October Goals Update 24.10.2013

Goal 1 - Play 70 Hours Total In October
Played 60.4 hours (86.3%). Month is 79.0% old. TKD training last night lost some time but still ahead. Should be close (weekend away).


Goal 2 - Get 10 Reviews/Sweats In October
Done 8/10. This is ok but with only 4 more playing evenings available it is also getting a worry!


Goal 3 - Do Thorough Review Of Part 2 Of Coaching
Done 72mins of 95 mins = 76%. Damn, just fallen behind on this one. I am a little angry as I could have maybe done some of this last night after training. I was serioulsy pooped though so maybe would have been wasted.

Greetings old friend! Hope your world is good? I will take that as a compliment (on the basis that you usually are kind rather than troll!!) so thank you mate.

Cheeky kids....

Do you play Zoom sometimes? is your s/n outed?

Hi mate. No, never and no, I don't think so!

Infinite amounts of respect sir. Wish I had the natural ability to work that hard.

Subbbed.

is this a level?

I doubt it is a level Deeepz. I think I get what mmwhops is saying.

For sure some people have a natural tendency to work harder (or be lazy) than others. Maybe some is genetic and some is how we have been brought up in the world. In fact, if the truth be know, I used to be a lazy person, terrible in fact!!

One thing that is for sure though is that we all have hard work inside us, its just finding out how to go about it, knowing why you want to do it.

SUCCESS IS ACHIEVABLE FOR EVERYBODY.

From what I understand the dude wakes up at 4 am and goes to bed at like 11. I can see only 1 hour of clear R&R in his schedule, so no this wasn't a level. Just because he doesn't dedicate all his time to poker we shouldn't be calling him a slacker.

Obv I would never ever pursue poker if I had his life. I'd make my money at my job and just chill with the kids and wife after.

I do nothing all day, click buttons for like 3 to 4 hours and do 1 or 2 hours of database analysis. If pornhub is bad that day I might start a training video, but other than that I just get hammered or take naps. So for me it's quite easy to look at a 20k hands month quota and say "lulllzzz ur not working hard". But that's not how it works now is it?

What's your Sn on stars?

That's why I thought it was a level since OP stated in previous posts that it has nothing to do with natural ability and all that

+1 I appreciate the help you provide in the micro forums!

Yeah, I saw where you were coming from mate, hope I helped clear it up too.

Nice post, thanks for nice comments. I used to be like that too (not poker bit though). No, you are right, that's not how it works! I think I found this out just in time!!

Why do you ask? Being a bit of a noob I am not sure whether it is the done thing to out your SN.

Played a bunch of 10NL in the past. Want to see if I crushed you and how hard.

u tellin me the kush make u think on level 4? I'm on 5, you sayin that I can level more?

Ah well missed that part, and totally disagree with it. But let's not hijack this thread and go into that

Always makes it easier if you blame it on being a natural ability.

We are getting a little off track here, let me please try to clear up what my opinion is as it is getting distorted....

I did not say it has nothing to do with natural ability as you can see in this post. I am saying that some people are brought up to work harder than others and maybe some is genetic.

I do not, however, believe that lazy people cannot learn to become hard workers. I am living proof of this. It is not easy .

Right then amigos!! I am going away for a couple of days with my wife! Can't work all the time eh!!?

Keep working dudes!

Weekly Progress Update 28.10.2013

Bankroll: $697.99 (+$32.42)


Graph for week



Comments: Improving all the time. Trying to keep things simple but I am also trying to use position more (calling BTN v CO to float, set mining versus strong ranges etc). I think I have folded in marginal spots lately better than I used to, especially if readless.

Goals
All going well. I cannot recommend setting these types of goals strongly enough. Might struggle with sweats goal as the month closes but still hopeful of completing all goals.

October Goals Update 28.10.2013

Goal 1 - Play 70 Hours Total In October
Played 64.1 hours (91.6%). Month is 91.9% old. Wow! Well I went away for the weekend with my wife and this one caught up on me! Good job I was well ahead before I went! Should not be an issue to complete this goal though, would take something serious to stop me!


Goal 2 - Get 10 Reviews/Sweats In October
Done 8/10. Getting close to a fail!!! I have got three evenings available this week in which to get two sweats. Hopefully some of my poker buddies will help me out!?!?!?


Goal 3 - Do Thorough Review Of Part 2 Of Coaching
Done 72mins of 95 mins = 76%. No further progress. Disaster! This will be the goal that I put to the back of the queue. It can still be done quite easily. I will get up super early (earlier than 04.30!?!?!?) to get the playing hours in so that I can complete this goal too.
