Hey, every time I make a goal, I give up after a day, enough is enough. The goals I set from now on are going to be set in stone, either I succeed or fail giving it my best shot. About me, I am a jobless 20 year old unemployed and not studying. I just quit my job as a croupier at the casino, Due to not enjoying it. I have some money saved and live at home free of charge. Ill be seeking a new job in the next few weeks or I might go back to studying, but for now, I am just going too focus on poker!

My main goal are the $2.50 180s and HU hyper turbos, I will also put in some MTT into the scheme. I struggle in putting in alot of volume, I get drained out very easy, So I find playing sessions of HU ST helps me keep focus due to the fast pace of the game. Im halfway through watching omgclaydol 180man seris on DC, He answers all of my questions and is very helpful, I recommend anyone interested in 180s too watch his seris!

I am a huge losing playing, specially in MTT, Due to playing over the past two years with no knowledge of the game, I'll say im down $3k or so in MTT and with cash games break even. But thats the past, so hopefuly that all turns around!

Ill be strictly playing just the $2.50 180s, $3.50 ST HU and perhaps some $7 HU.

Current roll stands at $521
It gives me just over 200 buy ins at the $2.50 180s and hopefuly thats enough!

I do have HEM, sng wiz, sub shark scope & DC sub so I hope this helps with my endeavor, I play from my laptop and my computer so my games wont be all together but Ill upload my graphs from shark scope as that will track all the games. Ill upload a graph once a week, but update on how each day went daily.

I play 4 tables when playing 180s due too I am still learning and dont see the point in mass tabling while learning and 1 table when playing HU.

look forward too updating with my progress,
Cheers!

Alright first day done, I am disappointed at how the day went, I dint quite do what I wanted to do. Waking up in the afternoon, I watch one episode of a 180s seris and only playing 12 $2.50 180s and not cashing in any. Due to being so lazy I dint play anymore. I played a few HU ST through out the afternoon and night.

HU ST -
$3.50 only played one game and won woo!
$7.00 19 games and won $45.10
$15 - 41 games and won $1.98

I played alot more $7 games on my main computer but im on my laptop atm so cant check how many games. I went right over my bankroll limits in playing the $7 and $15, Im not sure what went over me. With the $15 I ran below EV was down $75 at one stage but I dint stop and I grind'ed my way back to be even, No more $15s what so ever till my bankroll grows.

I may start playing the $7 now and leave out the $3.50, It is a risk for my bankroll but I will move down if needed.

My goals for tomorrow is too watch 2 seris of the 180s and put in a decent amount of volume in the 180s! I only play 4 tables tho so if I play 30 games for the day I will be happy. Also I want to do at least an hour of exercise!

My current bankroll stands at $573

Hopefully tomorrow goes well,
Cheers!

Day 2,
Still trying to get my **** together, I think I will write up a schedule, because I'm being way too lazy! So woke up again in the afternoon, I did 30min of cardio and ate healthy all day, so thats a postive!

Now as for poker went, I did not watch any videos or study, very disappointed in my self! I only played 2 hours of poker, that consisted of just ST HU games. I think I will just stick too these for now and get back into the 180s later on in the track. I played just 67 games. I have decided to go with the more aggressive bankroll approach and move down in stakes if needed. So there for I only played the $7 & $15's! I also joined a group for the ST on skype so hopefuly I will learn and contribute alot too that. For tomorrow I will write up a plan, so my day for even out and hopefuly cut out my lazying around.

$7 - 34 games - $8.60+
$15 - 33 games - $121+

Bankroll - $684

Sweet that you can criticize yourself, only then can you make progress. GL!

Cheers bambo,

Day 3
Okay today, There was **** all poker related activities accomplished! Woke up yet again late in the afternoon, Went to the shops, played soccer, than went out too the clubs and got pissed, I only put in a grand total of 23 ST in!
I played 2 $7 and 21 $15, profiting $50

Now I withdrew $200 =0
So my bankroll stands at $530

That means I will be playing strictly just the $7's!
Also I did purchase a HUSNG membership today, so lots of videos too watch.

A schedule needs too be wrote up tomorrow no if's and buts!
Also alot of exercise needs to be done since I have put so much weight on
For poker alot more volume needs to be put in and a better sleeping pattern, I average 12 - 15 hours of sleep a day, its just way too much!

Day 4,
Now same **** again, wake up in the afternoon, just addicted too sleeping I think, but no its because im going too bed at 4am - 5am every night, so hopefuly I can switch my body clock around due to working night shifts im just use too staying up all night. When I woke up, I had my HUSNG membership ready and I watched a total of one hyper video and hit the games. Also the skype group starting too grow which is exciting, alot of learning too be done!

No exercise was done today thats a big negative but I did eat healthy all day! For poker I manage too put my longest session in this week of 5 and half hours of grinding one hyper at a time! Today I had my first down swing, I knew it was comming sooner or later! Just got crushed at the $7 after losing 5 or so buy ins, I registered for a $25 hyper tourney, I do not know why I did that and obvs lost the $25 too add to my losings. But I got some fortunate luck and manage too finish the night up!

$3.50 - 7 games +$2.70
$7 - 46 games -$89.10 thats negative btw!
$15 - 47 games +$176
Total - $90

Bankroll - $600

It turned out good switching too the $15 half way through so im pleases with the outcome!

Thanks!

Day 5,
There was stuff all poker played but what the 21 games I did play for the day was terrible. I finally meet the other end of the EV line,
$7 - $107

Bankroll $470

A hand too some up my day,

Can you post some graphs?

Im curious to visually watch these swings - gonna be intense.

And gl gl with the challenge.

Day 6,

So tomorrow is Monday start of a brand new week! Tomorrow I will start getting serious with poker & life. I will be putting in 8 hour sessions every day not including weekends, hour + workouts everyday and a strict diet.

My bankroll stands at $550 and I will be playing the $7/$15 still.

Thanks!

Day 7 & 8
So day 7, I did not play any poker really! Just 3 games and lost all 3. It ended me down for $45. Day 8, Today I still did not put in the games I wanted too do, hopefuly each day I can work towards too putting in longer sessions, Just 66 games in finishing $98+. But due to playing some HU Omaha =P I lost $40 or so, now my bankroll stands at $555.

I want to fix some leaks, play no other games including tournaments! Just strictly super turbooooo's

Goals for tomorrow try too put in a longer session strictly supers!

Also keep up the diet+working out.

Cheers!

Love your posts, will follow !

Wow its been exactly one month since making this thread, Time really flys. After making this thread I did not proceed too follow it on how I planned too. My biggest downfall has been putting in volume and staying motivated. I can say laziness has really taken over me. Smoking weed everyday has thrown me off my game, making me not play to my full potential and also not putting in any real volume. Waking up the next day late in the afternoon feeling like **** all has too change. All I am doing is frying my brain and living a unhealthy lifestyle.

Now for the change, I finally found a course too study next year, I really hope I get accepted. My social life has gone down hill dramatically and the main reason for that is living so unhealthy, I am going too take exercise + diet alot more serious and hope too get my social skills back.

This spark for a change all came from a strange dream I had a few nights ago that has made me really want too get my life back on track. Now after reviewing HEM, I notice Ive only played 948 hypers since starting this challenge which averages out too be 31 games a day. My next monthly goal will be too double that too avg 60 games a day!

Here is my lifetime graph of the hypers from $1.50 - $15



I will update weekly, with a graph thats going up, hopefully ha!
Cheers!
