$$$ goals suck.
 
okay. i would like to say that I'm an idiot for all these monetary goals. Im not doing the 90k in 100 days one, the million by the time i graduate one or anything. they are dumb and get me too wrapped around $ than playing good poker. Ya, u can all say u told me so.
i just want to play fucking poker and have fun while improving, and not get wrapped up about making money.

Money goals do suck, so does every day since September 4th.

umm
 

I told you so Just kidding JD glad to see this new goal of yours and I honestly think it will make you play better and not stress so much about making deadlines.

Considering how old you are...I'm amazed you didn't go buy a brand new car once you hit $100k.

At least it only took a couple months for you to make this realization about yourself. Better than grinding away and getting wrapped up in it and forgetting to have fun.

The only problem I see with this is that you only realize monetary goals suck when you are losing or falling short of them. When you are winning or ahead of schedule, you love them.

Now, if I'm completely off base here and you won like $15k yesterday but just decided you don't like the 90k in 100 days goal any more, great... but I suspect that just like with your blogS, you like updating when you are winning, but hate it and end up quitting when you are losing.

Yes?

lol yes.
but it makes me play worse when im behind, and chase my winnings, so i dont think its worth it.
