I have set for myself a new goal: To make $1000 per day.

However since I am currently incapable of this, I shall go for an alternative goal of 1000 hands per day. Poker, much like life, is better played with goals in mind. Goals have a particular ability to make people perform better. This is actually my first ever poker goal.

I have long grimaced at the act of playing micro stakes, as the variance and looseness of it all strays so far from classic poker. I have long since been unwilling to conform to their standards, holding strong to the belief that the best hand should always win, and if they're going to limp Q3o well then I'm going to raise A3o goddamnit. Whatever misgivings I have, there is one conclusion I am fast drawing upon, and that is micro stakes is all about volume of play. The game CAN be a bit variance heavy depending upon how you play, but either way what it really takes to drudge through it is sheer numbers in hands played.

If you play a super nit FR game, while you may hardly lose a hand, it will take thousands of hands to actually show a solid profit. And if you are daring enough to play a LAG game, the variance will kill you without again, tons of hands to survive through it. My entire poker career has spanned just barely over 100k hands. The last few months have consisted of maybe 2-4k hands each month. My goal is to play 1000 hands every single day for a month straight, to get 30k hands per month, a solid monthly sample which should show a gradual increase in bankroll. I am hoping to quickly move up to 2000 hands once my bankroll is large enough to allow for more tables at a time. I am simply going to count on the math of the game to say that playing in a +EV way WILL yield profit. Maybe not at the end of the day, maybe not the end of the week, but surely by the end of the month. Hopefully this becomes habit forming, but I feel being able to play as many hands in my entire poker lifetime in a matter of months should break me in to being able to be a full time poker player.

Just don't go on tilt and force yourself to play a few hundred hands while steaming to meet your daily quota.

1k hands a day for FR? gotta put in a lot more than that if you wanna progress, imo.

1k hands/day is nothing

Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol

You need to put in ALOT more hands, or you should quit thinking about playing poker as a job sorry to say.

I have a full-time job, and i still manage to put in around 60-70k hands a month.
