Hello everyone,

I'm new to 2p2 and this is my first post.

Background :

1.I'm a weekend live NLH tournament player ,never played online.
2. cashed in my first WSOP main event 2013 and few other single day live tournaments in sf bay area between 2011-13
3. Do not understand any other forms of poker other than No limit holdem, played very few 1-3, 2-5nl cash games, can count on fingers.

When i cashed big in a tounament in jan'13 , decided to play wsop main event 2013.Never survived past day 1 in multi day tournament hence set following goals which helped me survive until day 4 of main event

1. hire a fitness trainer and work out 3 days a week
2. Play a tournament once a month until june and take a break for month before main event
3. pay attention to what i eat and how i use the breaks wisely during a tournament so that im fresh for next session of tournament play
4. re-focus and apply lessons of tournament play i learned during my live play between 2011-13.


Above were high level goals which helped me cash on day 4 before i bust

It is october and i want to start planning for wsop main event 2014.This time around i want help of wise men/woman on this forum to help me develop a schedule for methodical/focused preparation for main even '14.

Goal : finish in top hundred at wsop main event 2014

Please share you experience in terms of daily/monthly scheduling in preparation of major live tournaments.

Appreciate your time and advice

Thanks!
