My first poker post 15k hand weekend challenge

[[censored]]

This will be my first and perhaps last poker thread. Similar to bisonbison's adhoc only not insane I will be playing 15k hands starting today and ending whenever I go to bed Sunday night/ Monday morning. I have a hard time getting and staying motivated to play, so my hope and plan is that updating every 1000 hands will keep me on task.

Of note is that on Wednesday I switched from NL 6 max to limit 5/10 6max of which I will be playing from 2-4 tables at a time. I didn't play yesterday so this will be my 2nd full day. Truth be told I have no idea if I can even win a this level. I haven't played limit much at in a year and only 1/2- 3/6 before that.

For entertainment i've downloaded quite a few audio books and a bunch of nonporn anime. For snacks basically a [censored] load of Mountain Dew.

Good luck on the challenge! FWIW, I've played 5,000 hands of 10/20 6max in a day twice this month and felt completely wrecked after each session.

I would set a month long goal if I were you. If you complete this challenge I doubt you'll want to play poker for a little while afterwards, so it might be somewhat counterproductive.

#1,

I've tried month long goals and I never finish them. I agree this could make not want to play for quite awhile but that would be ok because I am currently visiting a friend in Boston and will probably not end up playing much mon-wed either way.

I am considering a similar challenge. I am off work due to going off a building (I FUBAR'd my feet). I have considered poker a kinda part time job away from the firehouse for 2 years now, but dont play near enough hands (even though we only work 9 days a month).

anyway, the wife is leaving to go out of town tomorrow, and I thought I would post some serious sessions at the tables over the weekend (4-6 tabling $2-$4)

we will see....not sure how I will do, I usually start loosing focus after about 3 hours (Im such a puss)

good luck on your goal

I've reached my first 1000 hands.

The swings at this are horrible. I started out up 225, then down 275 and right now I am up $534. I think some of that is because I am not as strong a player I need to be. I can already tell I am having problems when heads up against strong players. I also think my blind play pretty much sucks.

I finished the audio books Dark Lords of the Sith. I am a big fan of Star Wars but the book was just entirely dialog with descriptive narration. I was disappointed by it.

I have also finshed one Mountain Dew.

Next up another Dew and Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Wow, best of luck. You're gonna be one tired guy come Monday.

Wanna post your screenname so we can drop by to watch?

Things have taken a sharp turn for the worse. At the 2000 hand mark I am now down $104 overall from being up 500. I suppose a 600 downswing can happen but I don't think it is very likely that I am a winning player at this point. which sucks and is ongly going to make this harder to complete.

Hitch Hiker's guide to the galaxy is pretty good so far, but Ill need to listen to it again as it hasn't had my full attention.

2nd mountian dew finished on to #3.

The thing is there is good chance im going to lose and getting a bunch of 2+2ers at my table will only make it harder to win.

ive dropped a dime in that game in around an hour. No worries. You have absolutely no idea if you are a winning player. Just keep raising.
