Sry repetition is the only tool i got left for my stuborness, lets wait and see if it works >_<

[] Spiking my last few exams
[] Put in sick volume into learning, not just playing poker (I will finally have time, and I think I can get somewhere for once)
[] Score Platinum Star, if all goes well maybe I can Supernova it this year but that's a far-fetch. I need to jump limits for that so the poker gods should favor me.
[x] Keep up going to the gym 2-4 times a week (it already shows and I can feel the difference, too).
[] Snatch this summer job teaching chess for small children.
[] Actively look for opportunities getting my driver's license
[] English oral exam (I failed with like 2% last time, while I almost aced the written part). This is urgent.

Last two are more like "over the course of the summer" but better start preparing right now, after the exams are over (2 weeks, ONE TIME PLZ).

--- Nuked ---

break the fucking downswing

play more ~~

stop tilting and making shit plays which cut my winrate

50k hands.
Be NL200 reg.

[ ] Actually play some poker - 30k+ hands
[ ] Actually make some money - 750+ dollazzz

* play 60k hands min.
* >15k profit for the month (rakeback included)
* Continue learning PLO (hope i'll move up to PLO100, it's terrible having to play PLO50) and move up when I'll have made 50buyins for each limit.
* Move up to 20/40 in FL and increase my winrate at NL400 (5BB/100H would be sick )

And I forget the most important goal:

* RUN GOOD !

After being scammed I got help from someone who wishes to remain anonymous and now it has taken me embarassingly long time to pay him back (I blame it on the variance of PLO!!), so being able to do that as soon as possible is my main goal by far.

Also being able to play 12 tables at a time would be nice, so far I've been adding a few tables at a time and 10 seems to be going fairly well, so the main problem I guess is the lack of action at the lowest stakes of PLO.

100k hands nl200

* qualify for the ME
* win at nl50
* stop being a br nit

[] Put in 30+ hours tilt free a week
[} Finish last class and officially be done with school forever
[] Win a tournament with over 180 people
[] Profit

finish exams, go a lot to the beach and relax, run so good that it would make artanis blush.

- Beat NL25 and be on NL50 - Well this did not go too well, but i had a realization that I cannot play my A game on my current bankroll. However I feel I learned something more valuable than beating a limit.
- Spice up play from FR and 6max - I tried this early on, but then realized how dull FR is and how nitty it is. I felt I was not gonna learn much playing FR, and that 6max is better for my style.
- Make a FT in a large MT - So dam close! Busted 12th and 19th and finished in alot of moneys. Determined to do it this month!
- Go run every morning before poker day - This was good success. I did not run EVERY morning, but certainly about 80% of the times. This really has had such a positive impact on my play. I feel much more focused and kick started for the day. I recommend any poker player to excerise in the morning before sessions.
- 60k hands - Hmm, well total hands for cash & tourneys = 36k hands. However I had a real job to work this month so I did not have as much time.
