Hi all, for those of you that don't know me I play purely headsup poker currently at limits nl100-200 under a stake coaching deal and have been doing so since feb of last year. Although this is my only source of income its been clear over the last 11 months i havnt put the time and effort in that i really should. (what usually happens is i play 10-15k hands a month make an ok amount and instead of saving anything to build a bankroll of my own or improve equipment, i squander it all on partying..) I tried several times to set volume goals, points goals etc. over the entire month but they've always ended in failure, so last week i decided to set one of a very shortterm nature of a lockdown that could last anywhere between 1-4 days Lockdown this actually went pretty well and i managed 2 full days.. this got me thinking, what should i try to achieve next which actually has a reasonable chance of being completed. So my new goal is to play 1.5k+ hands a day for the next 7 days. this is approximately 5-6 hours of play per day 1-2 tabling. Each day will be accompanied with graphs, general mood and some days may include abit of strategy or funny hands..
