I was going to put the over/under at 15 days. If you said 2/25, I'd take the under, but for 2/22, I just might take the over.

GL though JD. I hope you stick with it and it works out for you.

Making plans - like blogs - is fun! Maybe you'll keep up with this one. Seems like you have a hard time sticking too them, but you really like typing.

I have some letters and a pleading in dictation if you're looking for work...

I have no reason not to follow this plan till I reach my goal, it minimizes what are in my opinion, my 2 biggest mistakes I've made in poker...

1) Playing over my head / on tilt
2) Not moving up limits fast enough with intent to become a regular at the new limit. Much too often I would just take shots (I should probably be a regular 10/20 player by now)

Last time I made a plan to win 100k I proved everyone wrong, and I look forward to doing it again.

I don't doubt that you will win $100k.
I do doubt that you will update daily on your blog until that point.

Go get your monies man.

It's not that we don't think you CAN do it.... it's that we don't think you are discliplined enough to do it. $50 says you "take a shot" (meaning play even ONE HAND above the guidelines you set for yourself in the OP) by the end of the day - February 25th. I'll have to trust you to be honest and pay up when you lose, but I do. When the 26th rolls around and you swear you played every single hand from now until then within the guidelines you set for yourself, I'll ship you 50 bucks.

One thing we hsould clarify though - the bottom of your scale is 2/4. If you start off badly and drop to, say, $2000, will you still be playing 2/4? Because that's only 5 buy ins, which I think is WAY above where you should be playing...

I said I would play 1/2 till I get to 4k. So anytime I'm below 4k, I'll be at 1/2.

The $50 bet will be too hard to keep track of and too hard for me to verify to you. Say I hit 4k and play 2/4, lose the first hand, am out of the blinds, so I get to see my cards free. I technically just played a hand above my bankroll and would lose. So that bet just seems dumb. I will be staying in these guidelines though, and I will do the bet if there's a better way.

Obviously TP doesn't mean to hamstring you with something silly like that.

However, what happens if that ultrafishy ;lkjhasdfi;j2135612 player is sitting all alone at that 10/20 table.

I mean, this dude is so bad its amazing. It'd be like hitting enter on an ATM.

Just clean him out like you usually do and it'll all be fine...

This plan sucks for the simple reason that I do not want to see JD at my 1/2 tables.
