How it's gone be from now on

Ok so I have basically been donking off monies for the last month and I am over it! Ever since I got my puppy I have completely neglected improving my game. I don't even know why I have been a member to CR for the last couple months cause I've only logged in once or twice!!!
Well this certainly will not do anymore. I still have the chance to beat 100NL, which I am confident I am good enough to do, and I do not want to blow this chance while I still have it. I am giving myself 7-10BI's to try and stay at 100 and if I loose that then it's back to grinding 50.
Its really cool because I know that I have a guranteed rate back at 50NL and there is no shame in going back to that limit for a month. However I basically have 5 months to make this my full time job so that I don't have to get a job this summer. For this to be the case I want to have at least 25K in my BR so I can cash out 1/10 of that each month to live on. That equals 5 god dam K a month and I believe this is very realistic if I can beat 200NL in the next couple months or so.
I have to take this seriously and no more fucking up if I want this to be possible. No more worrying about yearly wages, set more short term goals and try to acheive those, cause it's impossble to estimate a yearly wage when i have know I idea what limits I am going to be playing and when.
So my short term goal for this next month is to profit 5K at only 100NL. I am only going to be playing 6m until I have consistantly started winning. I need 11 days making 500 so just set yourself short term acheivable goals.
Like 2/3 days I wanna win 5BI's with a net profit of >10BIs. This is not hard to do, in fact the problem that I am most worried about is what am I going to do for the rest of the day after I make 5BI's haha.
Well I'll tell you what the fucks going to happen. You are going to use that time to improve your game. I am going to be watching at least 1 probably more videos a day for the remainder of break. Anytime that I have a session of over 1K hands or + or - 3 BI's I am going to blog about it. And no it's not going to be a diary anymore its going to be a poker blog. I am going to figure out how to upload hands into my blog.
I remember CTS doing something that he thought helped him a lot when he was moving up throught the limits is posting every hand where you get stacked. So from now on every time after a session that I play I have to go throught my PT and review the big pots that I lost. If there are any spots that I got stacked for 100BBs+ or really need to learn something I am going to upload it onto my blog, and discuss what I should have learned.
So from now I am going to have to really want to play a session because I am going to have to do all of this after I am done, no ifs ands or buts.. I want to take this seriously and actually move up through the limits, so I cannot slack off, I have to do what is necessary in order to move up.
If I am really focused on improving my game I can be playing 400NL by this summer, but if I just jack off and mindlessly play too many tables because I have nothing else to do I will still be struggly to beat 200NL by this summer and have cashed out any profits that I may have had.
Thats what happened to me over the past 5 months when I could never seem to move up to 50NL, it took me so much longer than it should have, but I have learned from my mistakes and I think I can rush up through the limits now.
I heard the difference in 10 and 100NL is comprable to the difference in 100 and 1KNL. If this is even remotely close to true I have what it takes to be 4tabling 1KNL by the end of this year. I am going to go about it the right way and instead of mindlessly grinding/browsing BBV all day, I am going to only play when I am extremely focused, and go over every session afterwards, and work on my game for the rest of the day after I won my 5BIs.
If I go about this the right way I will be at 1KNL by the end of this year, if not I'll prolly be struggling to beat 200NL, so remember that!
I will not be playing more than 4tables of 6m, or 2tables of HU. I won't be playing any100NLHU for a little, but I might get in some hands at 50.
