Morning RIO!

Enjoy reading the blogs here, time to start my own. I am going to be playing full time for the next year or two and I would like to keep a journal of this period. I have never kept a journal before, but I definitely think it's going to be of benefit to my mental game and even if it isn't I am sure my writing will get some much-needed improvement.

I will be playing with a Starting Bankroll: 2,000 and will Withdraw: 1,000 Monthly. I will mostly be focused on playing MTTs to start with I will play between 1-22 tournaments and 11-22 STTs I will start the rest of this year playing the off-peak timezone to keep variance nice and low with a view to moving to peak hours in 2021.

I am going to set a few simple rules which if followed consistently will lead to good results. 1/. Review one full tournament pre-session sometimes this will be an MTT and sometimes this will be an STT sometimes it will just be marked hands. 2/. No distractions during study or sessions It's hard to claim your a professional if you have a podcast on in the background..... 3/. Exercise Daily hard to perform at your best if you're sitting down most of the day and never exercising. 4/. Volume, Volume, Volume: 600 games a month at minimum Variance is sick and the best way to combat this is increasing winrate and volume. 5/. Journal I will be keeping this thread up to date after every working day with graphs, thoughts and probably rants.

I hope people find this journey interesting and if anyone has any constructive criticism, or outright trolling; it is all welcome!
