Double. My. Money. (By the end of the year)

, 11:14 PM
Hello 2+2 
I'm a newbie 25NL 6max reg, who has moved up from 10NL. I play 4 to 6 tables on Stars. My current BR is ~$1000.
Goals:
This month:
-- Make Gold Star
As I can only really play for this week of this month (and I've just got back from being away for two days) Gold Star will have to do. I played about 10k hands last weekend for about 1.2k VPPs, and I've got another 1.5k VPPs to earn before I go away next Monday.
This year:
-- Earn $1000 (total BR = $2000)
-- Move up to 50NL
-- Improve my game
I've set this because I think it's a very doable target. I've earnt about $900 at 10NL, about half profits half bonuses, since May-ish. Ultimately I am planning on withdrawing the $1000 to pay off some debts, so I would like to earn $1000 + $500 on top to give me a proper roll to move onto 50NL.
I update this thread daily
Threadsavers coming in later posts, I promiseee.

Bit surprised to find I was only a 65/35 favourite, so may make these calls a bit more in future
Looking over hands bit weird that I decided to ship both on flop with so much behind, I'm not entirely sure why that was TBH =s Fish never folded but raising flop would have been so much better...Was abusing him a bit and second one was shipped probably because I'd overshipped against him before and he'd still called.
I've got a couple of others but I don't want to clutter up this thread moaning about bad beats so will just mention them - AA on K245T board BvB, bet three streets with a PSB putting me all in on river and villain has KT. AK vs QQ and JJ AI pre losing a stack on both.
One more tho, just cos it made me laugh:

Some pretty to make up for depression ^^

Ridiculous day, graph irritates me more than I can express.
I played til I hit my stop loss, stopped, looked over hands for a while, decided to play iPoker. Played that for about 4 hours, felt I was playing well, so decided to take another shot at Stars. Lost 2 more BI on Stars so now it is definitely time to stop.
Oh, also cashed in my FPPs playing some SnGs. Came 4th/6 in one 5.4k one, Q8 < 66, and 6/6 in another - JJ < AQo first hand to same dude. Spent the rest of my FPPs playing the 280FPP ones and earnt T$88, which helped my BR a lot after today's ring game results.
Anyway, time to be sick. Stars graph:
Summary of big hands:
KK< AA for 35 euros
AA < TT after he turned a set (K85T board with flush draw)
99 < KK vs a serial 3/4 betting blind protector
QQ < 88 on 845 board vs fish
22 < AA on 726AT board where I overshipped river trying to rep busted flush draw
A6 < TT on TA56 board
KK < ?? on QQ9 board after 4 betting a reg fairly deep and getting bet into very large on both flop and turn
77 < A8s on 326 board, he turned the flush
AA < 22 on 22J board vs fish
KK < ?? on 65432 board with 4 to a flush that I didn't have
KK < AJ on J95A6 board, only half a stack as I'd got some reads on him and so didn't jam river when he checked to me
Blargh, fun reading. I only won 1 full stack in 2,000 hands on a Saturday, I mean wtf.
And then onto iPoker.
I started well, up $50 pretty quickly. Then the doomswitch hit and I start running badly on the £20NL tables, so -$35 a stack.
Lost top 2 to flopped set, AA to QQ AIPF, AKs to AA, AQs to fish's KK, QQ to A7 on 728 board when he rivered another 7.
Anyway, like I said I decided to carry on playing, and eventually ground myself back to evens, which was a very nice feeling.
So, today's results, blargh.
Day 2.
