Anyone want to do 12k hands this week with me

[[censored]]

Starting Monday im going to look to do 12k hands this week, which is a good amount for me. If anyone would want to set this goal as well let me know. We can keep each other updated and motivated, perhaps even some type of friendly wager.

[krazyace5]

I'm game.

[Dariel86]

Me too /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Alobar]

I'll do it with you. I havent played that many hands in a week in a loooong time, so it should be interesting.

[[censored]]

OK we have 4 total which should be good. This starts Monday. I am thinking we should post each day in this thread on how far we have come. Should there be a penalty for anyone who doesn't get to 12k?

[dealer_toe]

I'm in too, I need some serious motivation

[Justin A]

This is funny, I was already planning on playing about 12k hands this week. However, I'm leaving for Vegas on Thursday, so I only have three days to do it. So anyways I'm in.

[bugstud]

I am tempted, even with the vegas stuff happening.

[[censored]]

My schedule to get to the 12k mark is hopefully going to look something like this. I've constructed it to make room for activities I have planned for the week.

Monday 2500
Tuesday 1500
Wednesday 2000
Thursday 3000
Friday 500
Satudary 1000
Sunday 1500

[krazyace5]

Let's go!!!

[sublime]

ok, im in.

i will provide daily updates. if alobar doesnt make it, i say we make him change his location to:

helping poor people

[Schneids]

My goal is to do 1200 hands between now and the end of Thursday. However, the goal on top of the goal is to table select better than I've ever table selected before. If playing 4 handed, I want at least 50vpip for the table, if 5 handed, at least 43vpip, and if 6 handed at least 37vpip across the table.

[jerome baker]

[censored]. i only did 13k from may11- june11.

its 510 am right. ill try to do 12k this week.

[galahad_187]

[einbert]

I'll do it.

[GuyOnTilt]

I'm tempted...

GoT

[Ryan11]

My goal is 2k short of yours. . I want to get in 10k hands this week . . I'll keep y'all posted anyhow

[Diplomat]

I'm trying to do 500 sng's a week for the month, so I'll just count sng's along with you.

[Alobar]

Monday 11:16am: zero hands. Time to get busy!

[sublime]

1,171 suckas

[Justin A]

2183 for me so far.

[stabn]

I played about 2500 hands this last weekend, which, sadly enough, is pretty good for me. I'm going to give this a shot starting tonight and fail miserably probably finishing this week with about 5k hands.

So far so good, I put in 3,071 hands today.

Should be well on my way towards meeting the goal.

1,612 hands for the day and im done. I planned on playing more but im [censored] sick of poker. I was up over 110BB for the day, which would be the first real winning day I've posted in a while. Then in the last 250ish hands I dropped 95BB. Id rather just play the whole day break even than this bullshit. I swear to god, I think this is my last week of poker, and then im quitting.

[galahad_187]

that sucks alobar =/ consider taking a break if your currently hating the game. I doubt you'll be playing your A-game if you dislike poker.

i ended first day with 2196 hands and + 335 BB. so far, challenge so good.

Good lord 335 bets!!

I ended the day with 4,046 hands and my results are irrelevant.

OK done with my first session and im at 1388 hands. about 1/2 on schedule.

[stabn]

1250 hands, i suck balls /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[dealer_toe]

1251 hands, of course, in the red. I'm prolly dropping down a limit.

[[censored]]

yeh dude go the fark to bed, jesus :P

[Justin A]

Here I am trying to grind some solid hours and the Party servers crash or something. Looks like I'll be up late tonight. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[krazyace5]

I started Sunday after midnight, most all my hands still went on Sunday in Pokertracker, then Monday and this morning my internet wasn't working, so I have 435 hands. Lots of catching up to do.

[Justin A]

Two sessions this morning for a total of 2,041 today. It was an unusually low variance session. Even though it's up and down a bit, the entire range of my low and high point is less than 70 big bets, which is very low for a 2k session.

[[censored]]

Started off the day with 500 hands to get myself on schedule at 2750. I'll be looking to do another 1500 tonight, and I would like to 2k which will lighten my Thursday load.

