New Weekly Goal

So since my last update, I've brought my bankroll up to $259.44.  While I am pretty happy with my success so far, I don't think this pace is going to work; $50 a week is not going to cut it.  Therefore my goal for this week is going to be $500.  It's definitely kind of extreme, but definitely doable since this should be a pretty easy week schoolwise.  This will encourage me to put in more volume and work towards building my bankroll faster.

I'm registered for the Daily Dollar and a tournament to win a $26 dollar token.  I'll also play a few $2 tournaments and maybe some 10nl before the nights over.  Heres a hand I just played and got really lucky on.  It helped me take 9th in a $2-180 man tourney, but I felt bad for this guy since he lost the rest of his stack with KK to Q-8o all in preflop:
