YEAH IM DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok after a rough week (didnt blog cuz i didnt feel like discussing the week long headache) but i finally completed the 10k goal. Im very happy as i didnt think i was actually going to be able to achieve. In my last update i talked about playing at night and i really do enjoy playing at night much more than i do during the day. Sometimes there is simply not enough quality games going and thus making me playing a small amount of volume by day. Im going to continue this blog and am going to come up with a new challenge where it may not be a monetary goal but a Volume goal instead. Im taking the next couple of days off or am going to play some small volume but will update soon with a new challenge that i can hopefully get to

Day 15

well i decided to change up my schedule up a little bit. I had been getting very sick and tired of playing during the day. For some reason i had felt very sluggish when playing aroudn the day and fel like i was wasting the day inside when i should be hanging out with friends and actually doing something. I decided to try and play the night shift and reall liked it and think im going to continue doing it. I played 35 sngs today between the times of 10:45pm-3:15Am with a 25 minute break from 1-1:25. Thats just over 4 hours of play and i have noticed that the play goes much quicker during these hours for whatever reason. It might be drunk americans or bad european players in the morning but either way i really think i might stick to this. If i can get myself to fall asleep at like 4 am then i can still have a very productive day without feeling like i have just slept it off. so im going to start at hopefully 9:30-10:30 from now on and usually play to right around what i did last night.

tommorrow night is friday night and im unsure if i have plans. If i do then i wont play tommorrow and if dont then im looking to play 40-50 sngs tommorrow night hopefully

Day 14

Well the streak of consecutive winning days has come to and end. I knew it would come to an end as i could see that my play has been slipping and my concentraion towards the end of the goal has been so focused on me finishing this that i have not been as tuned in at the table as i should be. I woke up this morning and felt very sluggish and not really in the greatest mood and forced my way through 25 sngs and played some mtts becuz sngs seemed to really bore me today. I didnt do anything in the MTTs (standard) and lost some money stakeing people as welll. O well im really going to come back focused tommorrow and try to stick to my schedule and put in a bigger volume tommorrow. I also played way to many HU sngs today. I am v good hu sng player but i really should focus on 6 handed as thats the ladder i prefer to move up in and they are less prone to tilt me then HU sngs.

Looking to play 60 + sngs tommorrow

Day 13

ugh today was the roughest day in my 30 day challenge and i really really never got anything going all day. i stll somehow ended up on the day even though i dont really ever being above even at any part of the day besides my last sng. i played 51 sngs which is a good amout and would like to keep a total of somewhere between 45-50 sngs a day Mon-Thursday. I played 44 $ 6 handed turbo maxs and was down some money. i then decided to play 7 HU sngs on tilt and did pretty well and was able to get me back in the green for the day. Im actually playing the turbo hundo with some of my winnings as we speak. I look foward to playing 60+ tables tommorrow. here is hoping that every time i run like crap i still have a winning day that means i must be doing something right.

Day 12

ok i again played a 2/3 schedule today becuz it is saturday and i usually wont play a full day on saturdays ever. I played 25 6 max turbos today and i played 9 HU sngs ranging from 100-110 $ buy in. I usually wont play that many HU sngs in a day but 6 max was really annoying today and i think i acutally booked my first losing day in 6 max since i started this goal. But the 9 HU sngs in which i went 6-3 put me ahead for the day making this another small victory in that i have noe had 12 straight winning days on this quest. I really didnt run well at all in the 6 max and got put in some sick sitaution and i made a terrible lay down in one instance that prolly end up costing me 300 $. I think i played pretty solid and was really raising a ton of pots today and just didnt fare well in as many showdowns as i would have liked. With my relentless bubble agression i tend to get in "bad" becuz of ICM hand ranges etc with a big stack. this causes me to get in a lot of all-ins and my days can be very up or down depending on how i do in critical bubble 40-60s and such. Its good to know that even on a pretty crumby day that i still managed to stay in the green and thats what really makes me think i might be turning things around for a monster year.

ok tommorrow is the superbowl and since it is sunday i plan on only playing the 215 HU matches with the 217 $ in profit that i had today. So i guess if i lose tommorrow i had a big weekend making 2 $ :) . i will update tommorrow letting everyone know how i did and hopefully i ship this tourney for 13.9 k (want it so bad)

Day 11

ok i played a 2/3 schedule today as it is friday and had a pretty solid day again. looking back on the blog i have now had 11 straight winning days at the being of this challenge. That is a pretty incredible feat and am happy that i am somehow almost done with this challenge when im not even half way through the time i gave myself to complete this goal. The weird thing about this goal was that i set the bar high and just hoped to fall aroudn somewhere in the middle. Obv many things are the reason for my recent success but i feel like my trip to the bahamas might have really been something that put me back in the right frame of mind to go back to "work" . In the last two days i have been 6-7 tabling and usually stop after completing 15-8 sngs depending on how i have felt. Its amazing how much less time it takes to play when u continually reg as opposed to registering for 6 then playing them all and then starting back at 1 sng. the key is to play as many tables an hour as possible without my ROI decreasing......this is the true way to maxamize my profits which i plan on doing much better this year. That also goes along with better table selection in HU sngs and some 6 man sngs as well. The only -ev field that i prolly play weekly is the 215 HU matches and im prolly a coin flip against the majority of that tourney but i love that tourney and it would really mean a lot to me if i made it deep. I havent really ever had a big score and since i really hate playing MTTs i find this to be the most suitable way to try and get my big score without just dumping my money in the sunday millon trying to win a ton of coin flips.

Day 10

Ok i tried to play as much as possible today as this was my first day back in the challenge and i think i did a fair job. I think i played roughly 6-7 hours and was always 6-7 tabling and was happy that i did a pretty good job keeping my compousure throughout most of my 15-17 tables sessions. During my last session the middle of it i was zoning out really hard and that made me know that i was done after playing that. I played 45 sngs and really took some sick beats and had way to many 3rd places in 6 handed sngs and that just really upset me throughout the majority of my sessions. I still had a couple of nice runs throughout the sessions and was able to really secure a winning session for the day aroudn halfway through my second session when i went on a sick run with 3 straight 1st places really boosting my day. im going to try and play from 11:00 to 2:00 and 4:00-7:00 and that should get me to hopefully aroudn 40-50 Sngs tommorrow which is all u can ask for on a Friday (going out tommorrow night)

i will not recieve much rakeback on Feb 5th becuz i got a 500 $ bonus (which i cleared) and becuz i only played about 12-15 days during the month becuz of the bahamas and internet card fiasco and waiting for these challenges to arrive. Gl i will see u guys tommorrow hopefully with some equally good results
