Hey Shaykh I will definitely follow your blog. Good luck to you friend !

BTW I also played chess when I was a little boy... discovered WoW in my early 20´s played the game for a few years... and right now just enjoy LoL and poker.

Hey. Good luck on your goals.
Effort to solve the game = EV, so you will play better if you will study and apply knowledge.

Cheers from Poland.

Hey.
It's totally good to give yourself a free day and you shouldn't feel that you haven't done anything.
Even in normal jobs people have free days.

If your only schedule is: "play, train, eat et.c etc." you risk getting burned out. Add one day free from goals for every (3/7/whatever suits you) days of play. You don't have to do it of course, but you need to know you CAN take a break without feeling of a failure.

If I play every day like a robot for more than 7 days straight I really feel tired by poker and don't want to look at it.

Hope all is good for you.

Thank you for that it's certainly true but I really wanted to play ♦

-I decided to withdraw money from RK and I deposited $30 on party poker. I also played a live tournament and finished on the bubble(8/45) ♠_cry: but I had a great time ♠_drink:. After a lot of thinking I decided to go vegan :megusta:. I have been a vegetarian for about 2 years with a 2 month break and I have no desire to eat meat/animal products so veganism seemed like a great choice. I think it's really going to contribute to my well being and my energy, mental game will certainly go up.

• Exercise daily - Did my time on the rowing machine while watching the WSOP ♠_love:
• Get comfortable playing 6-max - Played some hours on PS and I am still struggling to make a significant profit but I am learning so it's all good
• Make notes on players - Making them notes is a practically a routine now
• Maintain a 50-50 study/play ratio - Played online as well as a live and I saw another part of GrinderSchool video series
• Eat healthy - Enjoyed my last day as a vegetarian so I had some pie and bunch of other unhealthy stuff
• Update this thread daily - Fifth day updating a little late

Good luck with this!!

My advise Sturdy hard work hard and play hard! Dont loose sight of why you are doing this. Allot of people spemt their time in the room playing poker 24/7 just to get by. Thats not the plan the plan is to have a good working and social balance.

I will keep that in mind

Went to bed really early(8PM) because I was tired from school and staying up to 2 AM the day before.

• Exercise daily - Watched some more WSOP while rowing
• Eat healthy - First day as a vegan was also the healthiest day of my life so far
• Maintain a 50-50 study/play ratio - Didn't play much and I fell asleep watching GrinderSchool ♠_cry:
• Update this thread daily - Sixth day updating extremely late
• Get comfortable playing 6-max - Didn't really play ♠_mad:
• Make notes on players - It's hard to make notes on PP so I am still working on that

I am not really satisfied with this week at all. I feel like I am trying but the struggle is real. I am also losing motivation to play 6-max and I would like to try MTTs or something similar. It's just more exciting but I don't really have time for 6+ hour sessions so big MTTs are not possible but I think I might be able to try SNG but we will see. Going to continue playing 6-max till I decide what's next.

• Exercise daily - Had a PE exam at school that did the job today ♠_biggrin:
• Eat healthy - Being healthy being vegan
• Maintain a 50-50 study/play ratio - Watched :heart:pokerstaples's stream and played for about an hour
• Update this thread daily - Updating just in time today
• Get comfortable playing 6-max - Trying my best as always
• Make notes on players - Marking players and making notes on them as I play ♠_grin:

:heart:Current Bankroll

Pokerstars - $65 = down $2
888 - $61
Party Poker - $38 = up $8

If you want to play MTTs why dont you start with 18 ply SNGs or 45?

• Exercise daily - Watched some more WSOP while rowing
• Eat healthy - It's really easy to eat healthy as a vegan
• Update this thread daily - Eighth day updating in time
• Get comfortable playing 6-max - Played only for a while because I had to study ♠_confused:
• Make notes on players - It's easy to make them notes on PS but any other site gives me nightmares ♠_ugly:
• Maintain a 50-50 study/play ratio - Played some HUSNG as well as 6-max but didn't study because of laziness/school

Was thinking about giving it a shot and I think I should try it out.
