I did not want to play today but I managed to force myself to sit down and bang out 2200 hands total.

I've been doing some thinking about what type of bankroll I should have when moving to 3/6 6handed. I'm thinking I want more than 300bb.

25NL 6max
hands 8266, 28hours
+$815, 19.72bb/100
$29.04 + 4.30(rake)/hr

bankroll (6000 goal)
$600

Get some writing done!! Seriously poker isn't everything. I'm glad you've done well so far.

Yes this is a problem. I may readjust the plan going to like 3000hands a day for 5 days ,still getting 15k hands a week, and 2 days without poker allowing me to just relax and write. 7 hours of playing each day has proven to be quite taxing so far. Although perhaps when I get used to it, I will have more mental energy.

I think it is quite absurd that one can make $25+/hr playing on essentially a $400 bankroll. Long live online poker.

Default Day 6/100

I decided that trying to play everyday is stupid and will only result in burnout. I took day 5 off and reduced my week goal to 13k hands.

on day 6 I got in 2300 hands

25NL 6max
10,508hands 35.5hours
$1,013, 19.3bb/100
$28.56 + 4.30(rake)/hr

Bankroll 750/6000

Q: Is this thread helpful to anyone but myself?
A: No

Q: Do I care?
A: No, not really

Sacrifices suck but sometimes they are for the greater good. If I can attain my goals then it is very likely that I will my own cow to satisfy my midnight cow tipping urges.
