Bounty win:



Busy today and not too much to say, so no VLOG today sadly. I will post one after Sunday session. Sunday and Monday will be very hectic, because I'll be traveling from the early morning, so I hope I can catch at least couple hours of sleep, If not, let's hope I win something big. Hah.

DAY 19 VLOG:

DAY 19 of the $5k to $30k bankroll challenge

Today's topic:
- Congratulate yourself for handling the swings
- Be happy about the losses (helps mentally)
- Find happiness even in losses.

I felt like I should try something new today, so I made a video about certain topic.
"Find your success in poker"

https://youtu.be/Ut6yFDWk2xI

New type of video. I will explain how to find success in poker and how you can do it for yourself. You should use a few minutes to think about these things and maybe try new games or totally different way of playing.

Great thread, great videos. Keep it up. Love your mental game.

Would love to see a video of your setup running with 15 tables, even if you are not playing. Considering switching to the same type of monitor you are using but having trouble finding any videos of people using it online.

what kind of timeouts do you face playing so many stars turbos and hypers?

Thanks. Poker certainly teaches you about mental game. It improves through the years. I can't even remember how I was at first, probably terrible.

I think it's this monitor:

It's fantastic. Curved monitor is the best for playing. I wouldn't want to go back to normal one anymore.

I'm not 100% sure, If I understand the question, but are you asking how often I timeout? I guess it happens now and then, depending on how big decisions I have to make. Usually I timeout on decisions, which are not so important, so it's okay. It's all right to timeout on small decisions, which don't cost you much as long as you have time to make the big decisions.

BTW, playing today the special Sunday Mill for sure. I'm not going to count it on the challenge, obv.

Today I have a good feeling. For some reason I think the challenge might be over soon. Not sure why this is happening, because I am in the worst downswing of my challenge. Well, let's see.

Good luck. What do you mean it might be over soon? You gonna quit?

No, just a gut feeling, that I will have bigger win today. The biggest so far is $2,4k, which is nothing special from over 2200 tournaments.

yup glgl

DAY 20:

This was so close to being over..

Spent 2x $109 (warm-up and phase) and 3x $215 (mil), so made a small profit for the challenge yesterday, but what a day. So many close spots and in the end everything ended up at max. 5th place or whatever and last one finished 8th place, winner 11k€, so maybe second place is enough to finish this challenge. Started the FT-table second place or third, but it wasn't meant to be. BLAH.

Total spent on big tickets:

$863

Do you find yourself making many mistakes?

DAY 21:


Results:
+ whatever tickets I spent ($800 some)


Played very small sessio on Monday. I was very exhausted after 15,5 hour Sunday. Today taking a break and enjoying New Year.

Tons. There's no time to fix them now. I have realized 3 pages of mistakes/adjustments I would like to make and I will focus in the future. The point of poker is to make less mistakes than others, that's enough.

$5k to $30k challenge schedule:

1.1 Wednesday - Game day 22
2.1 Thursday - DAY OFF
3.1 Friday - Game day 23
4.1 Saturday - Game day 24
5.1 Sunday - Game day 25
6.1 Monday - Game day 26
7.1 Tuesday - DAY OFF
8.1 Wednesday - Game day 27
9.1 Thursday - DAY OFF
10.1 Friday - Game day 28
11.1 Saturday - Game day 29
12.1 Sunday - Game day 30

2399 tournaments played, so 1601 left from the 4000.

1601/9 game days, meaning 177,8 tournaments per day, so 178 tournaments a day. A tough challenge for sure. It will take me around 15 hours per day to play to finish the 4000 tournaments part. I hope in the same time I will finish the money goal. It's possible, but this will be a real challenge to finish.

Money goal we are behind $8254, but totally possible to do in 1601 tournaments, so no worries. As long as we have reasonable run and make around $5 a game, we should make it.

Happy NEW YEAR!

Why money goals suck?

- Adds stress
- We become fearful
- Losing hurts a lot
- Lose motivation
- Not going for the next step

cool thread. inspiring work ethic + great results.

had a question about your monitor. Do you have just the single ultrawide monitor? Or do you have a seperate monitor for lobbys? If it's just the single monitor you find it totally fine to have 12 tables up + open lobbys and reg? Thanks and glgl in 2020