[galahad_187]

Will tuesday didn't go so well. I think today was my 'get outdrawn alot and not play so hot' day. i seem to have 1 1/2 a week :P
hands this week: 4283
bb earned: 225

sucky =/

[dealer_toe]

Didnt play tonight, but looking to get about 2k in tomorrow, now this thread is going to be annoying because of that graph. It looks a lot like my results lately, minus all those "upward" lines.

[Justin A]

I suck, I'm quitting early today. 2607 hands for 6653 total.

[Alobar]

party going down this morning really messed me up, cuz thats when I planned on getting the bulk of my hands in, as I had a date this evening. So...

Today: 911
total: 2526 /images/graemlins/frown.gif

"The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up" ---someone really cool

[krazyace5]

1,780 hands, woo hoo /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[[censored]]

I'll be getting a late start today, i was up late last night catching the premier of Batman but today needs to be a big day.

Seems like we have lost a few people. Let's go guys!

[Alobar]

How was the movie? any good?

Ive got about 800 hands so far today. I really need to put in alot today because im already behind. so im gunna try and do another 1500 :/

[jerome baker]

im at 2500 hands.

anyone here trying to reach 12k hands by playing 4 tables of 10 handed limit games?

[galahad_187]

holy wow, and i thought yesterday sucked =/. today i had BHVBHS(big hand vs big hand syndrome).
this challenge is depressing. went from 8bb to 7bb/100 over almost 70k hands the last 2 days =p
but the week is young!
hands:7413
bb earned: 158 farking depressing =p

[dealer_toe]

Stop the complaining, and expect a lot more downswings if you are really at 7BB/100, you're running really good.

I'm at 2550 and I feel like I'm going to have a seizure because my monitor sucks so bad.

I'm 4 tabling full ring too.

+/- BB: "Doesn't matter"

Edit: I could be wrong about your w/r actually, because I don't know if you're playing .5/1 or lower, if so, its sustainable, and sorry.

[galahad_187]

i'm playing 25NL 6-max 8bb is plenty sustainable.
although i did run a little too well last week, so its just the coming back to me really.

[dealer_toe]

yea, after I posted it I realized I didn't even know what limit or game you played. I've been pretty grumpy lately, my apologies.

[galahad_187]

no worries

[[censored]]

Thursday is here and I need to put in some serious time. I'm looking to do 5k which is a lot. so we'll see how close I get.

[galahad_187]

im done for the day at 10155 this week.
unfortunatly for me i can't play nights becaues i have a clingy girlfriend =P
those damn things are so -EV its scary.

[dealer_toe]

820 today, 3370 total, not even coming close to 12k, I might play some 6max this weekend to atleast put up a respectable total. Plus I cut tonight shore because I gotta watch Brent Barry single handedly beat the Pistons silly.

...wheres my vodka?

[[censored]]

i am at 2k so far tonight but in the midst of a 120bb down swing which is exhausting. Ill play some more later

[edge]

If anyone wants to do this next week and put like a $50 wager on it, I'm up for it. I've been slacking recently and avoiding playing because of sour beats.

[galahad_187]

well, broke 12k. poor week so far winnings wise but theres still about an hour-2 tonight and 2-3 hours tommorow
hands: 12348

[krazyace5]

5,599 gonna be a busy weekend.

[galahad_187]

oi, what a week. i finished at just under 15k hands for the week.

[thejameser]

[krazyace5]

9,595 was doin fine in the $50 games, decided to try the $100 and got killed, everytime I try them I get killed. Will finish up tomorrow.

Last Week's 12K Hand Graph (http://img300.echo.cx/my.php?image=12kweekchallenge7el.png)

I usually play around 11K-12K hands a week. I'm on a mission to get that up to 20K a week. I plan on increasing my weekly goal by 1000 a week until I'm doing 20K. If I burn out I'll revert to my old plan. I can play 10-12K w/zero burn out ..more than that is questionable but I want to push harder! 14K-15K weekly may be my max week in/ week out thu.
