September Challenge and Fundraiser for "Save the Children"
08-30-2014
, 02:57 AM
After giving it some thought i decided to challenge myself to see how far i can get with this, my motivation will be children refugees from Syria. Weare bombarded by news about violence in Syria day in and day out and i always wanted to devote some of my time to charity work and helping others in need . So i figured as this is the only way i can help why not make it challenging and push myself to the max, goal is to grind out minimal 4.5K to 6K games during the September which means i will have to average 150-200 games per day. Games that qualify for this will be mostly MTTs, 180 mans and multi table satellites.
I would do only MTTs but in all fairnes this is close to impossible as i cant get this much volume in even if i include all the sites i play on, this doesnt mean i wont try it i will reg all from 1$ to 300$ MTTs.
When i was grinding 180s only i could do up to 40 tables easy nowdays my maximum is 20 tables which i think is optimal especially as im gona be grinding mostly low to midstakes and those games dont require that much attention as high stakes for example. Also the goal is to make a profit from this aswell.
A bit more about fundraiser:
Syrian Children Refugee Crisis
5 million children need your help
Syria Refuees download
More than 5 million Syrian children are suffering as a result of a horrific conflict – one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time - which is now stretching into its third year. The children of Syria are a generation at risk of losing everything. They want and need to go to school. To be protected. To be comforted. These children need champions. These children need YOU to be their champion.
That’s why Save the Children, UNICEF, UNHCR, World Vision and other aid agencies have joined in calling for governments, NGOs and members of the public to become champions for the children of Syria and support efforts to protect a generation of Syrian children from a life of despair, diminished opportunities and broken futures.
But Altaf, pictured above, will not be lost. With your help, children like Altaf can get the supplies she needs to survive this crisis, get an education and learn to be a kid again. Save the Children has been distributing clothing, blankets and food, as well as offering education and emotional support programs.
For this to work i will need a lot support now that support doesnt have to be given in donations only as poker is not always the most profitable game and i understand that everyone is struggling in their own way , so whatever u think it can help wheather its your time in form of coaching or even grinding with me or anything you guys can think off to attract more donations in would be great.
For most of us poker has given a lot to us and i think this is just a small sacrifice to make for those who are in need thats atleast how i think of it as i hope no1 will ever experience terrifying things that war brings especially to the young ones.
This challenge is starting on September 1st and will last for 30 days , apart from grinding i will be donating 5 hours of coaching aswell that will be done in October, and as im curently in make up i cant do % of my profits but if i do make anything above 20K+ profit as thats my MU number i will donate 5% of all profits i make. This blog will be updated every day during this 30 day period with how im doing and with how much money did we managed to make
I understand some cant do any of the listed things that can help but i would like to ask u to spread this around to your freinds and everyone u think that can help.
Info for donations :
Direct donations to official Save the Children site - http://www.savethechildren.org/refugee/m1ghtyducks
For other form of donations via pokerstars transfers i think we would need to find someone who is reputable in community who can help out by escrowing and making the payment or whatever we can think off
Thank you all hope we can make a difference

First day of the challenge went ok altho i had problems with weather cos there was nasty storm and it lasted for couple of hours i lost power only once for 20 seconds or so, lucky for me i had my mobile internet and laptop on standby if this things happen. I wanted to get to atleast 150 games and decided not to risk and just call it a day.
Things went ok in the early part of the grind we got few FTs and loads of final 2 tables most noticable is 82 hyper which i ended in 9th place when 1st prize was 4.8K so that could have been nice bink to start the day but im happy either way.
Table count was at 25 most of the day early on i couldnt get enough tables so i loaded 180s aswell but after hot 33 started mtt volume was more than enough so i droped 180s and just focused on mtts.
Time for some stats:
Number of games : 150
Number of cashes : 28
Number of FTs : 4 MTTs and 1 180s
Profit : 637$
Charity money goal : 50.000$ (this was default goal that i picked i dont think we can raise anywhere near this but hey we dont know maybe some baller drops in and donates heaps or i bink wcoop main event would be sweet.)
Money raised : 120$ ( this looks maybe a bit low but a lot of ppl promised to donate if i make my goal of hitting atleast 4.5K so no worries there)
Todays goal is going for 150 to 200 games aswell i hope weather will be ok and i can keep doing it .
Also on a side note as im going to be playing everyday for 12 hours minimal i started going to Crossfit 4 times per week , i started this a month ago and lost like 6KG with my changed diet and new gained focus i just dont see how can i fail this challenge haha.
Thats it for today talk to you all tomorow and fwiw i will be doing updates every day during this glgl me.

