Since I arrived in Vancouver about 2 weeks ago I've been pretty lazy (30hrs/week) so I decided to post something on my Facebook that if I dont play 240 hours over the next month 8/24-9/22 then I would ship 10 people who commented $150. Everytime I have done something like this in the past it has helped out alot. Since I do not want to ship out $1500 I will probably have to play the hours. If all the days go like today then it will be pretty easy to hit the hours. If i want to try to get SNE again this year I will need to put these hours in anyway.

I played my first session at NL Full Ring playing the 40bb stack. These types of players have been annoying me during my fr sessions lately so I want to play a bit of it myself and see what works/what doesn't work. Plus its pretty easy to grind mindlessly playing 12/11 with a lowish 3bet percent to get in hands/hours. Not really sure how profitable this can be, I think there are a few slight winners that 40bb stack but I'm sure a majority are down at the tables. I even loaded up some 6m Cap tables and played that but wanted to pull out my hair after 30 mins of it so quit a 6m cap game winner. My next few sessions were at NL100 6m where I probably played about 4-10 tables during the session, not going over 10 for more then a few minutes. Not much of a surprise to anyone that this is an easier way to be profitable at the tables while taking a hit in the vpp/fpp department.

I was going to call it a night but decided to play a PLO session after rereading my main go to book for PLO when I feel like I'm playing like an idiot. I'm sure my biggest problem is that I play way to many fucking tables so like my NL sessions I decided to limit it to 8 tables max so I ended up playing 4-8 tables for about an hour and a half. Tried to focus on NOT reraising marginal AAxx hands OOP and in general not get all the money in on the flop in "coin flip" spots. Usually when I play I'm always trying to shovel as much money in as possible with any piece and typically end up getting my money in with 20-30% equity, losing a bunch of those, then wondering why I am under EV. Manages to get it all in 8 times out of 785 hands and was better then 56% on 6 of those hands. Not surprising that I ended up 8.5 buyins playing a little more controlled style.

I'm sure tomorrow I will play like a fucking moron and lose 20BI but today I will go to sleep happy, should be a fun next month. Got in 8.58 hours for Day 1

Biggest pot of the day

good job 1st day starting well is key

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

how are you going to get SNE playing only ~8-10 tables at n100?

I dont know what a dt drop is. Is it a wrestling move? -Oly

Why not just grind 4-8 tables 3-5h/day 5day per week? I feel this is going to end in you burning out, leading to spewing and losing money
+ giving away 1,5k.

Do you get bored super fast when you're not going for some extreme goal + pushing yourself super hard or something?
Just seems extremely -EV and I don't see how you can evolve much as a player either when playing so much everyday. (At least I couldn't).

It's entertaining to read about and all, will be following your updates, gl and hope you make it.

I do get bored extremely fast, I think thats my biggest leak when it comes to playing less tables. Always want to play more tables, more hands, more hours, more points
