2m 2k - deadlydaveLDN

I kind of feel like it's worth each of us having separate threads, so it will be a bit easier to keep track of how everyone's doing, and also so that I can post random nonsense as I think of it without clogging up the other thread. My plan of attack I keep changing my mind, but I've finally settled on how I'm going to approach this - low stakes MTTs. With a starting bankroll of $500 I will play MTTs upto an $11 buy-in. If my bankroll (and hopefully it won't) drops to $250, I will limit myself to $5.50 max buy-ins. If I get to $0, well that's challenge over for me. Which MTTs? I will be playing on Full Tilt (where I have 27% rakeback, although this will be minimal playing MTTs) and Poker Stars. Below is a list of all daily tournaments that I will be choosing from. All times are EST. There are other tournaments I could play, but these are the ones with guarantees, and I think having some kind of schedule to select from will keep things a little more structured for me. I will not play every day. On days I do play I will plan to play for x hours, 4 tables at a time, loading a new MTT once I am eliminated from one.

Re: 2m 2k - deadlydaveLDN Keeping motivated/avoiding burnout I am very good at playing poker for hours on end, without being in the right mental or physical state to do so. As well as playing good poker, I feel like I'm going to have to be in the right frame of mind when I play if I'm to achieve the results needed for the 2k. I will avoid playing when tired, after drinking, when hungry etc etc. I will be trying to get some decent excercise at least once a week, I will be cooking regularly (instead of just random takeaways in front of the laptop :lol). I won't be playing after 8 hours of work. There's probably other stuff, but the basic point is that I'll be trying to come to the poker tables with a clear, focused mind, wanting to play poker for the enjoyment of the card game. Which will hopefully, in turn, lead to good play and profits. Poker Preparation I will be doing as much as is possible with my game off the table. I will watch MTT videos on days that I choose not to play. I will post hands after play, and ask for strategy thoughts. I will make sure I set up my HUD in a way that is optimal for low stakes MTTs (I haven't thought exactly what this will be like yet, that's my task for tonight and tomorrow).