What an uneventful day yesterday started grind and for some reason my postgres decided to crash so now i have to delete everything and install all again from the scratch lucky for me i made a backup few days ago so that will ease a bit of pain. As i was playing without HUD all my session i played terrible cos lets face it u cant play good without hud that many tables i had no reads so i ended 3b spots that i shouldn’t have or bluffing into complete nitt and that costed me a lot of equity in the end. Also i wasn’t running that good either , this will sound strange i know cos i managed to chop 82 hyper for 3.6K i think but i have been coolered few times on that FT luckily for me i did play good on that FT and on FT bubble so i managed to get me a nice stack so i can take some hits. Same as the day before i had lots of final 2 tables finishes including Benjamin and 55$ 7.5K gtd on stars being most noticeable , Benjamin i lost with JJ vs 88 for huge CL and busted few hands later with AK vs 55 i bink A on the turn and he rivers 5 for top 3 stack to finish 11th i think, and 55$ i str8 up screwed myself what a dumb play that was again im useless without hud so whatever.
I can already feel this is taking a toll on me and i feel exhausted especially mentally so i have to say huge respect for guys like ismo<3seppo who are grinding each day to win TLB i know it will be worth it by the end of the year but this is such a huge emotional strain i just couldnt do it myself.
Number of games : 163
Number of cashes : 22
Number of FTs : 2 MTTs and 2 180s
Profit : 971$
Profit from the start of Challenge : 1.608$
Charity money goal : 50.000$
Money raised : 120$
Just to post few of my favorite videos that i watch constantly when i feel im going down i will be posting videos and some quotes aswell each day .
Thats it for day #2 onto day #3 after i fix my postgress glgl to every1 wcoop is near.

On serius note i didnt like my attitude in thes kind of tourneys cos i need to treat all of them equally and not just disrespect everyone at the table by assuming no1 is good enough so thats something i will be changing. I had few nice sweats with in 109$ and 33r where i finished 7th and 8th those tournies could have turn everything around in my favor but it is what it is no point in crying over spilled milk got to keep my chin up and keep trucking. So far every single session i ended in rly bad moode like rly bad and just asking myself will i be able to do it but after good night sleep and gym in the morning im ready to conquer the world again morning is wiser than evening i can tell u that.
Also im getting huge support from my family to do this and when i get down during session there is always someone there to cheer me up and keep me registering trough cos frankly this wouldnt be possible without them so huge thank you to my family also to all of those who messeged me thank you all.
Gona keep this shorter as i need to prep for session.

Number of cashes : 20
Number of FTs : 6 MTTs and 3 180s
Number of FTs from the start of the challenge : 12 this is just MTTs im not gonna count 180s

Day #4
I avoided disaster yesterday 1 hour into my session brother called me that there wont be power for 1 hour cos something was wrong and electric company had to turn the power off to fix it so that was huge heads up as i was already playing 20 tables and had registered all my session in advance so i dodged that one haha. Poker wise day went pretty well i lost few rly big hands in some of my biggest tournies that had rly cool 1st place prize but i wont stress about it as long as im wining i guess. I binked HOT 3$ which was wow as i usually dont reg anything at this buy in level but thanks to this challenge i can brag about binking that one aswell , now i have rly decent collection of hots won so far and those are hot 3,4,11,33,75 came close in hot 55 and hot 109 i finished those 2 in 2nd sigh.
Training in the gym is rly proggresing fast for example in my first session i could only do 1 if u could call it that push up and now im doing 13 which is amazing cos i didnt excercise for 10 years give or take also i couldnt do any chin ups and now im doing 16.
All in all im rly happy how everything is going i hope it will continue especially during wcoop as there are some rly loooooong sessions ahead of me.

