Hi there, i'm getting old like everyone and that's why i'm planning on doing some changes into my life because at the moment it feels kinda dull, that means i need to reduce a little/lot or straight up quit some of the old stuff, hobbies, habits to make room for the new. Since Poker has been an integral part of my life for over 10 years i'm undecided what to do and that's why i want to try and return to my old ways of daily study/volume before i make my mind. Last time i had a daily routine in poker of study/volume was near 7-8 years ago (also it was the time when i had my best results) and from then i slowly drifted into a barely, zero study zone and my game is at an all time low right now, shockingly enough i still had/have sparks where i go into hyper focus mode and manage to squeeze a win here and there to make my years/year profitable, but honestly it doesn't feel satisfying, fulfilling at all. That's why i decided for the next 3-6 months to give the best i got to poker and then make a decision. Goals: Play 2000 MTTs and 6000 SNGs.

For BRM i decide to use the 1% rule for both SNGs and MTTs.

Will try not too MiX both formats at the same time if possible.

Also will start slow and increase volume progressively.

😃 Have a nice morning, here is an incredible trance mix. 😉

Pretty cool @FreedoM and best of luck :)

A question, just of out of curiosity: How come you've decided to play both SNGs and MTTs, instead of sticking with one of those game types?

@OmahGAWD @LeVsKaRa Thanks! :lovekiss:

@JeppeL Thanks! You can't have one without the other, it's no secret that in MTTs for the most part you lose, that being said you need to be a special breed of player to play only MTTs or SNGs without becoming bored or not cracking, SNGs eases the ruff landings from MTTs by acting like a buffer. Also i've done well in both formats over the years, also have a lot of books, videos and courses. :happyshy: I have over 100 gb of poker material and i wan't to go trough all of it by the end of the year and maybe buy a couple of more courses if is necessary, i'm gonna try my hardest to improve as much as i can and see what happens. Regardless of the outcome at the end of the year i will decide how much time i will spend on poker on a daily basis or keep it as a weekend thing, i felt like i owe it to the game and myself after all the years of getting rewarded and not really doing any work for it. Don't wanna have this as a regret years from now when i'm on my death bed. :happyshy:

Nice, good luck! But why you didn't make a challenge 100 to 10k (Kappa) ? 🤣


Thank You. Because it's not something you can control. However studying and putting in volume is something i can control so that's where my focus will be.

This means that i won't be very happy playing against you every day 😏 it's obvious that you have experience, having the right expectations in poker is important.

I'm sure this scenario will come up, where i do good in MTTs let's say for example the Bankroll is between €400 and €500 and i win €500 in MTTs making my bankroll €1000 i won't be jumping in the €10 SNGs if i didn't win at least 50x Buy-ins at the €4 SNGs. This is a reminder to respect the game and don't take dumb decisions. :happyshy:

My main question is, how long did it take you to write this post? 

Seriously, well done on the post if not the actual poker. 

I'm a little bit undecided about poker, not really loving it at the moment and playing less and less but this thread is a bit inspiring, so I hope you at least make your targets and hopefully have some fun on the way.

@GR1ZZL3R  Idk, i pre-plan the session (what i want to play) a day in advance and it helps to have the foundation already set in a Text Document, i only need to input the numbers as i play. Don't feel inspired yet, i was as close as you can get to being broke today, i think the fact that i'm running on 4-6 hrs of sleep on average for like years now, it's starting to catch up to me, the thing is it's easier to get triggered and be on full tilt not necessarily playing bad but mostly ready to put it all on the line. Wanted to start this blog on 1st of april because i tought it would be funny to stat it on "Fools Day" and the bankroll was 10x but i again being always tired it's like you have a switch flipped inside you where you are numb in a way and are predisposed to doing risky investments like putting all on sports or in poker chasing loses. But the fact of the matter is that i have no more room for sleep in my schedule, unless i quit something. So i roll like a 😪 rider.

@FreedoM  QUIT SOMETHING!

I'm lucky in that I've never had a problem sleeping, I can only stress how important it is, along with the right diet, exercise, mental exercises, etc, etc. It looks to me that your schedule is built the wrong way round, fitting in sleep etc between playing sessions rather than lifestyle first. I've stopped setting any sort of targets, money or volume wise, that way there's no pressure to play at all. If I win (rarely) I win, and if I lose I quit, it's saved me from blowing more bankrolls than I have in the past. I hope you keep it going anyway but also hope you can sort a better schedule out, it really will help your play.:geek:

   Good choice. The games will still be there when you come back.


  Once you've picked sleep a few times you may be surprised how you're mental processes improve.    Keep it going. :Thumbsup:
