November was a success by some measures, but no where near how I would have liked. I actually feel pretty poor about the month looking back on it. I played about 80k hands of cash, some MTTs, my main partner at Pocarr was gone for the month and I ran that, was a good father. My computer died and I had to get a new one which set me back a bit. But mostly I'm just hearing excuses. I did okay, but that's just not good enough. I'm almost 26 and that's getting close to 30. This is embarrassing.

I had a goal sheet with 2 investors and a backee at Pocarr and I did the worst of all of them. I'm not sure what to attribute it to. Maybe I put too much on my plate, or maybe I'm just a lazy ****. I don't know.



I lost $40 at the tables and should have lost about $800. I feel pretty good climbing out of a -$5k hole, but again I'm just hearing excuses. I didn't meet my volume or study goals, period.

How'd I do quantitatively in November?

[ ] 100k hands of 6-max cash at 100nl+ - nope, too lazy, played 76k
[ ] 250 MTTs - don't be ridiculous, played 32
[ ] 25 training videos watched w/ notes - I probably watched 25, but with notes, a mere 8 obv
[X] 15 quality training videos made - 19
[ ] 3 ACV+16.9oz waters/day - I did this 2 ****ing times
[ ] Oil pull daily - 6 times
[ ] IF daily - did pretty well with this actually, but not perfect
[ ] Drink a breakfast essentials, take a multi-vitamin, and run daily - lol, no
[ ] 5 quality posts/day on Pocarr - I'd go on binges of posting 20 times then not at all, but 5/day...nope

As you can see, I really crushed this month just like I told you I would.

I'm just gonna get up and try again this month. We have added some penalties to our goal sheet this month: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...lE&usp=sharing

I'll hand out some freerolls this month too. You can pick a goal (assuming no one else has) and if I don't complete it I'll give you $100. I'd tell you not to post because you have no chance, but I'm probably a dog in all of them.

Goals for December:
[ ] 100k hands of 6-max cash at 100nl+
[ ] 200 MTTs
[ ] 25 training videos watched w/ notes
[ ] 15 quality training videos made
[ ] 3 ACV+16.9oz waters/day
[ ] Oil pull daily

I'm actually doing pretty good this month. I played 2 MTT sessions already and have 6 items I haven't missed a single day on.

I went on a video making binge and have made 8 already this month. I'm really enjoying poker atm and feel like I've made incredible strides the past 1.5 years upon reflection. Reopening Pocarr in June 2012 was a decent business decision, but for my poker game was probably the best decision I could have made.

I've been mostly messing around with CREV and just been doing sims of hands I'm lost on. I mark hands in-game where I don't know if I need to be calling or if I should be putting certain hands in different parts of my range. The only bad part is I can spend 2 hours on one hand which is clearly not very efficient. I'm sure there's some tipping point where I would get more out of doing something else. I'm guessing that point is at about 30 minutes.

Pocarr wise we have a few guys who just aren't playing which is always a problem. Our newer contracts have a minimum games per month to help with this, but our older contracts do not. I'm not sure what we can do about it really.

Think the river bluff you pulled with AdQx is prob -ev, since I think you're not perceived to xback many fd's on the flop.
