Im 2 months behind in posting of my results , but for those who care, which i doubt is anyone, i hit 31k in june and -2.5k in july.
August is a free month schedule wise, so ive decided to push my limits by targeting a whopping 200k hands this month, which is 2.5x more than my normal monthly goal. The most ive ever done previously is 109k hands. i strike around 900 hands an hour so im looking at 220 hours of poker . About 70 hours a week. Thats a shit ton of stress, pressure, and concentration considering i can only play in 2-3 hours bursts
kims going to be doing the food shopping, the house will be a shit tip, and ill be pizzing in a bottle no doubt.
So far im on 30k hands and thats including two marathon 8k , 10 hour sessions. This puts me well behind schedule already
In all probability, i dont have the stamina to make this challenge, but ill give it a good go. My worst case scenario is putting in this kind of volume and breaking even/losing. This is a distinct possiblity as im going o be knackered and not on my "a" game for parts of it
The main reason for attempting it is greed basically. I want to win enough so i can buy into all wcoop events in september for free, and pay off the expenditure on my car last month. Im not thinking about win rates though, as i obviously have no conrol over that, im just trying to concentrate on the volume.

Good luck you maniac. Seems slightly suicidal but will be something for the memoirs. Even if you breakeven there must be some healthy rakeback in there as well?
