Feb. Results/ March Goals

What a month. I don't even know what to say before I post my results. Here they are:

20,471 hands- 7.5k at 10nl and the other ~13k at 25nl
Beat 10nl @ 8.03BB/100
Beat 25nl @ 4.03BB/100

Here's a look at what goals I set for the month and if they were reached...

1. 20k hands. [Goal met]
2. Play exclusively ring. [Goal NOT met]
3. Positive form of rakeback, mostly likely the 210FPP's again. [Goal not met. Played a couple of the 210's, without a cash]
4. Continue to post hands in the HA section, along with sending more hands to a handful of CCers. [Goal met]
5. Take shots at 25nl once I've spoken with a few others throughout the month and come up with a solid BRM plan for it. [GOAL MET!]
6. Do more sweats with some of the regs, along with sweating some of the new 10nl players. [Goal met]

I only played two 210fpp satty's this month and didn't run so well in them. I've decided now that I'm going to be moving up through the limits to save up my FPPs for something worthwhile. At the moment, I'm not sure exactly what...I still have to look into the Stars Store.
The other goal I failed was playing ONLY ring. I dabbled in the Step SNGs, which for some reason I could not beat at all, even though I grinded up through the $22 and $33 SNGs only a year ago. I also played a few MTT's here and there as well. I have put some major thought into a way to achieve this goal and came up with an idea I will include in next month's preview.
Also, I JUST reached SilverStar, with about 45 minutes in the month left to spare! I hadn't planned on doing this at all, as I didn't think I'd be playing above 10nl yet, but when I saw it would be reasonably manageable, I decided to give it a shot. Weeeeeeee for 1.5x FPP's!

MARCH GOALS:

1. 30k hands.
2. Make GoldStar (will come along with completing Goal #1).
3. Play ONLY ring. I need some sort of motivation to do this, and a prop bet seems silly because 30k hands will definitely be manageable, and really shouldn't be that hard for me to do. I'm going to post on CC about this particular goal and the way I will achieve it--if any member of the forum catches me playing anything other than 25nl, I will send them $25. The person would have to show a screen shot of the 'Find a Player' option on Stars and prove that I was playing something else (No photoshopping allowed!) I think me essentially giving $25 away will work as an aid in me sticking to what I want to do this month.
4. Sweat players at the micro limits from CC, preferably 10nl. I really feel like I learned what it takes to beat this limit in a fairly short amount of time and would really like to give back to CardsChat.

After slowwwwly beginning ring in January, and having way to many days I couldn't play in February, I'm really looking forward to increasing my volume in March. I am also working on my own article for CardsChat, so be on the lookout for that.
