January results

A new year, good results in the first month, so a good time to start posting results again :).



I haven't played many hands this month. The December 2007 'results' made me less inclined to play, and I was at a PhD school in the end of the month. 100NL was going great again; from the deepest point to the end of the month I'm running at 9.5 PTBB/100 over 15k hands. 200NL wasn't going so great, but I feel confident that it will turn around again. Some nice hands:
