Haven’t been able to play last 5 days. Got off tomorrow so going to try to play a big volume day. It’s been tough preparing for the holidays coming up etc. 400 games is going to be a stretch but I’m positive if I have a big volume day tomorrow it will put me on track to hit 350-375 for the month. Results wise im having a good month so just need to play well.

- Good day yesterday very low in volume but with the holidays coming up and the snow etc it is what it is.
- I need a day today where volume is 60+ minimum and plan to play at least 4 MTT's so a bink would be much needed since Im down money this month solely MTT play.
- Hope to run good in the $25s today and with my $50 promo I will be playing 1 of the $50 sngs it will be my first time playing that high. Same faces more buy in won't be much diff.
- Goal of this week is to play 150 games and take 9th again in the leaderboard to secure the $50 promo opposed to the usual $20. Lets go.

- Ran really good tonight in the $25's but then again i did lose a AA v KK/QQ/99 hand but then I ended up shipping that $25 no complaints here. Downloaded SNG Wiz for a free trial to start running some sims to see where I should be calling these 15bb open jams from LP
- Gonna be tight fitting in another 75 games this month. Only got like 2 more solid days of playing. Been slacking on some days where I only played 35-50 should really be playing 60-70 on days off devoted to poker.

Took a short break with christmas etc going on. Bak at it today decided to chill out a bit after work to study and prepare for the grind tomorrow. Hit $110 promos last week. Lets goooo.

It is important to note I need to make at least $12/hour profit in 2021. With Rakeback + promos I will be much higher than that hourly which makes it okay. For me to make this a side gig those are my terms otherwise after 2021 I'm gonna quit and get a real part time job, it's not worth the time vested if it is below that. Of course this includes everything like MTTs so that might be the difference maker.

Never made yearly goals before for poker always been month to month type of guy but now that I know a lot about SNGs/rakeback generated with these think I could aim high while being realistic plus im trying to be a semi-professional so its needed imo.

Good start to the year. Ran pretty bad but took down the only $25 game i played which was clutch. Released $10 bonus as well but was not reflected in the money won/loss.

Ran pretty bad today just smirked and moved on. Upped my games from 10 tabling to 14 tabling. 14 gets a bit rough when I have 2-3 head up matches at once but think its aight. Took 10th in the wsop $7r for $55-ish to help even out the day with a small profit. Now that Im regging for every single $25 sng game a 10 buy in swing goes from $100 to now $250 so thats something to get used 2.

Funny I mentioned 3.5k bankroll yesterday played a quick session after work lasted 2 hours and printed money again. Taking next few days off but will fit in some studying, had some weird calling range spots where they open shoved 20bbs and against specific opponents who were restealing pretty liberally need to see if I was under adjusting or not.

Didn’t play last night on my off day went to a friends house and played some cash
In for $100 out for $395 and lost 2 massive pots with AA calling that a big win. This has nothing to do with the challenge so it is poker related and has to do with yearly stats. Played for 6.5 hours.

Ran super bad first 3/4 of the session worst ive seen in a while but made a bit of a comeback so calling the amout i lost a win. Additionally global poker client caught my eye with all the sngs they got, giving it a go. Client/software seems weird but site does seem soft.

As you can see below made another deposit (last one made in dec-ish for the deposit bonus). It's basically my rakeback i get $10 back per $50 raked. It's the only reason I put so much volume on this site it makes rakeback doable with the deposit bonus roughly 20%.. Promos should be around $80 if I play consistently so that % will vary based upon how much weekly promos I make that month divided by the raked amount.. Wsop Points which is only around 8% rakeback on the lower end bronze level.

Real solid month good start to the year and been consistent playing sngs. Barely played any MTTs so during the year I def need to up that volume.

Last day of grinding for the month is today and happy the way the month went and how much I played. Goal was 300 games and crushed that.
