- 30k hands of hold'em
- 10k hands O8 - finish resume - apply for part time math of finance prog. at NYU - 20 trips to the gym If i do 3 of these it's a good month. If i do all 5 i'll probably kill myself, this way i can go out on top. I work a little over 40hrs a week so you can throw in "not hate myself at work" |

-Concentrate on every hand.
-Remember all the action well enough to use it on the river. -Watch hands I'm not in and guess what people have. -End self abuse, save it for the wife. |

Stop making 'curiosity' calls when I know I'm beaten on river in big pots. [/ QUOTE ] probably not [ QUOTE ] 4. US PT to help me clean up preflop a bit - figure out where to play such hands as a7o, KTo and Q9s. [/ QUOTE ] Old laptop exploding, taking DB with it made this unpossible. [ QUOTE ] 5. Value bet the river. [/ QUOTE ] Check [ QUOTE ] 6. At least 50k hands. [/ QUOTE ] ~ 80k [ QUOTE ] 7. With Bonii, see if I can have my first 5 figure month.

Then like 10 days and 15k hands into the month i just said "bleh" and stopped playing. haven't played since. Resume is out and has me waiting on grad school for now. gym was a no go. i sprained my ankle BAD (swelled up so big that my toes went blue and if i bent it the skin would like rip. it was disgusting to look at) so i couldn't walk around. today will be 1st day back at gym. Work has been good but as mentioned i am looking for something new (change industries). How often do you guys just want to like quit poker? I was running good and everything (at like 3bb/100 over that stretch at the month's start). I've had the whole "[censored] this - this game is too stressful and so frustrating NO MORE" thing but now i'm past that and at the like "bleh what a boring game" kinda thing. |

I switched games for a while and came back fresh. try playing less? playing a ton of poker can burn you out for sure. I don't know how the NL grinders that put 100k+ hands in can do it |