Day #5
I just love how everyone is saying how poker is dead and everyone is solid not true in both regards there is more than enough fishes out there for all of us and u could even include some regs in this haha myself included. Yesterday was meh i guess that word sums it all up i think i will need to lower my table count and play longer hours if that’s even possible cos my stats are dropping so fast and i don’t like playing nitty but there is nothing i could do when im playing huge amount of tables so i will load bunch of 180s at the start to get my table count and stop them when im able to fill the gaps with mtts and will start loading them back up at the end of my session so i don’t end up 1 tabling stuff for hours.
I had one hand yesterday that got me rly upset but if u think logical that doesnt make any sense to be upset over something that u want ur oponent to do just sucks when he wins with his marginal holdings especially when that happens in top of my buy in range

Day #6
And i finished day #6 going into end of the first week of the challenge and the first day of WCOOP wooooooo, morale is high confidence is getting there so hope we can make something good out of these series cos i do run like baby God in these events as most of my biggest binks are coming from COOP events 1st in scoop for 90K, 4th in wcoop for 50K and 2nd in wcoop 2nd chance for 30K. Lets hope this tradition will continue going into this series as my sessions will be rly long, so far in challenge i was doing 12 hour sessions each day now with slower structures i wouldnt be surprised if it goes for 20h. Last wcoop when i finished 4th i made it to day 2 couple of times and the tricky part was it was back to back MTTs so i didn't sleep for more than 48 hours which resulted in me falling a sleep in the middle of my deep run when there was 13-14 ppl left i fell a sleep for 20 minutes luckily my brother was railing and he noticed something is up so he ran to my place to wake me up this is true story and i def wanna repeat it but without falling to sleep part haha.
Ok so i decided to go for 3 leader-boards for this month those are monthly TLB (12th at the moment) , Monthly PLB on pocketfives (25th at the moment) , and last wcoop leader board this last one is a long shot cos for u to have a shot in this u will have to play almost all events and i suck at everything except NLHE (i suck little bit not much in nlhe) so it is def gonna be fun sweat during whole series. Yesterday was most frustrating day so far cos i had ton off deep runs but as usual i lost big pots at the end , i wont stress about it that much cos when u look at it may daily buyins are 4.000$ so u have to bink 4K worth of mtts just to break even and i will repeat what i said once any winning / breakeven day is better than losing day so weeeee.
Actually i will make list of goals for this month so it would be fun to track non of those are monetary so it will all depend on me and my work ethic rather on my luck
September Challenge Goals :
Monthly PLB : make it to top 10
Pocketfives worldwide rankings : Make it to top 200 (curently 429th)
Pokerstars monthly TLB : Make it to top 10
WCOOP leader board : Top 10
Pocketfives 1 million Badge : Need 82.150$ for it
Pokerstars Supernova : Need 14.500 VPPs
I think that's it for now maybe i think of something else i mean if ur gonna do it why not go big while ur doing it right.
Ok and now for yesterdays stats :
Number of games : 139 , Number of games since start : 857
Number of cashes : 21
Number of FTs : 4 MTT + 4 180 , Number of FTs from the start : 22
Profit : -11$ , Profit from the start : +278$
Charity money goal : 50.000$ , Money raised : 170$

Day #7
Im a bit late with this post as i just came home from doctors cos i passed out for few seconds this morning after i got home from gym, reason for that is exhaustion basically doctor ordered me to take some rest but don't think that's an option atm. I have been forcing it a lot i think and i got to the point where my body just said stop, last 2 days i got like 5-6 hours of sleep total and to describe to you guys how my day usually looks now.
7 am wake up and take kids to day care thats 1 hour or so
8 am grocery shoping 1 hour
9 am gym time till 11 am
11 am to 12 get launch talk to my wife ( if she doesnt divorce me by the end of this she never will this is literally what we spend together 1 hour with wife and 1 hour with kids while driving them to daycare)
12.30 start registering till 21.00 after this i stop reging and just playing out what i have usually im done by 1 am
Thats roughly it and last 2 days i had some deep runs that didn't end up good obv so this Sunday i played till 4.30 am and had to wake up at 6.30 to drive kids and obv this all pilled up and my body just gave up. Coach was a bit worried aswell cos i barely made it trough our gym session i couldnt even do one push up i just failed.
I dont know obv this will not work out as i planned so i decided to still play every day during september i will just lower table count and try not to stress about this obv this way i will not be able to hit my target amount of mtts that i wanted but i will keep this challenge going till i hit 6K games and everything that i make past 20K profit i will donate 5% as i promised. Feeling rly sad atm but i have to aproach this from logical point of view and realize that im not doing any1 a favor by beating myself to the ground with this, i will still try to make it to set goal but thats a long shot now and i understand everyone who will not donate if i dont make it no1 is obligated to do it. Maybe i wont reach my target goal but this doesnt make this a less sacrifice cos my schedule will almost be the same as i will be playing almost same hours this just means that my table count will be lower which will result in far less mtts played.
Here are incomplete stats from yesterday cos im missing around 5-10 mtts that i played that are 2 day event on stars and winamax.
Number of games : 140 , Number of games since start : 997
Number of cashes : 20
Number of FTs : 0 MTT + 2 180 , Number of FTs from the start : 22
Profit : -3.094$ , Profit from the start : -2.816$
Charity money goal : 50.000$ , Money raised : 170$
This is it for today im going to bed to take 1 hour nap before i start playing glgl everyone.

