This blog is mostly just for me to remind me wtf i was doing this month, my goals for the month, how it went and my goals for August.
July Goals:
1. [ ] 20k hands
2. [x] 1k profit including rakeback
3. [x] Move up to NL100
4. [ ] Run 15 times
5. [ ] Watch 8 CR Vids
1. 20k hands: My goal was to play at least 20k hands, I played 18k, which is kind of lazy. But I went on a four days cruise with my family with 6h stops in Riga and Visby. There was a nice buffet on the boat and you could drink as much wine and beer during the 2h buffet as you wanted. Which usually meant two glasses of white wine for me, just because they had so much sea food.
The average age on the boat was probably 45 but it was okay anyway, still had a good time going out drinking with my brother, his girlfriend and my sister every night.
2. $1k profit: I don't usually set monetary goals, but I wanted to set one this time, a low one that i'd make almost every time. As a confidence booster from last month when I broke-even and had the worst month in about a year. The month started off slow and I broke even for about the first 4k hands, the following 8k hands I won 10BI, then hit a downswing for 14BI in 3 days x.x
I ran bad, but also made some huge spews which is annoying and retarded. I should just be able to tell myself that losing is part of poker and that's that. I probably would have made about 5 more BI if I hadn't spewed this month. In cg I was break-even before yesterday but had a heater on the last day and made $500 in 1,1k hands. It's always nice to at least profit! Even though I ran below expectation this month I think I would've made twice as much if I just hadn't spewed. And making $1k in a month on cg isn't bad at all! I really need to work on not spewing, cuz I'm definitely not crushing NL100 and I need every $ I can get.
I made enough on rb and had some small tournament cashes to fulfill this month's goal of making $1k, but just barely, thank you 31th for letting me run good :D.
3. Move up to NL100: uhm.. done.
4. Run 15 times: I ran 10 times, which is still good, 15 times is sort of overkill. I've joined a soccer team which is tonnes better training than just running. The club has teams in the 8th, 7th and 5th division. Haven't played in a club for 10 years so I'm a bit rusty. But I've always had a talent for sports and might even play for their 5th divisions team at the end of the season (2 months). It's more likely that I won't though. If I don't get injured I will most likely be one of the starting eleven next season.
5. Watch 8 CR vids: Watched 5, atm I feel like it's more important for me to just play and get used to NL100 than watching videos. I mostly just watch videos after running bad to get back on track.
On a side note, I was accepted for my university course! it's a one year base course in natural science which hopefully leads to me getting a biologist degree. The course starts in the end of August, which means I won't be able to grind whenever I want to or as much.
August Goals:
[ ] 20k hands
[ ] Clear the $500 bonus on FTP
[ ] Go to every soccer practice
