$10,000 in 30 days

$10,000 in 30 days.

That's my self-issued challenge. I'm going to try to do it playing only 1-2 no limit. No tournaments or bigger games - just killing the same game 40 hour per week. In order to do it, three things have to happen :

1. I need to play well.
2. I have to play at least 40 hours per week.
3. I can't run bad - I don't have to be super lucky, just not really unlucky.

If I had to bet (I think about odds a lot), I'd make myself a 2-1 underdog to do this.It's basically $60 per hour for 40 hours for 4.5 weeks. That's a lot of grinding.

The reason I'm doing this is to see whether I am ready to make the kind of money I need to stay in this for the forseeable future. I want to be at around 10k per month. As of yet, I haven't made the kind of time sacrifices needed to do it - and that's fine. I've made enough to get by averaging 20-25 hours per week. I have to find out whether I can handle the mental grind of an increased playing schedule.

I'm going to upload some quick video blog updates detailing how I'm doing.

I have until October 22 to do it. Wish me luck!
