Year Zero:Week One Preview

I've decided to do a weekly preview blog, I may axe this feature as it becomes more of a grind at the tables but for now I think its necessary. As for regular features for this blog I will do this preview, a daily recap of my profits, VPP's, session structure, and if applicable interesting hands, and a weekly/monthly recap complete with graphs, total bankroll, VPP's, interesting hands and general thoughts on how the week went. And now on to the preview.

I've titled this "Year Zero" since I'm not making my actual journey to SNE next year, but this year lays the foundation for my run next year. Start time for my run will begin sometime tomorrow after 6PM(because of work). Now I will lay out my plan for the week, and will go day-by day showing my commitments and times where I can work in a grind.

My minimum goal is to play 30 hours, 500 hands an hour which should be doable at 6-tables. This week I will not try to add more tables while I'm still learning optimal lines for common situations. If possible I will play 40+ hours, but 30 is a good starting point and keeps me on pace. My current bankroll is $600. Now I will lay out a day by day schedule. So far work is the only locked in commitments, will probably have a social outing one night out of the week so will need to prepare for that either with extra morning grind or add a few hours to another night.

Monday-(work 9-5) In the morning I will do my basics like working out, browsing the intrawebz, and just general messing around until I prep for work and leave. Once home I will again browse internet/tv while eating, and then around 6 or so I will get right to it. Probably will stop grinding around midnight, hoping to get in a good 5 hours or so but will see how many breaks I need. Will have a quick review/blog and go to bed about a quarter to 1.

Tuesday-(work 9-5) regular morning stuff. After work I will start around 6 and hope to end around midnight and bed right after

Wednesday-(work 11-5) blog and review in morning, hopefully an hour or so of grind. Then another 6-midnight with blog/review after.

Thursday-(work 9-2) morning stuff, then 3-11 with a few breaks for chores and intrawebz browsing. blog review afterwards.

Friday-(work 9-2)-morning stuff, then another 3-10/11 depending on whether I go out or not. blog review after

Saturday-(day off) will hopefully wake around 7-8, so morning stuff and get an hour of grind in before 11. will then likely take most of day off and/or 2-4 table while watching football at uncles house. quick session review/blog + random football forum surfing and bed by 1.

Sunday-(work 9-5) regular morning stuff grind 6-11 and daily/weekly recap and bed a little after midnight.
