Spin it : $3K to $12K challenge

Last night I reach 1000 games.....very disappointed after almost one month I manage to play so few games I need for sure a plan to motivate myself and increase the volume.

It seems I have the worst habit of all : I love to delay things.......it's simple incredible how I do that and how seriously it affects me The first step about this issue I made it 3-4 weeks ago when I finally admit that I have this problem and since then I work each week with my life coach to get myself back on the right path but it seems it will take some time to fix this. For the moment I'm still working to create a tracking system of the poker related progress (study+volume)

I also discovered that I am financially irresponsible. I knew that from a long time but Thursday when 2 friends come with the awesome idea to book this month some tickets at a sky resort from Austria or France for the upcoming winter I find myself in the position to say yes but after that all the way back home I was thinking if I will afford or not to go there in the winter because I have absolutely no clue about what budget I will have 6 months from now on Discuss this issue also with my life coach and since yesterday I started to keep a track of my expenses in order to spot and eliminate extra money spews.
I was advise to use http://www.youneedabudget.com/ in order to be financial aware of the upcoming expenses and since yesterday I started to make budgets and keep tracking until the last penny that I have:f_pleased:

I'm aware that I sound like a complaining child but telling you this helps me a lot to motivate myself and keep a track here in the blog of all the process to become better than average.

that being said I'll return to grind and wish you to all that read this a great weekend and good run at the tables

We should spend it because it helps with our mental attitude.
Tracking how much you play and if you play enough is a small waste of time. Just do it until you feel incomplete if you don't do it. Results can not hide.

The guy said the right thing. Motivation is necessary to start, forming a habit is necessary to finish the job. Both are important; I usually lack the former.

Tx a lot for the video, it reminds me what I suppose to do few weeks ago but no more delay , today I'm going to install an app for phone/tablet to help me creating good habits
If someone have a suggestion it will be awesome, I'm looking for an app that can be synchronise an used on all devices (laptop, phone,tablet)

Monday I finally hit my first 100X multiplier at $15 buy in, I didn't observe it until my first hand was dealt and the table pop up for action. The guys didn't stand a chance, or at least the guy left in the HU was totally crush by my aggression ♦
One hand I played I think a bit wrong, a pocket of JJ with affective 13-14bb I 3bet it all in but after I realise that is better to 3bet Non all in because the opponent was very scared money and changes that he will call a push where minimum

1/4 of the challenge completed so far

Nice hit! ♠_drink:

Let it come the 3000x one next monday!

eyy!! ♦ Subbed! GL!!

So in 6 weeks I manage to double my initial bankroll dedicated for Spin&Go:

I don't deserve it since I was mega lazy and studied so little I didn't even manage to put volume in it But at least the long promised plan that I was telling about in the past weeks start to get a form:

So this week plan:
:diamond:at least 3hours on the forum dedicated to Spin&Goes
5 videos to watch (the initial plan is to watch at least 3 video/week but I missed my target last week and add the remaining videos for this week)
3 hours/week spend in the study group I just made this Monday with some friends
play at least 30 hours this week (I'll try to push myself since last week I was very lazy )
Twitch.tv here also I need to dedicate some time but PrimordialAA seems to be on a break now with the running WSOP, but from time to time I watch PulseAU who was a former coach for PokerStrategy and now he streams hyper SNGs

Hey mate, good luck with your plan, you seem to be on the right track with everything or at least you ar aware of what you need to improve and where your problems are, so thats gold.

I'll keep an eye on you.

It seems that a ridiculous number of people are using now the SpinWiz and you need to wait up to 3-4 minutes sometimes to get same tables open. Need to take action on this and I decided tonight to get a sharkscope subscription, check all the spinwiz players from the waiting list and start to play the weaker ones.
I am not arrogant or consider breaking any fair play rules by playing other "regs" that are using this tool, I'm just getting all the value possible from my dedicated grind time since I have to options in this condition:
1. wait in the line and play around 10 spins/hour at 2 tables
2. pay 12$/month sharkscope but play around 18 spins/hour at 2 tables (of course with a lower ROI because the field will not be that soft now but still not enough tougher to be less profitable than playing 10spins/hour)

I'm not proud using this tool (spinwiz) at this stakes but I have to admit that based on my current skill not using it at all could have a major impact in my results since other good regs that migrate from $30 and $50 HU hypers are using it.

3. bumhunt at the 7s, 15s and maybe 30s at the same time, or, if the volume is still insufficient, register in additional 7s manually.
4. switch to any other site offering lottery SnGs, where Spinwiz doesn't work.

long time no updates because I was on a extended holiday from the poker tables until this Monday. All started with a trip to Ibiza and ended with some nice weekends on bike in Bucharest. I'll try to gather the photos for a nice update

wow @ibiza - sounds like fabulous

Is it crowded in this period?
can you post some water photos

Hi bonecore, I have some issues with dropbox hope to solve them this week and i will upload some photos

Long week past, push myself and gridded more than I set the goals, thing that is awesome for me since is the first time this year this happen
Forum (counted in hours)- I have each week a target of 2 hours in total to spend on forum in the spin&go boards and participate in discussions there
Videos- a number of 3 videos (spin&go or cash NL) each week
Twitch ( counted in hours) - 1h each week for the moment, had a bigger time set here but PrimordialAA stop doing streaming and now from time to time I watch PulseAU streaming
Study group (counted in hours) - made a group with some coaches from .ro community and some friends that are also playing Spins and from time to time we also discuss about spins ♦
Volume (counted in hours) minum 20 hours/week

So last week had bigger numbers because what I didn't manage to do 2 weeks before had to add to last week.

So for this week the targets are:

Keeping a google docs excel with my targets and work done seems to be the best way for me to keep a track and motivate myself to achieve my goals.

PS: the 2 long sessions of 11 hours and 8 hours where done playing live in a local casino at stakes 10-10 RON ( equivalent of NL250 but deep stacks, basic NL500 ), but after this 2 long sessions I manage to finish break even because I run bad at the beginning and cold deck rest of the session)

I'm in

A quick glance shows that PulseAU is playing Spins only occasionally, so I assume that most of his content that you watch are HUSnGs... is my impression correct?

Nice upswing How is your chip-ev-roi?
