I have done a few of these... with varying success.

Keep it simple.

2500 Games
$10000 Target Profit

No Blackjack,
No Sports betting,
No cash games.
no NLHE
Just Tournament and SNG Omaha and Omaha 8 Poker.

Starting Bankroll will be $500..

Had $3200 on Machine 3 hours ago and busted it playing Blackjack.... This cannot continue to happen...

Plan is when I am done with this is to use the Bankroll to attack the LA live Omaha streets. But can't beat anything without discipline hopefully if I can see this through it will stick for once..... being a degen hamster spinning in a wheel is getting very ****ing old............

Thanks for the well wishes SamoanGravy.... Ill need all the positive energy I can get the degen is quite strong in me...

off to the races and GodModing to start... 13 games +$330.50

went 8-1 in $10 HU PLO8 games and second in $11 Plo8ament... tourney was kind of annoying lost AQQ2 2 suits to AQ104 no soots for 70% of the chips in play 5 handed and had to regroup and ICM scrap for second... punted heads up in a closish spot with 9843HH on 754AHH board when villian trapped me with 63

also went to Casino to try to get it back last night.... ended up +$150.. had annoying spot where I made a nittyish fold of AQJ7HH and board came 1098HHH and someone had 76HH so if I gambled a tiny bit could have won 4k in Bad Beat Jackpot.... but then I probably wouldn't have learned my lesson, so not all bad that the pain has to simmer for awhile....

another quick sesh and continue to GodMode...

10 Games +$307.... got second in $7 PLO tourney and 3rd in Limit 08ament... Kind of retreating at final tbl and then getting complacent Heads UP...

I have to remember I am already 130 games ahead of schedule... there will be stretches I can't win a hand.. accept defeat. Learr how to lose and not chase and give in is the key to making this work.... nice to sun run early though..

another quick update..

4 Games +$19... wasnt super in the mood to grind after work... played few satties to BDPO and busted them... but called support and convinced them to give me a $50 bonus bec. I cancelled a check withdrawal when in Blackjack frenzy... every sliver of equity in every spot is how you get there...

adding that to my total bec. why not .

Couldnt stay away but nice happy update

8 Games +$338... ran perfect early the the $16.50 Omahament and shipped it for $341... proud of self lost big pot with AA vs AA on 10 handed bubble and was 6/10 and didnt feel slightest bit unlucky or tilted... just another hand.....

made a big bluff 3 handed then flopped the Nuts Headsup was smooth sailing.. it won't always be this smooth internalize that and deal with run bad like a Man.. don't run to house games. Thats over....

as I was typing this wrapped session with 4th in $11 PLO8 for $73...... made iffy call short with 101088 with 40% my stack in the blind... couldnt be too bad so oh well....

quick morning sesh no bueono..
8 games -$11..
played like spazz in $10 HU sngs.. had a chance win some but made gambly shove with A356 when 1/5 in $15 super turbo nlo08ament when there were 5 limps to my BB... only stack who could hurt me tank called it off with A874 no soots and it was quite good on the 77QJ runout...

busted shortly thereafter...

tilt obv stepped in and first impulse its let's go to Blackjack and make $12 so I'm up on session... but that is a slippery slipperly slope.. so be good. record the loss clear your head and try to play better next time.

You can self ban yourself from bj, not sure about sportbetting. It helped me to stop dumping money.

good to see you back. you should really consider self banning yourself from casino and sports. you are too good a poker player to let the house take all your profits.

Quick little bounce back session, 31 Games +$111.

continued to play like a whale in the $11 Heads Up sngs but won a $11 PLO tourney for $150 for small win...

played awful and got run over by the deck there.. so nice to not be buried when I should be.

another baby session... 5 Games +$9
won a few HU SNGS then busted all the MTTss.. booking a Limit 08 ament I have 2x average as a loss for closure.. so hopefully can have a sexy addendum.. .

scared to get stung here and just nibbling around the edges... crazy I can lose 3k in a few hours when I am drawing dead playing Blackjack, but the prospect of losing $200 when I am +EV terrifies me.... grow up and battle and if you lose it won't be the first time someone has lost playing cards...

if you have junk food in the house you are going to eat it, if you do not have any in the house you won't eat it. Ban yourself from casino and sports imo

You are prolly right... not sure Ignition lets me self ban....

17 Games -$5...

pretty annoying won 4 $25 HU games off bat and then punted everything else... made a bad bad play on 3 handed bubble of $25 SNG.. bet called off 2387 on a 229 limped pot and was dead to JJ99...... insta raged busted a few MTT and then shot took $50 game and lost... tilting lost AAQ8 double sooted to 10856 no soots AIPF for the win...

Omaha beats never that bad really.

This would be in the time I would be bored and just give in and bust it... thats not an option.. so play better book the loss and try to god Mode another Tournament...

one last quick update and finally a good one.

2 Games +$365

played 2 MTT and both went well shipped the $15 plo one for $282 and then ICM clawed for second in $11 Turbo plo8ament for $110..

second was satisfying could have been satisfied with shipping Omaha Tourney and called off in a bad spot but just clawed and kept making backdoor lows to stay alive... open folded double sooted AA97 on the bubble 5 handed bec of extreme ICM stacks... like 180k me with 50k then shorties 12k 8k 6k and 6k sitting out......

feels good for not giving in and getting stabbed when the going was bad... limited the blood now lets run this up .
