So there is one more day left in January. I believe I have taken 9 days off this month. I will finish with about 155k hands on the month. Both of these numbers are very typical of what I have been doing every month for the last year or so and it is why I am not moving forward in poker (I basically cashout what I make every month). 9 days off is the problem.
So again the goal in February will be to play every single day and hit 200k hands. Thats about 7100 hands per day. If I don't take any days off this should certainly be a realistic goal. I will be moving back up to NL5 again very soon so I will get more hands per hour there.
New Focus
My new focus is to play poker every single day and aim for 10k hands. I want to play every single day and aim for 10k hands b/c if I do so I will steadily march towards my goals in poker. I will document it here to keep myself accountable. Though I have made some great lifestyle decisions so far in 2010, such as quitting smoking (and drinking), I am back to my old habits of playing just enough poker to get by. I don't want to just get by.
My best month ever is still just 185k hands. It is in the archives of this blog for August 2008. I posted every single day that month keeping track of how many hands I played and my pace for 200k. I will do the same to end this month and throughout the month of February.
I have recently upgraded my scripts and now have the best technical setup for grinding that I have ever had.
February is a short month and I am a sports nut in an Olympic city. So while I wanted to shoot for 300k or 250k I am going to make my goal just 200k. I have never actually done 200k yet. I certainly want to play much more, but I will hold myself accountable for 200k minimum.
I should mention that I managed to play one of those donkaments for bloggers the other day. First time I have managed to play in a single event in 3 years while signing up every year lol. I finished 30th out of 1800 or so for a $33 SCOOP entry. Lost a big race blah blah. There wasn't another pay jump ($215 entry) til the FT so I really didn't mind much as I really can't stand tournaments. Being chained to my desk for hours on end is not my idea of a good time.
Anyways, I will play the SCOOP thing, whenever it happens, and report about the winnings here.
2010
Time to update this thing as a new year is upon us. I'm still playing poker. Nothing has really changed since I last wrote. NL2 and NL5 make up the majority of my play. I have won more at these limits on Pokerstars than anyone in the world in the past few years I am sure.
2010 is gonna be a good year. I have shored up a lot of the problems that were holding me back so big things are gonna happen. I will post more frequently this year.
