Poker Update and Website talk

"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." - Booker T. Washington

Sounds like a big project! I hope you inspire alot of people to help out. I dunno if it will make you life more exciting though, you'll still be at a computer battling with little problems and deadlines
Hope it goes well

hey joe

i'm a 2p2er (and v low frequenter of lp (i mainly check out marshall's blog on here ))

like, i love poker (though play microstakes) and i love poker podcasts (lifewithfacecards, thinkingpoker, pokerstatic, pokercast whatever).

if you need some help with the website i'd love to lend a hand. though if i need to know something about computer language you have to tell me now so i can at least look into it (and prepare a learning schedule for python, django etc (i know nothing about them or what they do, i was hoping to contribute more to the content side unless you were desperate))

are you ready to brainstorm on here wrt content? or is it private?

Stay focused, and you'll have a good shot at completing this project.

good stuff Joey

keep the frequent blog posts coming

You have the worst fashion taste tho

yeah blog some more. And post some pictures too!

by the way, just wanted to comment on the whole goal oriented thing you touched on. I recently set goals for myself for the first time. Nothing special, I just had a daily profit quota I wanted to hit. I know you should never stop earning money as long as you are winning, but I needed something to look forward to, a set value so I could feel like I accomplished something for the day. Instantly my bankroll started to grow in ways it has never grown before. Quite simply I was a winning player almost every single day. There was no such thing as a losing day, because I always had to hit my goal. Of course sometimes I failed anyway, but it sure felt a lot better than any other given day where I just played till whenever. It even helped me through the tilt by keeping me focused so that I could hit my goal. I think people respond well to goals, as it is a measurement of your success, and everyone wants to feel successful at something. Cant wait to hear where you go with this.

Setting daily profit goals is the worst idea you could have.
Goals in terms of hands/vpps can give some motivation and provide a feeling of accomplishment.
Goals in terms of $ are just gonna get you tilted and restrain your winnings.

"There was no such thing as a losing day, because I always had to hit my goal"

Seriously?

darace after you question my fashion taste you lose all credibility on these comments, my style is legendary to myself

thanks for the comment man, would love to have a few people to brainstorm ideas with, I will send you a message on here about it more. I'm planning on being a pretty open book in terms of ideas for the website and the direction im thinking about potentially going as it evolves, I'm sure I will get alot input from readers as well

thank you for all the quotes too

lol replies like darace made to what you said are funny, like he is the king of knowing which goals someone should set or how everyone in the world should dress. Setting no goals is much worse than setting daily profit goals, starting with a goal where you want to make a certain amount is a place to begin and re-evaluate your goals and ideas you have moving forward. I think for some people out there setting a profit goal daily will actually help them make more money, not restrict their potential winnings
