looks like i didnt write down goals for last week and didn update monday.

basically i was on track for a great week with 2/3 poker and gym completed by thursday night but ended up on tilt for most of the weekend such that i ended up skipping gym and sudnay session. owell had a nice tie with the gf and finally caught a break with the sundays falling like aids in the way that french scoop was posted today and i realized i get to play it all despite sis and mom having april birthdays. really nice

started this week strong by going gym today and having a nice poker sesh afterwards:





gonna try and hit the gym wed and thu and play wed and thu but will see how that feels. peace

Hey I'd like to ask about your opinion cuz you're experienced player. What's your thoughts about BRM. I'm asking about it cuz I prolly one of the few guys with really nitty approach and I'm not sure if it not stop me too much. Atm I'm playing sngmtts+mtt's on micro. My BRM is 500bi bo 45-90mans, 1000bi bo 180mans and 2000bi for mtt's (im allowed to play 3 mtt's per day that I have 1000bi, those are my "shots" ). So I ended up playing ~3.5$ abi with 5k in my roll. Would like to know that you think about it

Keep it up with good work, I've been following you since 2016 and I really enjoy your journey!

What you are saying is that when u have a 5k roll u ll play only a few 5$ mtts ?
If the 5k is pure poker money it definitely is way too nitty. What I d suggest is you take 2.5k of that and play this aggressively, shot take some nice 22s play as many 11s as possible, be conservative with rebuys and go back to your approach should that 2500 “shot” fail. If it’s not only poker money I d suggest taking out the liferoll and then reevaluating. Your current approach does a poor job of maximizing returns vs risk

Goal-setting game is weak bro. No offence. Be precise.

These have been mainly to get a solid routine on a weekly basis - play around 35-40 hours, review some more, get a good amount of workouts in and sleep/eat healthy. How do u think I could improve on those?

Saying "do 2-3 of x" or "at least 1, ideally 2" means that you think you can achieve the higher end of that goal, but leaving it open is giving yourself an unnecessary out IMO if you fail to achieve.

For example, you could play your 2 sessions and then rationalise that you've already hit the low end of your goal, and it could serve to demotivate the final grind to hit the high end of that goal as you've already done enough to place that X in the checkbox.

You might also not have such urgency to get that first study session in because you know one will be enough to hit the goal, and you're subconsciously viewing the 2nd study as a bonus. Therefore, you might procrastinate on the 1st and not even have time for the 2nd.

If you're more concrete with your goals you remove these potential mindset leaks. Better to aim for 3 grinds and only grind twice and fail, than to aim for 2-3 and achieve by hitting the 2. That way, you'll be more likely to assess how you're using your time and to optimise your timekeeping.

That's just how I see it anyway. It might not be relevant for a different person.

Also, freerolls would be nice!

Good points very well made thanks for that. Good thing is tho that today is Friday and I hit 3 gyms and 3 pokers today so gonna nail the 4 for both and make better goals for next week

Had many misses today

3rd 20€ 6max
4th 55$ monsoon
3rd 55$ 6max pko
2nd 22$ smooth
5th 109$ 50k

Nice session but feels yucky to not close esp the 2nd place lost with flush vs boat and KK to AQ both for the lot but nothing I could rly do, played super well in all these. Also got in a review with the one and only solidthought today before the session and actually cooked. Feels nice to be productive

Peace
