2007 was a constant up and down in life >_<
It simply happend too much things to mention them but it really was a rollercoaster concering almost all important things in Life.
University , Girls , Money , Health , Sport success , Friends
Pokerwise there was no difference.
I learned a lot though.
I started poker in November 2006 after a RL friend with whom i study at University told me he s a poker maniac.
I dl a Programm ( maybe it was World series of Poker championship or whatever) where u could play Tournaments vs Esfandiari
and some others.
I learned the basic rules and then started to play Limit 0.10/0.20 cent on Party poker with the Pokerstrategy bonus.
I cleared it in till january and i made + 200$ ( bonus of 150$ included ^^)
Then i made a big mistake ( or lets call it bad choice)
I read about SNGS in the stupid Pokerstrategy forums all the time ...
Everybody was like : SNGS are the NUTZ -> easy money full of fish and bla bla
everbody at Pokerstrategy forums seemed to be a longterm winner at SNGS and claimed that it is totally superior to cashgame.
I started to play my first SNGS ... and i got addicted to that shit T_T
I wasted Februar to August playing mainly sngs .... and Mtts at different sites like Party,FullTilt , EverestPoker and Pokerstars ...
I didnt make any mentionable profits ...
I just run bad forever and SNGS are almost completely luck dependend anyways ...
Unfortunately I needed a fucking long time to understand this
September i finally returned to cashgame and destroyed Nl 10
I moved up to Nl25 and run pretty decend and played kinda okay ...
I finished the month with + 251 $ on Nl25 in about 20 K hands.
I was close to Nl50 bankroll overall but then i hit an ugly Downswing on Nl25 just before i moved up to Nl50
-> and started to mega Tilt
image is what i "tilted" away in like 4 days ...
not that i spew preflop ... i Justed played AA KK QQ etc till the river no matter the board...
my bankroll was like 400$ after that shit
I donked another 250$ away at Hu SNGS on Party and Stars ....
And transferred the remaining final 150$ to Ipoker on 16th October to play Nl10
Again i destroyed Nl10 pretty easily and just after a few days i was back at Nl20 
I destoryed Nl20 for the first 2 weeks and i was looking forward to NL50 again in like mid November
Then same thing that happend on Party ... i got a brutal Downswing just before reaching NL50 and lost like 300$ in just a week playing Nl20 -> then megatilt and i lost the rest but 11$ on 30$ and 50$ HU sngs ^^
Yeha Tilt control ...
Good thing is i got known to Bongky <3 at this time ( we both played Nl20 and sat at the same table one time) and we talk alot about poker and Life on MSN and i think it really helps to know someone you could talk about all that poker stuff and who is in kinda a similar situation than u .(Limits he plays pokerwise i mean)
It keeps u motivated and more focused.
I also got known to Deadman <3 whom i respect a lot.
I think he has some good potential since he has the things besides the pure card game skill that many others lack ( Iron discipline and willpower)
I was to quit Poker at that time beginning of september and just play a view HU sngs ( 1$) and Nl10 cashgame for fun.
this was beginning of December 2007
didnt go too well since i quickly started to play SNGS again and lost all ...
last 11$ i lost to bongky HU in flips 
Then i had a long process of thinking about my goals in Life and shit ...
I deposited 150$ on Pokerstars in mid december13th and started to play Nl10 again.
Only difference this time = I banned myself from SNGS lifetime ! ( tournemants and FPPs are allowed but no money involved SNGS)
I started to grind out Nl10 and talked a lot to bongky on msn.
As always i destroyed Nl10 again ....
Now i am here with 403$ and ready to play Nl25 ( moving down as soon as i lose 2 buy ins )
Havent touched any SNGS yet and i am pretty sure never do again in my life. Havent visited the stupid Pokerstrategy site either 
Well as u can see 2007 was pretty marginal Pokerwise for me.
But i am confident for 2008.
And i still feel i learned a lot and my life profits greatly from Poker ...
I have so many friends working their ass of in shitty part time jobs besides university for 400€ / month ...
Even though i fucked 2007 pretty much up pokerwise
Its still one of the best things that could have happend to my life
