Really, I am envious!! That's exactly what I see myself doing in the future too! :f_thumbsup:

14.00hrs Saturday - just finished work.

Last day of month!

I am up $900 for my challenge (19 days so far) and will withdraw half of that (or half of what I end up with!) for the holiday fund.

Going to try and build it to $1k before the day is out. Not sure how many hands I can get in though because it is Halloween and the kids want me to sit at home (while they go out) and answer the door to trick or treaters!! Are you kidding!? Let's make some $$$....

Will post fun hands in here through the day and updates for fun. Hope it does not spam inboxes too much!

Ended up $913 for the 20 days of the challenge so far so I am very happy with that!!! Will do full October report probably on Monday (lot has happened!).

Have a great weekend amigos!!! :)

October 2015 Report

Probably the biggest learning month of my entire life! (Closely followed by September)

I/we have bought another house. We have also "negotiated" better leases for most of our portfolio which will greatly increase our CASH FLOW (up until now I have only been interested in long term CAPITAL GAIN for properties but that is changing rapidly). In fact it is worth pointing out that one of the biggest things I learned this month is that CASH FLOW is king and that a true asset is one that generates CASH FLOW not one that just increases in value (most people think their own house is an asset but it is not).

Learned tonnes of great stuff about the subconscious mind and self image this month and am putting it all into practice.

I continue to become the controller of my mind through meditation, positive thought and use of will power.

Had a great weekend away with Helen. Made a small complaint to Hilton Hotels about our stay in which I did not rant at all but basically said we were not satisfied and they sent us a free two nights with them to take in the next 12 months! Bonus!

Made my website The Success Habit active again in preparation for future and will blog there also once per week. Not too sure what direction that will go in other than to hopefully inspire as many people as possible. Also wrote this article in there which I posted to all blogs and will write more as I see fit.

Committed to writing out my "My Vision Of Me" document twice daily (last thing at night being one) which takes about 20 minutes. Journalling daily. Reading my most important self education notes daily (for example I read my "Improving My Money Consciousness" document at least twice per day at the moment as I still need to remove some subconscious negative beliefs about money).

I also left my Coaching For Profits deal at BPC this month. Was a tough decision in some ways but also very easy in others. I still have massive respect for BPC and particularly the owner. It just did not work out for me there. I can only take positives from it though as without that I would not be where I am today (and I would still recommend it to any poker player).

Very, very excited about November and the rest of my life. Let's go!!! :)

Poker

I will only report since I left Coaching For Profits (13th) because 1. Positive Mental Attitude, 2. It looks better ;)

Profit graph:

Rest is Skypoker, some RB and $50 kindly retuned from affiliate for Europe Bet being burglars!

Played 55.5 hours, 8386 hands.

Withdrawing half for holiday pot and rest leaving in to increase bankroll.

Reason for doing well: Found some big leaks, positive mind set, sweet variance!

Good luck everybody!!!

Life is moving forward FAST. Learning tonnes about improving my profitability with my properties. Mindset is getting better and better daily. And the more positive I get, the more good things come to me!

Financial education + self education = RICH! Not sure what the hell I went to school for? To learn to join the rat race and be controlled by a government that has zero clue what it is doing? I hated learning at school. But I sure love learning now and I can't get enough!!!

Keep growing amigos! :)

Really working hard on my financial education lately. Learning tonnes of stuff that is going to prepare me to be a better investor (mostly in property). Lots of tax stuff and general wealth stuff. Should teach this in schools, not how to speak Latin ;)

Have a great weekend amigos - I am considering a few beers with my muckas tonight (wife permitting ;) ) :)

Hi there! Difficult to quantify exactly. Play 15 to 25 hours lately (used to be 35). Study around 3 hours at the moment (used to be 25). I don't know how much should be added on for mindset work as I do probably 15 hours a week on that but its not all poker related although I am sure it all does help.

Hope that helps, please say if want more info.

PT4 Graph for week

HM Graph for week

Another great week results-wise. Made $313 profit and also took a whole 2 day break from playing!!!

Played 13 hours and 1718 hands (embarrassing).

The sample is still way too small to make any conclusions but I feel totally different when I play now. I just feel like I am going to win. I realise that could turn around but I am going to keep being positive and doing exactly what I am doing.

