Getting the grinding going
Been a bit inspired by the grindcore 200bi in a month challenge. I'm going to try get a ton of hands in this month myself and see what happens. I'm not really wanting to set a monetary goal, more just something like x number of hands this month would be better. I've still been studying a ton and I can see the improvements in my game, my c game definitely wins me money at 100nl/200nl zoom now, something I don't think was the case previously. The mental game work I've been doing with Tendler has most certainly helped a ton here.
What do you think a reasonable monthly hand goal would be? Keep in
mind I can only play 3 tables of zoom max (4 on good
energy/concentration days).
Also played a funny hand the other day:

UTG shows 7 T (two pair, Kings and Eights)

How do I not win all the pot here!?!? :P

Go for 300BI.

Shuttle - with zoom do you think there could be a massive edge in always control-folding, as in never leaving a table before the hand is finished? Obviously you'd lose some volume, but gain so much info.
I want to see you do 200,000 hands of zoom in a month -only about 7000 hands a day! Out grind Grindcore.

The control folding can be really good sometimes I'd say especially at the higher stakes.
I played 4.5k hands today, I kinda doubt I could keep that pace up for a month.

100k hands would only be a little over 3k a day, is that a decent target?

4 tabling Zoom, 3k hands is like 3 hours.

I get like 750 hands/hour cause I play slow...

how's it going hands wise and play wise so far?

Standard of play has been high but volume has been brutalized by having a bunch of real life stuff pop up like having to move houses.

Got 4k hand in today, so that was a relief. Also did a session with Tendler about volume/goal setting, was very interesting.

And 4k more hands today

Hey good luck mate whatever your goals are. I haven't forgotten about that thing you asked for. It's crazy at the moment but I will do it soon.
Take care.

I wouldn't have imagined that you would have forgot, I know you are a very busy man!
