2 hard months of grinding

I want to play 130,000 in November and December combined. I also want to hit Supernova. Supernova players make up less than 1/10 of 1% percent of Poker Stars players. Poker Stars distributes points instead of rakeback. I want to save my points for as long as possible knowing that I can do multiple $1,500 bonuses. If I ever move out I will probably use the points for the 60 inch plasma television. I have been running at around 3.15bb/hr and I think my poor play has kept me from 5bb/hr. I know I have made some bad plays but also made some good ones.

Bill Belichick is the Coach of the New England Patriots and possibly the best coach in the history of Football. If you have never seen a post game press conference from Belichick then consider yourself lucky; he's boring, never happy about a win, and generally always thinks there were large errors in his teams play. Although no team ever plays a perfect game he expects it. I really think his attitude can be applied to viewing a poker session. He constantly strives to fix mistakes no matter how small they are. He was upset after the 52-7 win on Sunday because of 4 false starts (which is a lot). He was also upset about his specials teams players. His players are never excited and you can see it on their faces. With the score 38-0 a lineman jumped resulting in a false start and Tom Brady was ultra pissed off, cameras picked up a fuck thrown into his rant.

Can one win every single day playing poker? no. The point I'm making is to always find ways to improve, steal more blinds, check raise in certain spots, don't lead out on certain flops, etc. I had my biggest winning day this month in probably 6 months but yet felt I played very poorly and was upset with how I played. I know I cost myself some money in certain spots by making poor calls.

I plan to play another 2.5 hours today and about 4 hours tomorrow. With a strong November and December I will prove that I shouldn't return to school.
