Yuck. Was friends going away party on wed and also my parents asked if they could store something in my garage which meant I had to clean that up which ended up taking about 2 hours during the middle of my session. Things just aren't going well for volume this month. I am running pretty well, mainly up on EV though. All in all if I was being results oriented I could be happy with this month, but overall I am pretty disappointed so far. Sat/Sun/Mon will be pretty busy as well for me so hopefully can get some time in today and tmrw morn.

Just sort of withdraw as needed. I do have a lot of expenses, but gf has recently started making a bit more money with another pay raise coming in sept and the dollar is doing worse here (which is good for me) by a fair bit, so hopefully that can offset some of it and I can start taking some shots in the next couple months.

Thx man, best of luck to you too!

Wasn't a great day on Friday. Wanted to get a bit more time in also but didn't. Basically, whole week was absolute crap for volume. In my defense I was wayyy busier than I thought I would be and think I could have topped out at like 15 hours...but that still would have been a lot better than what I did (which was like 6). Hopefully this week is a bit better, will do my weekly review and goals later tonight after playing.

Well, not a full day but at least I got some in. I have been sliding pretty bad but I am getting an early night and trying to get back into some long hours tomorrow. February is a big write-off for my volume goals, but I would like to build some mental stamina so I can hit the ground running in March. 3 days left in February so I'm hoping to make the best of it. 2 goals I haven't been using that really help me out are to start playing within 1 hour of waking, and getting to bed at a decent hour. If I don't have a specific goal I usually start about 2 hours after I wake up, but don't really get anything done in that extra hour.

Gross, so much red. As I've said before I was pretty lazy, but also had a bunch of unexpected days where there was no way I could get stuff done. I think I could have maxed out around 15 hours this week which still would have been a lot better. I'm not sure if I am going to finish my linear algebra class, I might take it next semester instead. I have a lot to catch up on but I think my priority should be getting hours in this week. If I can get a bunch done on Sunday I might stick with it. Glad to get this post done, it's a bit late since it's not fun to go through a review of such a fail week All caught up now, time to get it.

Ugh just running so ****ty all month which isn't helping the volume situation. Got up early and started early which was good. Had to take a couple tilt breaks though including this one which is the end of the day. Amazing the number of 2-3 outers against me this month in 3bet pots (pre allin, since Im doing ok EV wise). Will try again tomorrow. I'm changing my go to sleep by 10.30 goals to wake up by 7am since it's pretty much the same thing but that way I can finish my goal review at the end of the day.

Pretty crappy day again, accumulated tilt is starting to build up and I had to quit for the day after I lost 3bi in ~10 minutes including two horrible beats. I feel like I am playing pretty well though, been studying a lot and pulling the trigger on some plays I don't normally make even though I know they are correct. Hopefully weekend can turn things around although I'm a bit busy as it's my gf's birthday and we have plans for Fri/Sat/Sun. Hopefully my new early morning schedule can allow me to get some decent time in.

Another gross week, hopefully back to it in March. Ran pretty bad, mainly as I mentioned just a bunch of 2 or 3 outers on the turn/river vs my strong flop hands. Will write a bit more in my monthly review which is coming up after this.

Well, pretty crappy month in terms of results (considering I ran fairly far over EV) and especially volume. Also definitely took a step back in terms of my mental game goals. I was definitely a lot busier than I thought I would be this month with real life stuff, but I still definitely could have gotten at the very least prob 20k hands more in. The one positive was I did a lot more studying this month and feel like my game has improved. This has also, ironically, led to more tilt though. I am def seeing more mistake tilt, since I feel like I shouldn't be making mistakes when working so hard on my game. This is actually probably the opposite of what happens, since I am learning so many things that aren't at the level of Unconscious Competence yet. I need to keep this in mind in March and also continue to drill the concepts into my core game. I also need to probably be rereading my notes on Mental Game of Poker and make that a priority again. I miss the proud feeling of going through a bad day but still achieving all of my mental game goals.

Similar to my February goals. I was 5/7 in Jan and 2/8 in February, so hopefully I can up that to at least 6/7 in March...hopefully 7/7. As always, volume goal is the most important one...which I need to keep in mind.

just want to give you props for your work ethic! You will get there, wherever it is you want to be if you can keep this up!... Respect for that!

Huge respect for you, took me a while to figure out who you are. subbed and gl.

Thx man, although it sort of fell off a cliff the last half of this month. I think it looks better than it is when I update so often though (although that in itself is work, esp when I'm not running well or hitting my goals, so I'm happy I've kept up with it)

Thx a lot man, appreciate it. GL to you also!

Nice green start for the month. Obv pretty short day but I had planned on that. Tomorrow should be a full one, although I do have a bday dinner w/ gf's family so need to get it in early. Am upping my warmup to 30 min tomorrow and for the next little while in order to focus more on my mental game issues again.

Still running like garbage, but my mental game was a lot stronger today. First time in awhile I have played this long, ran bad and still hit all my mental game goals. Def felt good...now if I could just put together a decent string of results that would be even better

Same old, still running bad still trying not to tilt but doing a mediocre job. Took out my start playing within 1 hour goal because I had to run a couple errands in the morning (and still got to playing within 1.5 hours of waking up so that was good). Hopefully today turns around.

Something I am working on incorporating into my game. Usually something aggressive since that is what I naturally struggle with and the goals help with that. Examples might be overbet bluffing, 3 barrel bluff 3bet pot, x/r and fire 3 shells on a dry runout etc. I keep it vague since some people know my screenname and if they know I am trying to overbet bluff 4x today or something that's not great

yeah sure, make sense. thanks, wish you the best

subbed! nice thread!
I mainly grind zoom200 everyday too, we probably battle a lot!
