It was more of an issue of starting late and not wanting to play that late into the night and throw myself off for upcoming days. It's just a little harder to wake up, get ready quickly and get into the casino at this point.

Comparing it to last January, I've got about twice as many hours and three times as much profit... So by that measure, it's been a success... But I'm not done yet!

do you think you could do this three months in a row? I wondered if 300 in a month was possible for you. 300 in a month is really hard

I highly doubt it. It would have to be the perfect three months, be planned in advance, be a large bet at big odds that was escrowed, and even then I'd be a huge underdog. It would have to be March to May, and I'd need like a month to prep, for starters. I'd need the bet big enough to pay off like 50K+, and I'd need to be able to play whatever stakes I wanted.

Those are just for starters off the top of my head. The end of a 300 hour month is rough, I can't imagine throwing myself right into two more.

No betting involved, just to maximize profits in a quarter

Highly unlikely he is currently in the requisite physical or psychological shape needed in order to pull that off profitably or even sanely.

Few on here are.

And don't take that as a slight against your abilities Cuse. Trust me, it's not. What you are doing, and have been doing this month, if true, is impressive.

Oh, hell no! February and March will be a good test of what I can do now, because my goals still require tons of volume between now and the WSOP.

I think one day I would like to do a 90 challenge and see who could put up the most volume and profit. 600 hours in 90 days is a lot in my opinion. I act like it isnt, but 300hrs in a month is impressive. Even 200 hours in a month is a feat to be honest

Only 6 hours and 34 minutes today, it was not a good day and I did a really poor job of preparing myself pre-session for what was necessary of me today to put in the volume I planned.

I'm now at 232 hours and 19 minutes, and I cannot really afford another one of these missteps, at least not this big of one. Back at it tomorrow!

Right now I'd be a huge underdog to do 900 in three months or to do anything over 300 in a month, which I think I'll barely make this time.

But yeah 600 in 90 is a ton, 200 in a month is a good accomplishment and 300 is a feat. I think the jump in difficulty between 200 and 300 is enormous... It gets exponentially harder as you keep tacking on every few hours imo.

Tuesday I'm locked in for 10, tomorrow I plan on doing 13 minimum... Close to 15 puts me back in good shape, so anything between 13 and 15 is okay.

I need to drive hard into these off days, then close out strong at the end.

Yes, how much? I can provide a printout off Bravo from the Horseshoe, but there's one day (Tuesday) I'll be playing at Borgata and I'm not 100% sure they'll print it for me. I will ask, though, and can provide before and after screenshots of my comp balance if they won't print the Bravo log. I don't do any other gambling and my understanding is they lobby you right away now at Borgata. There are also a million 2p2ers there this week, I'm sure.

If that contingency isn't an issue, let me know how much action you want. My other bet runs on casino time (so 6am on 2/1 is the end of the 31st of January by casino time), and I'd like to keep that consistent.

Thanks for the confidence skillz! I'm not taking anything for granted, though, at this point every minute is a big grind...

Stay on target.. stay on target... STAY ON TARGET!!

This is good practice for you if opening a small business is still your goal. Think of countless 300 hour months, no sleep and constant worry... and of course joy and satisfaction and happiness. Sort of like having a newborn.
