March targets

Better to set my aim high and fall short than aim to low and simply under achieve.

Targets:
-120 hours play time no more than 4 tables
-Tiltless
-Practice mindfulness daily at and away from the poker table
-10k profit from poker
-No useless forum/blog browsing
-No alcohol except for Saturday or major events

These are some sweet things to shoot for. I am the only one capable of reaching these targets for myself. Hard work and discipline are the key.

Too much

SPEW!!! It has to end if I ever want to make it. Too many times I have said this and I continue to do dumb fucking shit. From this moment forward I will be doing my best to always take a deep breath and think before I pull the trigger on a bluff.

Coaching has been superb and I know I have many things to learn which will allow me to make loads of monies at 100NL and beyond. If accepted as an electrician apprentice i will be taking the opportunity. My goal ultimately is to crush poker and make plenty of money to live a nice life. That being said something guaranteed is very comforting for me from a personal stand point. Shit if I make enough I could let the old lady quit her gig and stay home. She would be getting her ass in shape though if that was the case.

Anyways I am ashamed of tons of my plays this month and will post a few here given not many will catch a glimpse.

so basically i became quite tilted from losing AAvsJ5 on 552 MPvBTN against a 24/21. I butchered the hand but couldnt believe what villain showed me. Then I get squeezed and I insta check the 19/15 sqz stat which looks high and decide to peel. Decent flop to XJ. The fact is I was semi thinking except the play is completely uncalled for without history.

Besides spew and coolers my game is on point. If I can tighten up the spew, the coolers will always even out, I will have me a crushing February.

Friday

It was up and down though I made a terrible spew for a BI in a 3bet pot which I dislike. Besides that I feel like I played quite well given my new approach. Basically i am done table selecting to always have the best tables. I am just seeking 4 tables with at least one mark and trying to develop reads on the regs. If I want to move up I must learn to exploit thinking players weaknesses. I feel a huge growth spurt coming on.

Booked 5.5 hrs today.

I believe I will...

be beating 200NL in February. If you find this it is here for myself mainly. A place to write my thoughts without any excpected feedback. Just wanted to start a new fresh blog is all.

Today Monday January 25th 2010 I played 5.75 hours of the 6 I set as my goal. I could have jhit my goal but decided to quit due to not feeling sharp. Better to miss 15 minutes rather than spew money for 15 minutes imo. Anyways if you do happen upon this drop a comment.

5.75hrs worked.