Imho, you're doing to much as far as fitness goes. Crossfit is all about pushing yourself to the limits but the more you push to become stronger/faster, more you sacrifice healthier and well being in general. Unless you're enjoying it than it's cool but if you're doing mainly for health reasons then thats not the way to do it (imho again). Atheletes for sho strive to improve performance but us, regular Joes (no offence 
) will feel best when exercises targets mood improvements, steady energy through day and focus. After all we want to feel good over performing good.
Sorry for long rant where I am likely might be wrong but if you would find its reasonable then take a look at Marks Daily Apple website. It has great suggestions what and how much to do to as far as movement goes.
Goodluck!

Yesterday was one of the weirdest days of my life lol first all that overworking stuff that coused me to crash and after that my stars client stoped working at the start of my session and somehow i switched to my mobile app to play out the res and most frustrating thing about it was i got deep in 265ko which had 10K+ for 1st place and i was CL at one point with 35 ppl left so my session upside down.
Positive thing about it was after i busted i decided to make BBQ for my family and enjoy the rest of the day nice pic of the grill for obv reasons haha
After dinner i drank like 2 glasses of wine and after it went to sleep early slept like a baby from 9 pm to 7 am boy did that feel so good i cant even describe it , woke up feeling like i could do anything so refreshed .
Went to gym and i just crushed it today coach was amazed , and now im ready to take on this challenge and crush it aswell the only thing i will be changing is 1 day off during week and i moved my gym time a bit earlier so i have 3 hours of sleep time when i get home , after i get up grab some launch and start grinding. Finding the right schedule is so hard at the time but when u tweek it just right it will do wonders for u, im gona post one of my favorite quotes.
"We choose to go to the moon.not because it is easy, but because it is hard, because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

And i will finish this post with this and do proper one tomorown including stats and all glgl all today also for all of u who are interested im selling peices to 1K tonight if u wanna get some here is the link

Thank you mate 
Day #9
So yesterday was kind a lame i was excited to play 1K and i did good at the start but i was card dead whole tourney which kind of sucked cos u cant just open any 2 cards in stacked field like this i tried 2 times got snap 3bet even though i was super nitty had a drooler on my table who was playing 65/3 over 80 hand sample and i tried to play couple pots with him but men on my every bet he just made pot bet back so nothing i could do tbh. Also i had rly tough table lineup on both my tables below is pic with lineup the guy that i was talking about is SBO.13 to bad we couldnt get him and just to mention all of those regs who did try to get him ended up on the rail not only he did some terrible stuff but he was lucky aswell.
Here is example of one of his briliant moves http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...073_B456C7021E
As for volume i didnt play many tables cos of the 1K and i did manage to get some deep runs in Big 109 think i got around 30th place dont remember , i lost top 5 stack pot with AK v 88 to bust soon after and got 20th something in 25 hyper losing AQ v 66 flop came Q6x i think i need to get coaching on how to win flips etc cant seem to get that part yet.
Anyway here are stats:
Number of games : 45 , Number of games since start : 1.068
Number of cashes : 6
Number of FTs : 0 MTT + 0 180 , Number of FTs from the start : 22
Profit : -708$ , Profit from the start : -3.524$
Charity money goal : 50.000$ , Money raised : 170$

Big grind day today no wcoops so gona grind hard smaller games etc glgl everyone.
