July Goals Thread

[danzasmack]

- 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"

[Bill Haywood]

-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.

7. With Bonii, see if I can have my first 5 figure month. Might be kinda cheating since there's an outside shot I'll clear the 200k VPP stepping bonus.

i was on pace for all of these. 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.

once. 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

[danzasmack]

why'd you want to quit though? what were you playing?

They play the same amount of hours that we do to get 40k+ hands? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