I was aiming to move up in stakes once I won another $200 but I just found out that I owe someone £1000 ($1506) from one of my houses which I had totally overlooked. So unfortunately I need to take it out of my bankroll (no more debts right!) so will have to stay at $50 table for a long while yet. This affects the $10k Journey but if I can carry on winning and maybe up my volume then I can still do it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

$10k Journey so far

Actually if it carries on like this then $10k by 1st August is still easily possible!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Stuff

All great. Well. Other than finding I owe £1000 to someone!!!

Had fantastic weekend. Watched fireworks with family and we spent some great time together.

No news on latest house purchase, still waiting for stuff to go through. Halifax HPI for October was nice! Said ~9% increase in house prices over last 12 months and 1.1% last month (too volatile though).

Down $111 for two days (750 hands, 5.5 hours). Think I played okay, just whiffed most of the time so standard stuff (not mindset I hope!).

Just noticed graphs and accounts don't marry up, looks like I only lost $75ish on graphs. I made some withdrawals and think I may have messed accounts up a bit, need to check as the money dribbles in. ;)

+$1066. Will be 1 month tomorrow so will give mini-update then.

Other stuff

Hate waiting for stuff to happen on houses. Sent tax advisor questions and no reply, sent mortgage advisor questions and skirted the issue. Heads will roll. I need a team that can reply to me a lot quicker than this (or at least let me know they are finding out the answers).

There are some big tax changes coming up for landlords in the UK and I need to be ready for them. One, I don't want to pay unnecessary tax and two, I want to take advantage of the situation when people run scared (prefer to sell rather than improve/adjust).

Been shifting money around to sort these debts out. Paying zero interest on them all now via credit card transfers but still want to pay them off quickly as they are a brain drain. Not sure if they affect credit rating as always pay them on time. Anybody know?

Have a good couple of days amigos! :)

$10k Journey - Month 1 Report

Profit +$1066

Profit Graph:

PT4:

HM:

Hands played: 11400
Hours played: 77

I am extremely happy with these results considering that I have been break-even at HUNL50 for over a year. However the sample is small so I cannot draw too many conclusions from the result. I have had a $1000 winning streak before although that was over at least twice as many hands.

I was hoping to move up soon but have had to withdraw money due to an unforeseen circumstance so it is NL50 for at least another 20 buy-ins.

I do expect to win consistently at NL50 (variance permitting) from now on due to a much better understanding of the game (from studying Gordon's intermediate level videos) and more importantly due to a massive leap in my mindset towards money. Hopefully that will prove to be the single biggest thing that was holding me back.

In the last 6 weeks I have further defined my purpose in life (which was already strongly defined) and have realised the importance of money in achieving my purpose. Because of this I expect (and demand) a big increase in my growth right now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I will show 2 hands that I played last night which showed to me how my money attitude has changed...

First hand is somewhat standard...

BB: $18.40 (36.8 bb)
Hero (SB): $62.25 (124.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♠ K♥
Hero raises to $1.50, BB raises to $2.50, Hero raises to $7.50, BB raises to $18.40 and is all-in, Hero calls $10.90

Flop: ($36.80) 9♦ A♥ 3♠ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: ($36.80) Q♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($36.80) 5♣ (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: $36.80 pot ($0.50 rake)
Final Board: 9♦ A♥ 3♠ Q♥ 5♣
BB showed 5♠ 5♥ and won $36.30 ($17.90 net)
Hero showed A♠ K♥ and lost (-$18.40 net)

My thoughts in this hand went "50/50. Yes! Damn! I will win my money back and all of his money - I am a better player.".

2 months ago my thoughts would have been "I will probably lose this flip. Oh no I am going to win and that's not fair. Oh I lost, it's better that he wins the money. Never mind, this is normal for me anyway. It is only money after all."

Second hand, same villain, within 1 minute...

Hero (BB): $50.65 (101.3 bb)
SB: $35.55 (71.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5♦ A♠
SB completes, Hero checks

Flop: ($1) 3♥ 5♣ 5♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.75, SB raises to $35.05 and is all-in, Hero calls $34.30

Turn: ($71.10) K♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($71.10) 9♦ (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: $71.10 pot ($0.50 rake)
Final Board: 3♥ 5♣ 5♠ K♥ 9♦
Hero showed 5♦ A♠ and lost (-$35.55 net)
SB showed 9♣ 9♠ and won $70.60 ($35.05 net)

Thoughts in hand... "LOL. LOL. Holy ****!! I need to reload quickly because this guy is super terrible. I will win money from this guy so long as I keep playing solid. Let's go!"

