Taking advantage of mdl promos this month?

I have been taking advantage of last month to be lazy and rest a lot this month. (And also to study some, read non-poker stuff, and catch up on all the chores/errands that were piling up last month.)

I'm still not really sure what the breakdown of my play will be in the future as far as location goes... Time will tell.

Is that promo running next month, too?

o/u 500 hours for the rest of the year?

It is a bit more work but I've found Excel pretty useful over the years, to track the various kinds of games I play and various kinds of return, from promos, tourneys, pieces, etc.. Of course I'm an OMC that resists change so don't know if apps can do the same

So have you played any poker at all this month?

Kind of makes last month a total farce if you can't drag your ass to work for a month

Well it's true that 150, 150 would be a much better plan than 300, 0, that doesn't make what he achieved last month any less impressive.

It really does though.

If you actually think about it, that makes no sense. Perhaps you're thinking about it from an over all volume or money made for the year in total type of way, which, OK yeah I understand that.

But the actual drive, determination, stamina and perseverance it takes to do 300 hours in a single month doesn't become any easier just because you follow it up with 0 hours the next month. So in that way what he achieved in January is equally impressive regardless of what he does or doesn't achieve in February.

I am on the verge of doing 150 hours in 3 weeks because of a promo in my casino.

Between the lack of sleep, the commuting and the other errands I need to squeeze into my free time, I am utterly exhausted. It has made me appreciate Cuse's challenge even more.

I'll bet the over, anyone want action?

Alternatively, I'll put my net worth on the under if we can escrow.

I think a lot of that (all?) can be done in apps, maybe with the exception of staking/buying pieces... Although a work around would be to create a new game that said something like 1/2 NL Staking or something, so actually you could.

I've played some, but very little. I don't know about the whole farce thing, it wasn't a farce in a lot of ways.

150/150 would be less profitable, though... I made a substantial amount off of the prop bets and promo fund, and I think there were other benefits to the 300 hours anyway.

Thanks, ITT. I agree. Plus I've spent more time in February thinking about and studying poker than in my average month, and way more time thinking about life strategy than usual, so it wasn't totally unproductive.

Thanks... And congrats on 150 in three weeks, that's not easy in and of itself!

The errands definitely piled up on me, I basically didn't do any in January . My apartment was a mess on 1/31.

Wow. The hardship you endure is inspirational

I guess it doesn't sound that impressive, but last week I put a 23 hour and a 26 hour session in there and I still haven't gotten back the sleep I lost during that time. Plus, I had to deal with murphy law stuff like a flat tire. It adds up.

dude 50 hours a week is about 7 hours per day, how can you be utterly exhausted

lol that's 50 hour work week...is this real life?

50 hour work weeks aren't uncommon, you know.

Inb4 debate of whether poker hours or desk job hours are harder

Haha, I actually wrote that in my post then deleted it. No derails, people!

WUG babe?

Obv it depends on many factors but being exhausted about 50 hours a week is pretty lullz imo

Pass, but would consider getting in on an over/under action on your blood pressure and cholesterol level.

Only it's not 50 hours a week. Playing 50 hours of poker isn't the same as being 50 hours in the office. There's another 20 hours taking breaks but still being in the casino which does count as office time in regular office work, correct? I also put another 8 hours grinding online. So, it's more like 60 hours per week. And doing it like I did with two 24 hour sessions in the same week, without the sleep deficit... I don't know... I think it takes a toll.

Then you add the commuting. And the other **** you need to do. Doctor appointments. Going to IKEA to buy furniture. Assembling ikea furniture. Changing flat tires. Buying flat tires. Dealing with the warranties for flat tires. Some random design work. Business emails. House chores.

My grand total of recreation this past three weeks is two hours of watching the Bridge of Spies and another 2 hours of getting aggravated by know it alls on two plus two.

Was saying that I am utterly exhausted too much? Perhaps. How about being really tired? Can I be tired after putting three 60 hour weeks while doing other **** and missing a ton of sleep? Can I have your permission? Thank you.

Perhaps this comes off as naive, but is 300 as difficult as everyone is saying? (Not trolling, being legit) I just find playing a 5 hour online session way more mentally tolling than a 15 hour live session, plus you get the social scene. FWIW have only logged about 800 hours lifetime at live.

I definitely understand not wanting to put in heavy hours after last month, but wasn't your aim 150/200 hours?

Good job on the studying though definitely a neglect for 90% of players

The 'derail' started because after an admirable month to start the year off well with a lot of volume and to sort his bankroll issue, Cuse has fallen straight back into the lazy and excuse ridden unprofessionalism that got him into issues in the first place

Persistence, determination and stoicism are far more indicative of career success than one off blasts of activity and unfortunately, Cuse doesn't seem to possess enough of them to be successful

It's ironic given the title of this blog, that a few chores and the need for some rest after a busy month are so distracting

Pro tip: quit buying tires and IKEA furniture every week.

Bridge of Spies was enjoyable.
