calling the month a week early since fifa is out
september:
Didn't hit volume goals but did study heaps. Ran a few buy ins above ev this month which is insane considering how ******ed last month was. However, lost basically all the big 1k+ pots which is annoying. Also had some consistency issues in my level of play. However, I did learn a few valuable lessons. Namely:
- I need to work much much harder than what I am doing now.
- I am not as good as I think I am
- Winners tilt/superstition/excuses have very negative effects
- No good player goes on consistent 10+ buy in downswings as regularly as I do on this website, not to mention the 30+ buy in downswings I've had.
- I am relatively new to the online game. I don't need to rush things, but I definitely need to pick it up and stop wasting time.
As for my sept goals:
> [] 50k hands zone
Not sure how close I would've got if I grinded hard the last week which was the plan but still fell very short
> [x] gym/diet/sleep solidified
Very very happy with this
> [x] 3 days/wk grind
> [x] 3 days/wk study + light grind + chill
didn't really follow these 2 as tightly as could be but i definitely played 6 days a week and definitely studied at least 3 days a week
> [] 1 day/wk no poker
some weeks yes, some weeks no
> [] play 1 live session
> [] hit challenger on LoL
lol not even close. i realised it would actually take me like 50+ games just to get back to challenger level, let alone climb the actual ranks
> [x] be nicer/don't let results affect how I treat people around me
> [] catch up with friends I have been avoiding or haven't seen in a while
