November goals

November Goals!

• [ ] make iron man
  
• [ ] 2k games
  
• [ ] 275,00 FTPs
  
• [ ] NO LOOKING AT RED LINE!
  
• [ ] wake up early each work day and be 100% focused

So, two main goals. I want to up my volume and stop being so results oriented. Plenty of people run worse than me I'm super proud of where I am right now playing these games and very confident I can beat them. The only thing stopping me from crushing is my own mental toughness and focus.

I've entered a little fun prop bet with a buddy of mine myselfFTW (he plays mid-stakes). We are doing our best NOT to look at the red-line the entire month. Every time we take a peek we have to ship the other person $5.

The illustrious 10k month is SO CLOSE. I can taste it...

October review

October 2010 wrap-up

Not a good month. actually its the worst month 'luck' wise ive ever had. Starting to feel like a true pro now . Anyway, got crushed all month in the 36s, ran good in the 24s. and doing pretty good on the 60s-119s.

dropped back to 9 tabling recently and really concentrating hard on playing my AAA+++ game. seems to be working out for me so far, having a nice +1k day to finish off the month and put me in the green.

60s block 2 and my 119s are off to a rough start. but hopefully I can pull them into the green in the next few days.

Really want to work on my volume and work ethic for next month, not 100% happy with it. Also my coachings have been really taking off. Got a few new students and had some really productive sessions discussing hands and strategies, so that adds a nice $1k boost to the bottom line which im not putting in the stats for consistency.


Anyway here are the numbers. I've added in some new stats to the list to accurately track my FTP value per month.

I don't update this blog as much as my other one, I have a blog over on pokerstrategy.com that I update more often. Here its just  the major posts, I mainly use it to keep track of all the blogs I read.