6 weeks ago thoughts: "9? 9? Yep. Oh well, never mind it is only money."

It is totally different for me now. I alluded to this once before either with coach or in blog many months ago - this (previous) lack of feeling towards the passing back and forth of money. It is a work in progress and you would probably not believe how much work I put into this every day but it is work I enjoy and it is work that will help me to fulfil my purpose and my desires.

Keep the faith friends. And keep dreaming. :)

Just thought I would pop in today to say I played like an idiot last night!!!

I was fortunate to end up only $40 down (thanks to TT>AA AI pre for $30 pot).

It was a day where maybe I should not have played. My brain was overworked yesterday and although warm-up and meditation etc was good I never got into the right frame of mind (exhaustion).

HOWEVER! I noticed that my "go to" game (which always appears when tired/tilting) is still way too passive. I think this has crept back into my game over the last few days - this waiting to make hands rather than attacking pots and putting villains out of their comfort zone.

So, hopefully something good comes of this bad play and I can get aggressive again and crush ;)

Played much better last night. Still had to "force" myself to play aggressive. Never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to get back into weak habits. Maybe low volume means I don't repeat things I learn enough for them to get truly ingrained. Will work on that.

$10k Journey

Well the general trend is still upwards! Samples so small difficult to be too sure what is going on but hopefully spotting that passive tilt will help me shoot up again!

STILL the last house has not gone through! Maybe there is a hitch somewhere.

Life is great. I need to be careful not to rush some things sometimes but on the whole I am rocking it!!!

Have a good few days amigos! :)

------------------------------------------------

Here is an article I have been working on for my website blog. It is not perfect, I am not a writer (yet). But hopefully it will give you some pointers if you are looking to make change and improve your life...

Taking Control Of Your Life #1 - Self Image.

Question: Do you think that when Usain Bolt puts his size 13’s in the starting block he is thinking about coming 2nd (or 3rd or 4th or 8th for that matter)?

Or what about Robert Downey Jnr? When he is making a scene for his latest blockbuster do you think he has any thought about flunking his lines or putting in an average performance?

How do you think about your own performance/success in everything you do?

“But Chris”, I hear you say, “I can’t possibly compare my thought process to the fastest man on earth and the highest paid actor on the planet!”

Yes, I know you can’t. You wouldn’t be reading this if you could, you would be training for the Olympics or preparing for your next film shoot! ;)

But you should. And because you can’t think like that at the moment, you should spend a lot of time finding out how you can start to think like that. Or of course you can carry on being mediocre - the power to choose your thoughts is a god given talent and this choice is all yours.

Matter of fact: If you are expecting results that exceed your own self image then you are relying on luck (in other words, if you even contemplate coming 8th you’ve got almost zero chance of finishing first ;) ).

How to improve your self image and set yourself up for greatness.

Step one: Realise what your self image is right now.

WARNING: Please do not ignore this step. Missing this step is the biggest reason I spent 35 years as a professional idiot (although if we had a better education system then I might have learned it by the age of ten).

This step is tough. You need to get really honest with yourself and write out all your mental images of yourself. I want you to write out what your self image is for your weight; your finances; your career; when you will retire; what financial security means to you; your health; your love life; your friendships; your achievements etc etc.

You should write out what those images are of yourself NOW and then in another column write out your images of what you think you will be in 3 years, 10 years, 20 years etc. NOT WHAT YOU HOPE THEY WILL BE - but what you think the reality is.

My guess is that (if you can be honest) your self images are fairly low and do not excite you that much?

The problem here is almost always conditioning (incorrect beliefs) and not being willing to expand the comfort zone (which means your dreams do not excite you enough to change and probably goes back to incorrect beliefs again! Read my article here).

You must now make another list. This time list your habits that are restricting you or that make you who you are. For example “I am single because I do not socialise or meet enough people”; “I am overweight because I snack between meals”; “My career is stagnant because I procrastinate with my learning and with my tasks”.

So, now you have lists of your self image and the habits and beliefs that are keeping you where you are.

Step 2: Make a new self image!

Now the fun starts! You must think about what you want your self image to be. Do not rush this and do not fall into the stupid trap of being “realistic”! Being “realistic” is why you are mediocre - we are not looking to be realistic and comfortable here, we are looking to improve, advance, increase, grow, be something more. So let’s go right ahead and be ambitious!!!

