Today's my last day that I'll be playing this month, and unless I win 50k I will have failed the 100k in 5 months challenge I put on myself at the beginning of the year. A couple of things slowed me down including a very slow start in January, due to my lack of hours at the tables, and a complete loss of the desire to play online on a site with crappy software and low traffic. So instead of trying to win 100k with a combination of live and online play, I had to try to win 20k per month at 5/10 live. I still think that it is do-able, (in fact I know a reg who hit 100k profit this year a few weeks ago playing 5/10 only) but I think that it requires a lot of hours of play per month. Something that I'm not willing or able to commit at the present.
Stats for the year:
Total Profit: $50,490
Total Hours Played: 732
Est Hands Played: 25,620
Est Rake + Dealer Tips Paid: $10,980
Days played: 109/150
Avg Session length (hrs): 6.72
Hourly Rate: $68.96
Win Percentage: 57.80%
Monthly breakdown:
January, 96 hrs, 57.68/hr
February, 178 hrs, 120.46/hr
March, 167.5 hrs, 71.33/hr
April, 153.5 hrs, (32.74)/hr
May, 128 hrs, 128.76/hr
I'm a little disappointed with the downward trend of April and May in terms of hours played. Hopefully I can up the number significantly with the WSOP going on now, but MTT's could interfere with a lot of cash time, so we'll see what happens. I really wanted to hit 750 hours but I just didn't have it in me. Took some extra days off, but I don't think I would have done anything differently if I had it to do over again. January's low volume is the culprit, and a lot of the time I took off in January wasn't really in my control so I'm happy with how it all played out.
Any ideas for a rest of the year challenge? I was thinking after WSOP ends trying to do 1,000 hours from July-December. That's 167 hours per month average, but I should be able to play a shit ton July-Aug because Mrs. wh00sel isn't working during that time. I may have to take a vacation or something though after the series, because I'm sure I'll be pretty burnt out this year, as i'm trying to stay at the casino until midnight or later every day that I play.

your last name is wh00sel? Thats awesome dude
Maybe do a total hour challenge after your vacation, so like Aug to end of year? As many have pointed out before, a $ target is not the best goal in the world. |

But $ targets are much more exciting than hour targets. Maybe trying to showdown a Royal Flush is a nice target. |

Which shitty software / low traffic site were you referring to?
Also what about a goal that forces you to grow as a player like posting a hand per session/week along side an hourly goal to keep up a good work ethic? |
