April Goals

I came down to earth a little bit yesterday when I booked my first loss over $500 since February 19th. It was the first time I decided to forget about the $1/$2 NL games games and jump into six $2/$4 NL games and I can't help wondering if I made a mistake by changing something in a system that was working so nicely.

Even with a little dip at the end March was a still success and now I'm looking ahead to April. I have a short trip to Vegas from April 15th through the 18th, (for fun, not for work) but other than that my schedule looks clear for the whole month. My goal is to play 30,000 hands of $1/$2 and 30,000 hands of $2/$4.

It still blows my mind a little when I think about how many hands I'm able to play compared to how many you can play in person. If you can make 20 cents a hand playing 6 games at a time on the Internet you're well into a six figure income. If you make 20 cents a hand in person you're making minimum wage. I've been getting in about 475 hands an hour which means in 3 hours I'm playing as many hands as you'd get in a 40 hour week. If I jumped into 8 games, which isn't crazy, I could play as many hands in a day as you'd get in a month playing full time in person.

I'll be shooting for 10 cents a hand in the $1/$2 and 20 cents a hand in the $2/$4. If I make these goals I'll pick up $9,000 plus $1,700 in FPP's. I'll keep you posted.
