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.
