February Goals

February Poker Goals

1) Finish Applications of No Limit Holdem by Matthew Janda and create study notes

I'm almost done the book now but going over it a second time to compile notes may take some time.

2) Earn 12,500 VPP's on PokerStars

Last month I earned 7,500 VPP's mostly 2-tabling $100NL. This month I've moved up to $200NL and I won't limit myself to 2-tables unless warming up or making a video. So this target should be achievable. Plus there's a nice cash bonus at 20,000 VPP's YTD so that should be a good incentive to play a lot.

3) Produce 2 new poker videos

I had a few comments that my poker videos last month were too long. So this month I'm going to try making shorter videos that are more to-the-point. I haven't decided the content yet, but it will likely be a hand history review format.

February Badminton Goals

1) Continue to fix/strengthen my wrist
I mentioned recently that my wrist is feeling a lot better. It is, but it's still not 100%. I need it to be 100%! I'll continue everything I did last month (physio, stretching, exercises, wrist widget, ergonomic mouse).

2) Badminton or Insanity workout 5 days/week
I have to admit I've been slacking a bit with my workouts. There isn't a lot of time in my days considering poker is almost a second job to me. But that's no excuse. I feel like I'm able to keep up in doubles, but in singles, I get crushed because of my lack of cardiovascular endurance. On non-badminton days, I'll try to grab an Insanity workout. They're mostly under an hour and the interval training is perfect for badminton.
