Hello community! =)
Today was a very special day. It was a great religious holiday (Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary).

I watched a TV broadcast about the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, traditionally believed by many Christians to be in the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, in Jerusalem's old city.

Spoiler

The Holy Fire is a miracle that happens every year in the Church of the Resurrection the bright Saturday day in Jerusalem. The patriarch is in Christ's tomb holding candles and praying, then goes out with the candles. Security is tighten there at that time, and make sure that there is not any source of light.

I was watching a TV broadcast and regretted that I was not in Jerusalem. It's hard to describe in words what a wonderful feeling I felt at that moment.

This TV broadcast inspired me to start a new better life! :rolleyes:
So I decided to start this marathon today (2018.04.07), although I'm not quite ready for it right now and do not have the bankroll that I wanted to get. I will count the time of preparation for the marathon as the part of the marathon itself. This will be fair.
------------------------------------

Why did I choose 2020/02/02 as a day of my early retirement with a $1M on my bank account?
2020-02-02 is a palindrome date. It means that this day's date can be read the same way backwards and forwards. Palindrome dates vary in different parts of the world.
There are 21 dates in the current century as in the dd-mm-yyyy format, whereas in mm-dd-yyyy format there are 12 such days.

------------------------------------
Initially, I plan to divide the entire marathon into 10 stages. This makes it easier for me to monitor the progress of the marathon and the meeting of goals. I will write about this later. Maybe I'll also attach screenshots with my calculations. I'll edit this post later.

Add my blog to favorites.

Wish Me Good Luck!

Hello Unicum666

Welcome on the PokerStrategy forum :welcome:

What kind of games your normal play SNG’s, tournaments, cash games and/or another format than No limit hold’em? If I know this I can help you better and everyone knows what they can expect in your blog.

If you want to post pictures without help you need to be a Bronze member I’m afraid. The easiest way to get bronze is to use 1 of our free money offers on a poker room you don’t have an account yet.

Further I wish you all the best with improving your game :gl:

Cheers,
SDK1987

Hi Unicum666,

I don't mean to be offensive in any way, but I find it hard to believe that you deem it to be a question of motivation if you could become a millionaire by playing roulette. As far as I know the game of roulette is designed in a way that the more you play it, the more likely it gets that you will have lost money doing so. With other words: The more motivated you are, the more you lose.
I haven't dug into sports-betting. But I would guess that, if you leave out the providers, the number of people who have won considerable amounts of money with it should also be very low.

I wish you the best luck by pursuing your goals. But the way you present them leaves me doubting, if achieving them is anywhere near realistic. I would love to be proved wrong of course.
