so i should finish the year with a roll of £25,500.

my bankroll is £4k more than it was this time last year which is not amazing ;) but i have paid for just over 50% of my house and living costs. i failed to make my £500k for the year target but that's not important.

the biggest pot i won was vs. holein2 for £54,803 (trips against overpair)
the biggest pot i lost was also against holein2 in the same session. that was £82,564 (lower flush)
my biggest winning day was £70,400 against bloeffer.
my biggest losing day was in that session against holein2, where i lost £83,447.50.
my peak money is £235k.

this year i want to win a £100k pot at some time as well as make more than i did this year (£155k or thereabouts). as to how i'm going to keep hold of my £25,500 i'm not sure. i'll think about that tomorrow.

gl to all in '08
