Whats going on everyone?

I find a lot of motivation from some of these PGC threads. Some of you guys are absolute crushers. Reading them inspired me to make one of my own. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have a nice giraffe to show off.

Right now I play 100nl as my main game. This year started off well but the last month or so my volume and dedication to the game has been lacking and as a result lately my results have been poor. I am going to just put my head down kill it this month in every area of my life and get to where I want to be. Here are my goals for this month.

MAY 2017 GOALS
[ ] 80 hours grinding.
[ ] Minimum $2000 profit.
[ ] 3bb+ winrate @ 100nl.
[ ] 15 gym trips.

Lets get to work.

Starting this thread today. TONS of work to do this weekend but we're going to crush it. Lots of major tournament series going on across a few different sites that I play on so hopefully some of that traffic spills into the cash games. Ill probably blast a few tournaments as well. Got some free tournament tickets in the mail from PartyPoker for the Powerfest so I'll put those to use.

Anyways, I have a bunch of "life" things I need to get done today before I get in the lab and work on my game for a bit. After that its grind time for the rest of the night. Here are my goals for today:

1. 2 hours working on my game.
2. Grind 8+ hours.
3. Play a donkament and make the money!

Lets make the most of today! Good luck on the grind today to everyone. If you have some time today, give this a watch. I really enjoyed this speech.

Man this was not how I hoped this thread would start. Yesterday went terribly at the tables. I started the session off with stacking a guy my very first hand. After that it was just nothing but pain all day. I didnt end up making it 8 hours grinding, I called it quits just after 6 hours because it was just clearly not my day. This happens though and I'm ready to bounce back today.

(Hmmmm.... looks like the Bodog hands are converting like ****. Guess I have to buy the hand converter for this thread. Ill look into it after this)

That's poker sometimes unfortunately. Going to jump into the lab for the next few hours before the big tournaments start today. Going to play in a few of them and hopefully some of that action bleeds into the cash games and we can get back in the profit for the month today. Here are my goals for today:

1. Review all marked hands from yesterday.
2. Cash in both tournaments.
3. Grind 8+ hours.
4. Get back into the profit for the month!
5. Prep meals for this week.
