Good luck with your goals this month everybody.

I started with $2 with the goal of $2000. Now we're at around $240 playing NL2 and NL5.

My goals for this month:

+$200
Improve tilt
Move up to NL10

I make a video, reviewing some hands and progress each week. Here is the Week 9 video:

Haha I read about that. If I could do that I would. Would be weird for live grinding though, having to nap in the car every 4 hours.

This is a good goal.

I think the evidence that I'm addicted to this game is too often I play when I'm feeling ****ty and 100% know that I'm going to lose but I play anyway.

Of course, I can justify by saying "volume".

Volume can kiss my arse.
Although this Ultimate bonus is driving me mad. A fairly inconsequential amount but it feels like a challenge.

I'd much prefer to be a 3bb/100 winner over 50k hands a month than a 2bb/100 over 100k hands.
Then again it's easier for me to say that being a purely recreational player

I guess when you aren't playing for the money, it makes sense. Although, I doubt he is in a position where money has lost all value.

I would. Cause you can always just play more often and win more. Unless he means playing twice as much causes his wr to decrease to 2bb.

I think it's fair to assume the longer our sessions, the worse we play.
Absolutely true for me anyway. Fatigue sets in.
I'd absolutely rather play 50 hours a month for $400 profit than 100 hours a month for $600 profit.
