Challenging myself

[jdbessix]

Hoping that this will get some comment/advise. Normally play tournaments and some rings (not many) but sort of felt like I was getting complacent with my game. I probably play about 2-2.5K hands a month total due to having little ones at home etc., so I decided to challenge myself.

I’m am going to try and play 10K hands at 1/2, 10K at 2/4, and finish up with 10K at 3/6. I am trying to see if I have the patience and starting hand discipline to survive the lower limits. I have read and seen enough of the awful beats people take here but really think I need the lesson in tilt management and self discipline.

This will most likely take me a few months to complete, but I think that with the help of PokerTracker, it will provide me with some good material to review. I am hoping for:

1) Good starting hand selection/decision
2) Increase thought about position and action
3) Not being a table sheriff
4) Temperament discipline
5) Reviewing the basics.
Any thoughts on what my VP$IP, Aggression Factor, etc. should look like or just overall stats would be would be appreciated.
