Sup 2p2 peeps!

Wanted to start up a challenge for myself to finish off this year strong and enter 2016 a higher caliber player than I was in the past.

A bit about me:

Born and raised in California, 37 year old married dude. Poker grinder the past 10+ years. Currently working full time but looking to scale back and go part-time.

Being coached and staked to play Mtts on ACR and Carbon. Current wpn stake roll is at $1400, so I take shots at $33 and grind the 22s and below. Current Carbon roll is at $1500 with the same ideas as wpn.

This thread is going to stop at the end of December and a new one will start up in January.

Several goals to complete by the end of December:

Poker Goals:

Finish in the top 3 in the P5's California ranking, currently in 6th.

Bink a $5k+ score #letsgooo!

Have a $10k+ month #doubleletsgooo!!

(To be fair, monetary goals are nice to set but not going to be bummed if I don't get it just as long as I feel my game is significantly improving.)

Increase the stake roll so I am able to grind the $33s on the regular and take shots at the $109s.

HHs self reviews 3-5x per week and also with Coach.

Setup a consistent grind schedule.


Life goals:

Hit the gym 3-5x per week like I used to do.

Lose 10lbs of weight.

Set aside at least a half/day with wifey per week for "date time".

Re-establish family and friends relationships.

Transition into a part-time job.

Will try to update this thread daily with hands and updates. Always appreciative of suggestions, advice and strategies.


Thanks for checking out my thread and #lettuce finish this year STRONG!!

Yesterday was interesting as I was supposed to attend a birthday dinner but it got cancelled so I did a smallish grind sesh last night. Below is the games for WPN and
Merge: (if you see double the buyin, it just means I re-entered)

WPN

$500k 50 seats $33.00
$6k $33.00
$3k mega $22.00 $22.00
$500k 15 seats $22.00 $22.00
$1.5k 6max $22.00 $22.00
$1.5k mega $11.00

Made profit on WPN to the tune of $117 courtesy of a $500k seat won for cash value
and a small mincash in the $6k for $56 30th/249

Merge:

$10k $33.00 $33.00
$3k $33.00

Bricked the two merge mtts and called that site a wrap for the night.

Gonna do a weekly update on the roll amounts versus a daily update.

Today was a very nice relaxing morning/afternoon. Had breakfast with the wifey at CoCo's and did various errands. Headed to Gold's Gym after that and threw some weights around.

Ah, I forgot to mention my current weight, which is at 189 lbs. So, looking to drop 10lbs of weight and maintain that level or lower through December.

Just finished some HH tagged hand reviews and about to fire up the Sat grind.

GLGL us and let's make some noise!

Man, super tired from a long long grind today. Saturday was break even poker wise.

Today's sesh was pretty heavy in volume per Sunday usual. Not much traction in the $500k and busted that one well short of the money.

Daysaver was in the form of the 3rd place showing in the $15k. From that It brought me up around $1k for the day which is not bad but always disappointed when not taking 1st place of course 😁

Going to be reviewing that hh with my coach as there was some interesting icm spots I wanted to go over.

Did do a quick workout arms and shoulders and feel great that I am keeping the workouts more consistent. Will do a weight update tomorrow.

Got a lot of things to get done this week, so time to get my zzz's in.

Monday was a decent sesh, ended up getting deep in the $3k mega stack and took 2nd for $420.

Immediately went to Golds Gym and did a quick back and biceps workout as I arrived there at 11 and it closes at 12.

Feeling pretty good about my workout consistency and looking forward to maintaining these results. As I'm going to weigh myself once a week, the weigh in day will be Monday.

My weight for Monday morning's weigh in was 189 pounds.

Look forward to incorporating basketball into my workouts.

Today's grind sesh was very low volume as I'm feeling very fatigue.

Going to go to bed early tonight so I can prepare and be rested for tomorrow's grind in the evening.
I would really like to satellite into the $25K that runs on Wednesdays which is $109 buy in.

Subbed!

Thanks bud!

Will try to be as consistent in posting like how you do in your pgc thread 😁

Didn't really do much wed after work. Was trying to get a half day so I could enter the $25k sattys but since I wasn't able to it was gg $25k.

Played a few mtts on merge and wpn but no real traction to be had save for the min cash in the 3k mega.

Still felt sluggish and tired so called it a wrap early and went to bed.

Going to see if I'm able to get a half day today, that way I can hit the gym, go over to the tax preparer license class and register for it and of course grind it up 😎

Will do a post prolly today of an interesting hand I played last night and also an update on the bankrolls.
