Goal Getter Promotion

It's new year's resolution time again and as we welcome in 2016, now would be a good time to set yourself a challenge.

How about opening a blog? If you're hesitating, check out this article: 5 reasons why you should have a blog

Whether you need to set up a new one, want to continue writing an existing one or dust down a long since neglected one, you could be in with a chance of winning some great prizes. The promotion will run from January 5th until February 29th

How it works

  • Open or continue an existing blog in our forum
  • Opt-in by posting a link to your blog in this forum thread
  • State 2 goals: one poker related and one non poker related
  • Post regular updates on the progress (minimum twice a week)

Prizes!

  • 1st. $50 and status upgrade
  • 2nd: PokerStrategy.com merchandise and status upgrade
  • 3rd: Status upgrade

In the beginning of March we will choose 3 bloggers who achieved their goals, the winners will be chosen based on the effort put (quality and regularity of updates, reaching own goals, etc.) Plus, we will raffle an additional $50 among all the bloggers who successfully complete their goals.

All details, including the challenges, can be found in the thread here

Good luck and happy new year!

Non-poker - to regain the area championship in my 'other game' [the final stages may not be completed until after this promotion ends].

I'm a bit confused. Is this a new "Get rich" bankroll challenge and thread? The old one is over/closed? Or I can opt-in in both of them?

Great, thanks. I'm in!
Poker Goal: play 100k hands from Jan 11th until Feb 29th

Here's my blog. I'm going to report there on a daily basis - is it good enough? Or shall I post progress updates twice a week in THIS thread or somewhere else?

See seven posts up: poker goal achieved! :f_drink:

This came faster than I had anticipated. Why? I developed the confidence to move up from 2-euro HUSNGs on I-poker to the next level, 5 euros. I also kept my head reasonably straight and tried playing more carefully, i.e. using more of my time allowance for each decision.

Non poker goal: matches yet to be arranged; first one won't be before the start of Feb, wait and see.

Im in.

Goal 1: Dissect and analyze my own feelings and tilting habits. At the end of the month I must understand 10+ of things what triggers my tilt and post them in blog. And i must understand how to overcome them. Goal will fail if i will not write down a plan how to handle each tilt habit.

Goal 2: work on 3bet ranges
MP 3B: 2.4
CO 3B: 4
BU 3B: 6
SB 3B: 6
BB 3B: 7.2

Imo its too low and therefore i want to work on each of them really hard.

So at the end of the month i become a TANK! :f_thumbsup:

my blog
