Challenge to motivate myself

Posted by admin

I’ve been slacking lately, not studying any hands, not reviewing sessions, when playing “autopiloting” and never really paying attention, barely talked hands with friends (except for some small quick analysis with Jens). All in all, doing pretty much everything except for what a poker player should do to keep up with the games.

While talking with some friends on msn, my friends that play some micro stakes whine to me about how “impossible it is to move up through the stakes these days”. I have no idea on the level of player on NL5-10-20-25 these days but I’m 100% sure that someone who really wants to move up and does the necessary work will be able to move up to 100nl at least.

So to motivate myself and to have some fun I’m going to do a challenge, this challenge has 2 seperate things which both have to succeed for me to succeed the challenge.

    1. Poker related: I leave myself with 500 euro on my account. This has to be at least 5.000 euro by the end of September. All money made by playing will be counted (this includes rakeback or any promotions that are offered). VIP points etc will be counted for the value in MTT entrees they give. All of the play will be on Unibet (Prima network)
    2. Non-poker related: I have to go running at least 2 times a week, my plan is to go at least 3 times a week but 2 times is the minimum for this challenge. Incase I get some injury that prevents me from running this part will no longer count.

If I fail to succeed one of both things I will organise a 150 euro freeroll for PCB members.
