Day 0-1.

Many mistakes, many coolers.

I played less than I had planned because my sleep schedule changed. I want to play from 0:00 to 9:00 and yesterday at 3:00 I was already tired and made several big mistakes.

Greetings.

Day 2.

Another day another mistakes.

Yesterday the games were very juicy and I'm still making stupid mistakes, so the result is weak. Today I will start earlier because my concentration drops in late hours, which causes a small volume.

Day 3.

My game was much better but still far from A-game.

And I won 25x

Week 1

The first big summary but it is still small volume. My game was from day to day better but he still far from optimal. Next week I will be refining the game hours which increases concentration and quality of my game.

Summary:

Games: 209

EV$: +248,77$

Rakeback: +147$

Total: +395,77$ (0,395%)

Day 4.

My yesterday's game was the best this year, but from 3:00 spins started very slowly, for 2.5 hours I played only 12 spins, so I decided to start session at 22:00 instead of 24:00. At the end of the day I had a few coolers so the result was a bit messy.

Day 5.

The best day in this year. 10 spins missing for the standard game day, I will try today to increase the number to 100 spins, and later I want to keep it as a standard. About 40 spins happened to me a small tilt but I made a 30min break and returned with a clear head.

Day 6.

Partypoker at night isn’t pleasant to play. Tables begin very slowly, so I have to shift my session times. My performance yesterday was quite average and I made many unacceptable overcalls.

Day 7.

I conceded this day.

My mindset is my largest weakness; I slide into tilt very quickly and effortlessly. Yesterday was a worse day in real life and I soon began tilting, so I chose to skip the sessions and clear my mind by watching another episode of Vikings.

Day 8.

A fairly good day, yet I still require more focus. I take breaks too frequently and handle trivial matters.

Day 9.

Great run leading into 40 spins, then a couple of coolers and ended even; most games were against regs, so the outcome is fairly good.

Day 10.

Only 17 games since I had a planned free evening.

Week 2.

The second week of the challenge has concluded. My game quality was very good, but the hours I spent on the game were much worse.

Summary:

Games: 602

EV$: +2199,80

Rakeback: +602$

Total: +2801,80$ (2,80%)

Day 11.

Pretty good run.

The games were very easy, most spins with two fish.

Day 12&13.

Terrible game on my part. I'm slightly ill and drowsy, which caused me to commit a number of serious errors. On top of that, I'm searching for an apartment and feeling somewhat distracted.

Day 14&15.

Yesterday I posted something but forgot to share it :facepalm:. 14th day remained weak. Several cooler runs and errors from a slight tilt. On the 15th day, I played live cash games with friends and finished about +/- 80$.

Day 16&17.

Free day. I used all the days off from the game until the end of the month.

Week 3.

It was not a good week. The result does not show my game, which was not the best. It's better not to talk about volume ♦

Summary:

Games: 808

EV$: +2934,25$

Rakeback: +808$

Total: +3742,25$ (3,74%)

Day 18&19.

These two days were very strange. I could play my A-game with very good concentration, to suddenly catch a huge tilt in a second. I am not happy about this, I have to work hard on my mindset.

Day 20.

I was raped by the distribution of cards.

First, I chose to post once a week with a recap of the entire week.

Week 4.

So far, the worst week. My form was awful, the card runs weren’t in my favor and my biggest issue was mindset. Almost every session began as a loser and I quickly shut down. Three more days until month end but I already know it will close with very poor volume. Promotion for 100s postponed for another month.

Summary:

Games: 1023

EV$: +2796,34$

Rakeback: +1023$

Total: +3819,34$ (3,82%)

Week 5.

Decent week. I took two days off and came back with a clearer head and a different daily routine. I’ve arranged shorter sessions spread across the day and now it looks like this:

two sessions of 15 spins immediately after waking with 10 min break two sessions of 15 spins two sessions of 15 spins from around 8:00 pm with 10 min break two sessions of 15 spins two sessions of 15 spins from around 12:00 am with 10 min break between these blocks I leave time for dumb tasks and things that occupy my mind during long runs

I switched to drinking yerba mate instead of energy drinks and I notice better concentration and less fatigue, so I recommend it to everyone.

Summary:

Games: 1313

EV$: +4221,27$

Rakeback: +1313$

Total: +5534,27$ (5,53%)
