Today, the real test begins with this challenge. This will be the first day of the challenge where my job gets in the way. I don't really forsee any problems tonight because I have no plans other than eating dinner with the folks. However, when I get home, I'll fire up Party Poker and get to work.
There are a couple speed bumps in the next 30 days which might make it difficult to get my hand quota in. I have a bowling tournament next Saturday. I think I'll be OK on that one, because I can just play late into the night. I usually do that anyway. Then the week after, I'll be in Parkersburg, WV for the Denny's PBA event. I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. You can look for me on ESPN at 12:30pm Eastern on February 12th. I'll probably be the guy being escorted out by security.
I just need to stay ahead of the game and get extra hands played on the days where I have time. It really doesn't take a long time to play 1000 hands when you're 4 or 5 tabling.
I've got the DVR scheduled to record the High Stakes Poker on GSN tonight too. I caught the tail end of the premier. Then I forgot about it last week. Finally, I got around to plugging it into my DVR to record it. For those of you that haven't seen it, it is a high stakes cash game shown on TV. The week I watched, I saw Negreanu with a million dollar stack. I think it comes on at 9:00pm Eastern.
Lastly, here's an interesting stat from my challenge:
Winrate for my first 158 hands: -20.49 BB/100
Winrate for my last 3002 hands: 2.40 BB/100
Put them together and you get: 1.25 BB/100
