Play 20,000 hands at $.50/$1 before October 1st. I want to make a concerted effort to play 20k hands. I'm doing this mainly because I get lazy and I don't grind it out enough; I get bored and then jump into games at higher limits with better players. Not smart.
I always end up playing outside my bankroll by taking shots at higher limits. This is stupid for several reasons:
1) 3/6 and 5/10 6-max players are better than me. They really are. Their 3-betting frequencies are difficult for me to counteract. This is a problem in my game I need to address. I seem to fall into a pattern of raising, but when I get 3-bet I just tend to call when out of position, unless I have KK/AA/AK. This is -EV.
2) Realistically, I should never be risking more than 10% of my bankroll at any one time but I do. Playing higher takes me out of my comfort zone and as a result, I don't play my A game, which is supremely necessary when taking shots.
I am going to focus all my energy on grinding it out. At the same time, I want to play every street correctly. At this point, I don't really care if I lose a pot, I just want to play by making the best possible decision on every street. I know the results will follow.
Hopefully, writing this blog will help me to reach my goal of 20,000 hands!