Make your new self image the exact opposite of what your self image is now. Really, you have got to go big here and make this the new vision of yourself. We are looking to make change so there is no point in making it somewhere in between, really go for it and make it what you would really love to be like.

Write it out and go into every minute detail. Picture in your mind what it will be like to be this new person, what it will feel like to have made this change, what fantastic things will now be in your life. Write it down too but pictures and feelings are the most important things.

Also in this part start to think of some new habits that you think would help you to become the person you are going to be. For instance, if you want to find love then you need to start going to places where you can meet people and find your perfect partner.

Step 3: Make It Real

Now you need to go through a process of making this self image real. Basically we are going to take steps to make this new self image such a certainty in your subconscious mind that it will in fact gradually become the new you.

Remember in my article about limiting beliefs I discussed your old bad self image/beliefs and how you only got that through constant bad conditioning? That things that were happening in your upbringing, education etc constantly told you to have those negative beliefs until they just became a part of you and what you are today?

Well now we are going to reprogramme. Make the new self image part of you. Keep putting this new self image into your subconscious mind until it becomes your natural state and way of life.

It will be fun!

Stay tuned for the next article when I will give you some ways of planting the new you into your subconscious mind.

For now take these things away from this so far:-

  • Your results are equal to your self image.
  • Your self image is flawed by bad conditioning.
  • You can change your self image.
  • It is YOU that must make the change.
  • Make the new image a direct conflict of your old self image.

Go big!

Have fun dreaming! I know I am! ;)

No such thing as a dumb question!

I use Pokertracker 4 (PT4) as I always have done and prefer it for speed and because I know its features well. Then as the UK lost access to a few pokersites I joined PKR and can only use HEM there so I got that (but I only fire it up when got action there which is rare as they are getting rid of HU games too!). Last one is just Excel graph that is super easy and just brings figures off my daily accounts sheet into graph form with (almost) no effort on my part.

Think this will be the last mortgage this broker arranges for me!!! Still no real progress!

Really working hard on mindset (and it seems to be working). Amazes me how terrible how I was in this area - totally passive and so many underlying negative beliefs were controlling my life. The thing was I was kind of contented (because I have always been a positive person) so never felt much need to do anything about it. But lately I found more purpose and direction in life and realise I have so much untapped potential.

Seems sinful to live an average life to me now.

Let's go!!!!! :)

Felt like I got a bit crushed at the tables last night and was slightly tilting due to losing couple of 60bb hands seconds after I told myself to quit for the night (was already long session for me).

Just done a quick review and I ran pretty bad so feel a bit happier now :)

Could somebody with a bigger brain than me (that's all of you) just comment on these for me please...?

SB: €19.50
Hero (BB): €61.47

SB posts SB €0.25, Hero posts BB €0.50

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.75) Hero has A♠ T♦

SB calls €0.25, Hero raises to €2.00, SB calls €1.50

Flop: (€4.00, 2 players) Q♦ 3♠ 2♠
Hero bets €2.00, SB calls €2.00

Turn: (€8.00, 2 players) 5♠
Hero bets €5.60, SB raises to €11.20, Hero calls €5.60

Hero checks, SB bets €4.30, Hero calls €4.30

SB shows 8♠ J♠ (Flush, Jack High)
(Pre 40%, Flop 47%, Turn 84%)
Hero mucks A♠ T♦ (Straight, Five High)
(Pre 60%, Flop 53%, Turn 16%)
SB wins €38.00

Anything different here? She just joined me with 40bb. Turn is nuts line, I call with NFD because odds and save 8bb by not jamming, then cannot fold straight. Seems std to me but just need brain help!

7th hand, she joined with 60bb. Flop super polarized imo so I decide to call down keep BS in, again seems std to me.

She looks like a fish. What betsize do you use on turn? One minute I think "go big for value from pair with diamond" then the camp passive part of me says "he will call wider if you bet smaller". Maybe 3/4 with strong Qx and this size with weak Qx?

Do you use PT4 and HEM2?

Hi mate. Yes I was always PT4 and much prefer it. Then as less sites accepted UK I got PKR and I need the HUD so had to get HEM2. I only put it on when got action at PKR (rare) and I hardly ever use it otherwise (just odd HH review).
