Approaching the half-way point now...Here's the breakdown:
44.7% of time passed
31.4% of goal complete
Stats
As you can see the past week or so has been breakeven since I was at around 30k profit at the end of Feb. That's due to a 7k loss over 2 days and grinding it back over the next week. Also yesterday I ran AA into 66 on AK664 for a 4k pot and got one-outed with nut flush vs lower flush for a $2500 pot; would've had a monster day otherwise, instead I won 1k.
I've been stepping the hours up lately. Got a little over 40 hours in this week and hope to improve on that this week. I'll just break down a couple of the interesting stats below.
Hours left for 100k: 687.75
Means at the current hourly I need to play 687.75 more hours to hit the 100k mark which means an average of 8.2 hours per day over the next 84 days when I've been averaging 4.6. Which would be 56 hours per week, which is a bit of a stretch given that I've been at or below 40 so far this year.
On pace for: 70,282.63
This stat takes my current (hours played) divided by (the amount of days that have passed times my hourly), times (the total amount of days in the challenge) to predict what I will make if I continue this pace of hours at this hourly.
SIDE CHALLENGE!
I've decided to do another challenge that involves something that is kind of ignored in the poker community because of how much money flies around constantly: Budgeting and lowering my expenses!
Last year we averaged like 8k per month in expenses, which is ridiculously high. After cutting out some unnecessary stuff, we got it down to 7200 per month in January. February was even better, lowering our expenses to about 6500. By the end of the year I'd like to get that number below 6k as an average for the whole year but that might be difficult with fixed expenses like a mortgage and 2 car payments/insurance/health insurance, but I'm going to get quotes on those to try and get the rates down. I'd also like to pay off one of the cars by the end of the year with some aggressive debt paydown, but for now, I think the money is better leveraged in my bankroll paying the vig on the loans until I'm more comfortable with a couple years worth of expenses built up.
Until the next time!

That also means you have way more time for putting in the hours instead of taking car of kids/wife/house chores.
I think it's inspiring. |

You know there are some free sites that are like web-based versions of HEM for live players. I'm currently using http://www.poker-tracking.com. Just create a username/pw and start inputting sessions. You can create templates for the common limits/places you play, put your time played at each one, what you bought in for and cashed out for, and get some nice graphs and stats of your play. Can even potentially spot some leaks like losing trends for certain hours/days/locations. |

What does health and fitness include? If it's spa and gym fees or items of that nature they can easily be eliminated. If it's medical expenses/insurance etc FORGET EVERYTHING I JUST SAID /hypnosis. |
