August Goals- July Reflections

Poker

After filtering for just 7-9 players the downswing near hand 120k- seems less steep as well as the break-even stretch.

This was due to a spew session where I lost 6 bi's in a period of 1k hands at 6max zoom - 100nl; as well as playing poorly when starting tables and short-handed at the full-ring tables.

I was very satisfied with the overall results however both the volume as well as the

The Numbers

51828.96 VPP's
215,954 hands played
2948.83$ table winnings
1650 hands/ hr

Since I'm calculating SNE (1mil VPP's as a worth of averaged 100k)- 5182.96 VPP's would average out to approximately $5182 in RB.

$5182.96
$2847.83
________
$8030.72  - Net Profit for the Month ; the graph calculation is based off of 47% rakeback which is more or less 500-600k VPP mark.

The Game

The main reason why my graph would've been better but isn't is simplified through one phrase; The Pareto Principle.

Given that I'm playing close to 24 tables of just regular speed; or 4 tables zoom 12 tables regular; It's very difficult to try and squeeze the marginal value out of every situations.

The Mind is an exhaustible source of energy, and by using the majority of my energy constructing on where 80% of the profits come from ; "the big decisions" and 20% of the decisions on the "little decisions" not only would game-play be sped up but so would mistakes.

Very frequently I would tire myself out and fancy play in 'attempts' to get the marginal value out of a specific hand; whilst not seeing the obvious 'Fat Value' situation in front of me.

Life , because a  balance nourishes the mind. 

This month not only have I started on the nicotine patches; but have worked through the 'Habitrol' 3- step program to slowly reduce the dosage of nicotine which I am receiving.

Living on campus in university led to a huge diet comprised of McDonalds, Soft-Drinks, Coffee, and sour-keys. . . and complete lack of exercise.

Started on a relatively stricter diet comprised of high protein and lower amounts of fat, as well as regular workout routine throughout the week.

A side project was also started by myself in order to get closer to the less fortunate community of the beautiful city I live in; Vancouver. Interviewing homeless people, visiting the shelters, and handing out some food the homeless.
