I will say, that if you're lacking motivation then another challenge will help in that regard, but the subsequent month...well, I was personally lacking motivation until I forced myself to put in some serious volume over last week/weekend. idk, I think the challenge in and of itself was an awesome idea, but...it just left me a little burned out with regard to poker. I'm sure it's different for the people who play full time, but for me, a part-timer/hobbyist, it really killed my motivation at the beginning of Aug. (i.e. I'm just recently recovering/needed a 2 week break from the tables).
Aftermath of the FR challenge is The DOG is touring the micros.....
I tried keeping my FR challenge pace up in August logged like 50k of hand in the first 10 days and ended up burnt up and spat out.
I think there are prolly some other good ideas you could setup without a FR challenge. I will participate if it starts after I am out of the lower regions of Pokerstars.
Thanks for the linkies CV will check it out when I am done today.
What I want to know vis-a vie the purging of DB is I have like a million hands and how would I go about storing them. Sorry if that is an exceedingly techno-noob question.
I will miss having 20k hands on pedro and Sk.at tilt..
