@@@*** Feb 2015 - Goals / Progress / Results Thread ***@@@ - Page 2 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

There is a big world out there to explore.
Poker is a fun hobby for me. The though of playing 100 hours a month is mortifying.
I play when I feel good, I stop or don't play at all if I don't feel so good.
Perhaps a little outrospection could benefit us all.

With that being said, this world is crap so who would want to explore all that garbage anyways.

More hours + lower w/r = more swings = more stressful. So it can definitely make sense to play a bit less for a bit less $$$

I disagree with your last sentence, the world is brilliant.

Played awful, ran bad and tilted for the first time in a while.
All in all a pretty rubbish start to the month.
Compelled to keep playing volume to clear this bonus.
Recipe for disaster.

yeah man, 10,595 hands in 4 days is a tough grind for sure. I'd recommend taking a day off tomorrow to recharge the batteries.

Makes sense, I need 2079 fpps in 9 days to clear my ULTIMATE bonus.
Any idea of a rough guess as to how many hands that is it $25 Zoom? I need to plan this next few days.

Thanks for the input.
Not quite as many hands required as I would have imagined
