Day One

Okay - I may not be able to do 8h a day every day immidiatley. It's a difficult transition to make, but I will make a conscience effort to put in more hours every day, untill I am eventually albe to play for extended peroids of time.

Todays results : 3/6NL @ Pokerstars, 2400 hands +$1985 ~6 hours

Played a preety solid game, didn't make any terrible calls which is good. Once I learn to play longer I see no reason that I can't make 3-4 buy ins daily so long as I'm not cold-decked. Many of these players are absoluley attrocious these games are not difficult by any means. Here's examples of today's hands.

Poker is indeed a game of hours not results - this is something I wish I had realized earlier, I checked my lifetime winrate @ 3/6 via Pokertracker and im making just a little under 11bb/100, which is definatley maintainable given the calibur of these players. I used to just stop if i won the first 2 or so all in pots and call it a day. But if I was break-even or losing for the day I would continue playing as long as it took... Which is not the correct way to approach this game. There's no reason I cannot make 50k+ a month even jutst playing 3/6 NL full time. This number is very achievable - 50k/ 30 days = ~$1670/day. With a winrate of 10bb/100 (10 is a nice round number) this can be made playing ~2800hands/day which equates to about 6h a day 8-tabling. If I 8-table for 8h+ there's no reason 50k/month cannot be achieved.
