The ramblings and mumblings of a wannabe poker pro

Scheduled Commitment

As I mentioned in my previous post I need to un-fix my shittyness and get into a routine, this seems to be something I always need to do but never achieve. Anyway, I had a bit of light bulb kinda thing go off earlier, when I realized that any sort of fixed schedule probably isn’t going to work for me, not atm anyway, as I’m pretty random and unpredictable, never knowing when I’m awake, or even at home some day’s, but what I think can work is having a commitment to put in 4 hours of poker related work each day for say 5 days a week. whether that be playing, sweating, reading, watching video’s or a combination, at least then I know I’m putting in a reasonable amount of time and should hopefully start to see a return for that investment.

6+ hours would be more beneficial obviously, but as sucky as I’ve been I think I need to start slower, and 4 hours seems a good point to begin.

Goal Setting

I may as well put up a few goals for the month, there going to be pretty basic though, and not really tick box type achievements either.

1. Work towards establishing a routine, and balance with poker and life.
2. Become comfortable with Full Tilt Poker software at least on the desktop if not the laptop as well.
3. Maintain Gold+ VIP on stars or and equivalent level on FTP.
4. Be happy if I achieve a total of 50k hands this month.
5. 2+ weeks of paid sessions with Rapid Evolution.
6. Improve my mental state for poker and life.
7. HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN! :-)
