3-9

Hockey meetings finished today except for the banquet on Sunday. State tournament starts tonight, normally my favorite weekend on the year but being 10 minutes away from coaching in it I have mixed feelings. Will I still watch of every second of every game? Probably.

I have my weekly VPP goals mapped out to get to SNE by tryouts in mid-November. I want to be done then because besides hockey season being my busiest time of the year, December is a horrible month to try and play poker as all the pro grinders are playing 24/7 trying to get their yearly hands in. It creates slow, tough games where the VPP/hr rate is very low compared to the rest of the year. An hour in the summer is the equivalent of 2-3 hours in December. I will need to play about 40 hours a week to get to SNE. I know this sounds like a normal work week but an hour of poker playing 24 tables, 1,600 hands with massive $$ swings is very draining.

For my weekly goals, I am combining this week with how busy I am and next week with the family vacation. I will be at 115,500 points before I leave on vacation. Today I put in 1,650 points for a total of 92,000.
