Since i put this new restriction on myself i have found it dificult to remain disciplined and cash out right when I hit the 4 BI mark. Two of the last couple days I have hit this mark in under 1K hands, and it just felt so good to run this hot for a change. So it was obviously going to be hard for me to log off when it's only 2 in the afternoon and I got nothing else to do all day.

So two days ago on the 8th I hit 4BI's at about 660 hands and I couldn't have been playing/running better. I won pretty much all of my pots at showdown and it felt great. I knew I should log off but it was just way too hard esspecially when I was playing deepstacked w someone running 90/10 over 100 hands.

So I stayed and I played and I mde close to 6 BI's before hitting the wall, as always. I lost about 3 of them before I logged off and I was furious at myself.

So this time I made sure not to make the same mistake, and eventhough I was running hot as could be I clicked sit out next blind on all of my tables when I thought that my profits had reached 4BI's. And when I went into PT to check my results for the day I was exactly right, as I won 100.00 dollars in 705 hands. This is my best so far and I am now challenging myself to try and reach this point and log off for the day in less hands. It took me 300 hands to even make a dollar today so this shouldn't be too hard of a mark to break.

And to help me stay motivated and as sharp as possible I am going to issue myself a few new challenges. I want to have 3 winning days in a row, with at least to of them at the 4BI mark. I then want to try to have 5 winning days in a row.

Before I move up to the next level I need to be beating this game consistantly, with variance playing a small role. If I am on top of my game and sharp I should be able to have winning days at least 4 days out of the week, and this is setting my goal pretty low I feel.

I need to be fully concetrated for every session, and just because I won in the last session, that does not mean I have to lose this one. The games don't change much day to day, but my game almost changes astronically day to day. I need to stop this if I want to strive to be a winning player in the long run.

If I only have to hit that 4BI mark 20 days in order to be fully rolled for the next level. It seems simple to hit this mark when I am playing and I want to keep playing because these wins don't seem big enough to me. But you just have to see things in the long run and know that by hitting 4 BI's and logging off you just crossed off one of those days.
