My goal was to win 100 BI's at 100NL HU. Initially I wanted to make it 100BI's in 30 days, but since I will be traveling to Vegas, I doubt I will get the time to play there enough to make that possible. Katy and I will also be traveling to Austin to visit some of her family (as all my family other than my mom and dad lives in Poland), so I won't be able to play for around a week then either. Thus, I don't have a timeframe for this, but so far, so good.

I still play really badly against players that 3-bet me a lot so I tend to avoid them unless I specifically decide to play against them to practice. I have seen a few videos which deal with this type of monkey (30% 3-bet), but I would love to see some of the better players show adjustments.

My other area where I'm struggling is by paying people off waaaay to light. I can think of hundreds of dollars that I could have if this wasn't the case. That's definitely something to work on.

Finally, I've been talking a lot of poker with two friends - one who plays 200NL HU and one who plays 100NL HU. Both are pretty big (8 bb/100+) winners at their stakes, and it definitely helps my own game to sweat them, have them sweat me, and just talk poker in general. For anyone out there who wants to improve, talking to people that play the same stakes/site that you do is so +EV if your personalities don't clash.
