Hi there, 2+2.

I'm a professional poker player currently playing small-midstakes NLHE. My winrate and results are decent, but a big issue for me is that I waste a whole lot of time on crap, and don't get in enough volume. To improve on this, I got the idea to create a freeroll blog.

The idea is basically: I set a weekly volume/study goal, or a weekly cap on the amount of time I can waste. I also define a penalty cost for each thing. If I fail, I lose the penalty cost and have to pay it out to you guys. Typically the first few posters after each weekly goal is announced will share the potential payout.

Rules:
1. Time wasting penalty starts at $100 per week.
2. Time wasting penalty will increase with $10 per week. ($100, $110, $120..)
3. Volume penalty will be $10 per hour under target.
4. Volume penalty will stay fixed per hour, unless I decide to change it.
5. If I fail volume due to circumstances outside of my control (severe illness, friends/family illness, etc.) then there is no penalty.
6. If I don't update within 8 days of issuing a goal, the posters who were eligible for that specific payout will share a penalty of $100.
7. If I can't update due to circumstances outside of my control (severe illness, friends/family illness, internet failure, etc.) then there is no penalty.
8. Volume will be shown with a screenshot of sessions tab.
9. Hours played sunday night / monday morning counts towards previous week's volume.
10. Time wasted will be on my own detailed count. (I'll be honest about it).
11. If I stop playing poker or take up something else full-time, this is cancelled.

I guess that should cover it. I will be more specific in the weekly posts, if needed.

Might end up posting some more stuff but that's not the intention at the moment at least. My hope is that this will help improve my efficiency and results in poker. Your hope should be that I fail miserably and have to give you money, I guess. We'll see what happens.

Good luck!

Good luck!

I agree. Easy to get lazy if you don't keep a clear idea of why you're doing the work in the first place.

Thanks guys!

You're all in for the Week 6 time wasting freeroll.

Week 6 | Feb 05 - Feb 11 | Volume goals

I need to play 33.5 hours (2010 minutes).

Next 3 posters will share $10 per hour under target. (Rounded up, so if I'm 1 minute under target that counts as 1 hour, if 61 minutes it counts as 2 hours, etc).

Glgl! This is a great idea to keep accountable. I need to think of something similar! Subbed.

Free monies plz

Gl, but not too much

in

Thanks. Yeah, I think it'll work out. When thinking of some time-wasting habit or action it's like: "I could do this, but it would cost me $100. Soo, no."

Sure.

Done.

You three are in for this week's volume freeroll. Already quite behind pace and will have one day off so maybe I'll have to release some monies. We'll see.

I'm torn on how I feel about this. I enjoy seeing people do well, but I also like free monies.

Week 6 update

Reached volume target, playing a total 2012 minutes and 25268 hands.



Also managed to not waste more than 60 minutes, but did waste 50 minutes.

Overall success first week, and no free monies for you guys. Better luck next week! Will update with goals for next week tomorrow.

Then enjoy my "success" this week. Maybe you get monies at a later point.

Well done!

Great gif choice there

Week 7 | Feb 12 - Feb 18 | Volume goals

I need to play 33 hours (1980 minutes).

I need to study 10.5 hours (630 minutes).

Next 3 posters will share $10 per hour under target.

In GL us and to you

Gl again, what did you ‘waste’ 50m doing?

3rd! Haha.

Nah, Seriously though GLGL, Shubbing!

Week 7 | Feb 12 - Feb 18 | Time waste and exercise goals

Figured I'd throw in my exercise goals in here too, why not.

No more than 60 minutes wasted. Penalty is $110.

3 gym workouts, 3 cardio workouts. Penalty for each less is $10.

Next 3 posters share the potential penalty. (If you're already in on another freeroll I guess you can't get in on both. But I will try to make the format better as time progresses.)

Tyty.

Thanks. Just normal nonsense stuff like watching YouTube, browsing forums, sitting around the computer clicking around, being on Skype not being productive, etc.

Thanks!

You three are in for the volume freeroll.

Bump to get three takers. If not I will donate potential penalty to charity I guess.
