The month of May has come upon us and I need to set some poker goals for myself to shoot for so it is a successful one.
I need to put in more volume, this has always been a problem with me. I eventually want to be able to play 100 games a day. So my goal this month is to play 50-75 games a day. I feel my confidence is there and I am playing well so if I can do 50-75 games a day I should make a decent buck this May. The month of May wont really start for me until the 11th. This coming week I will be at my parents house helping out around the house so I will only be able to play a minimal number of games. Then on Wedsnday I go to AC to play in the Harrahs Poker open. Once I get back I will start to grind my ass off and make some good money.
I would like to make $2k profit this month. This is more then doable and I feel like it is achiveable. Im hoping that after this month if I work really hard and make a decent profit I will be moved up to play$12 level. This is key in me making a good amount of money at this. I feel my game is getting there and that I am finally coming around even though I might have been a bit slower then some of the guys turning into true grinders I feel I am getting there.
Most of this MAY is going to consit of me trying to keep my volume up and making a decent profit. If I can do all of this and keep myself focused it wil be a succesful month for me. I want to finish Kill Everyone as I got half way through it and kinda have slowed down on it a bit, Hopefully I can get some good reading done in AC I will be by myself and should have some time away from poker as well.
As far as non related poker goals, I want to continue going to the gym. This has been a huge thing for me going to the gym everyday, as much as I dont want to go sometimes when I do go I feel so much better about myself. Right now I weigh 225lbs, Come this September I get married and need to look good in my tux and need to look good on that tropical island I am going to. This is a big deal for me and I cant seem to take it serious. If anyone has any secrets to keeping yourself motivated for something in which seems impossible to you let me know. My eating habits have to change or I will never lose the wieght I want to lose.
I think focusing on weight loss will be a big enough challenge for this month so that is my only non poker realated goal.
As far as real life happenings. We got our wedding bands and she seems to be super excited about it. The wedding is coming fast and she just seems to be stressing so hard over it. I try my hardest to calm her down and do things for her so she dosent feel stressed, I hope some of what I am doing is helping. The wedding is going to be here before I know it and I feel pretty excited about it, gonna be one hell of a party LOL JK ect ect.....
Anyway I always feel lke I ramble on when I blog. I never feel like I have a well thought out plan when it comes to writing these things, I hope you guys dont mind. Thats all I got for now.
Good luck at the tables and Ill be sure to let you know how AC went, I feel a 6 figure score coming.
