10k Challenge Days 1 & 2
Hey everyone, I just finished the first 4k hands of my 6 month challenge I started 2 days ago.
My goal was to play 4k hands a day, but on day 1 I decided to take it slowly and focus on the tilt work I was doing and also ease myself back in because i hadn't played cash grinding wise for a while.
On day 1 I spent time looking into the idea of habits being made of cues, having routines and rewards like a cycle. A habit starts with a cue and then there's some unconscious routine you use to satisfy it and provde some reward.
Mike Gano talked about this over on his blog, http://pokerinabox.com/change-your-habits-and-win/ and I've used the ideas to put my own tilt improvement plan together, so far so good. I knew it was important to spend time on this as it is the weakest part of my game.
I ended up playing just 300 hands on day one, so at about midnight last night i worked hard to get some hands in to kick things off and played 2 sessions and i've just finished (wasn't stopping until i hit the 4k mark!)
So i've played 4069 hands so far at 5nl, will update again at around the 10 k mark.
Was thinking I will put a 10k profit milestone on the challenge as a first big milestone so have added that now
Day 1 and 2: +60$ ; Br: $160 / $10,000
Have a great Monday!
