Rebuild Mode: $100K Challenge | Discipline. Consistency. Redemption.

�� October Goals

• 36.5h so far — currently +$624
• Minimum goal: 105h total
• Medium goal: 120h total
• Stretch goal: 136.5h total

Nice work, gl at the tables. Will be following

First update!

Day 1 of the blog. 12 October:

Hours played: 2h
Profit: +$216
Focus rating: 8.5/10 — first session was pure flow (10/10), second one dropped to around 6/10.
Current bankroll: $4,323 / $100,000 goal
October progress: 38.5h / 105h (minimum goal)

Today was short but meaningful. I played only two hours because when I grind, I want to be 100% focused — not half-present.
Tomorrow I’m finalizing my divorce, and to be honest, my heart is still broken. I’m also fighting a mild cold.
It’s a strange feeling: the end of one chapter and the start of another.

My main goal right now is to rebuild the mental stamina to stay focused for long hours — to play exploitative, deliberate, and aware, without autopilot. That’s what separates an average player from a crusher.

Supplements update:
Currently taking Vitamin D3+K2, Zinc, Magnesium Glycinate, Omega-3, Creatine, Protein (for gym recovery), and Ashwagandha.
I’ll experiment soon with new nootropic stacks for focus and mental performance and share the results here.

Every day is a small brick in a much bigger foundation. Discipline over everything.

Good luck!

Thank you! GLGL

Day 2 of the blog:

Profit: +$143
Hours: 3.5h
Bankroll: $4,180 / $100,000
Total hours: 42h / 105h (October goal)
Cashout: $295

Yesterday was a strange day.
I signed the divorce papers — an ending, but also the start of something I’ve been working toward internally for months: peace.
There was sadness, relief, and heartbreak all at once… but also a quiet clarity.

Even with everything going on, I managed to stay present.
Got 3.5h of grind in, focus level 7.5/10, and stayed composed through the sessions.
Also hit the gym — only trained back (skipped biceps) since I’m still recovering from this cold, but at least I showed up.

Today I’m taking my kids with me for the day — but I still plan to grind minimum 4h after.
The goal isn’t perfection anymore. It’s consistency, focus, and forward motion.

Update 3:

Bankroll: $4,101 / $100,000
Hours: 4h (Total October: 46h / 105h min goal)
Profit: –$77
Focus rating: 6/10

Today felt a bit scattered — that subtle “falling behind” pressure crept in and leaked into decision quality.
A few key spots were rushed and emotional, which cost some EV and the day’s profit.
Still, 4 hours logged — the structure remains intact, and that’s what really builds long-term momentum.

Tomorrow’s focus: return to precision and presence.
Detach from outcomes, play clean, rebuild rhythm through calm decisions.

Discipline Notes
• Gym: chest day completed
• Supplements: all taken as usual (D3K2, Zinc, Omega-3, Magnesium, Creatine, Ashwagandha)
• Energy: stable but a bit mentally foggy — need a tighter warm-up before sessions tomorrow
• Spent time with the kids

Update 4:

Bankroll: 4077$/100k
Hours: 4h
Profit: -24$
Focus: 7/10

Why the **** is it so hard to grind 2-3 h straight while keeping full focus?
That’s the real battle not the cards.
After 30–40 minutes, the mind starts drifting and that’s when tilt sneaks in.
Mental game mastery , that’s the next wall to break.

Went to the gym (arm day), took all supplements, ate solid.
Tomorrow: aiming for 5 h of pure focus.
No distractions. No excuses. Just execution.

Some days you just wanna give up.
People around you make you feel like **** even when you’ve been giving your best lately.
It breaks your rhythm, it messes with your focus, it makes you question everything , yourself, your strength, your purpose.

Today I felt weak. I doubted if I can really do this, if I can keep going through all the noise and chaos around me.

Cut those people off and focus only and only on yourself. Its your journey and feeling weak POS sometimes is also part of the journey. Stay hard!

Appreciate it man! It means something hearing this from fellow grinders.

We keep moving forward,some days hit hard but thats part of the process.

Update 5:

Profit: $145
Hours: 5h
Focus: 7/10
Bankroll: $4164/100k
Cashout: $60

Trying to stay perfectly focused during all sessions isn’t realistic right now. I need to build stamina for longer grinds, even if it’s B-game or sometimes C-game, as long as I’m still playing profitable poker. My perfectionism has been working against me, and I need to fix that fast.

The next few days I’ve got a break from the gym and no other responsibilities — time to make the most of it.

Update 6:

Profit: $1575
Hours: 4h
Focus: 9/10
Bankroll: $5739/100k

Today I finally locked in.
I got in the zone early, ran good at my main stake, then noticed higher tables were soft and took a few cautious shots. Ended up running even better.

Between sessions I went for long walks, cleared my head, and stayed fully present.
I probably played more total time, but I’m only logging 4 focused hours since at times I was on just a couple of tables.

I’m super grateful for this day.
Tomorrow I’ll return to my regular stake. I’m rolled to move up, but I can’t afford to lose focus or discipline.
If I jump higher again, it will be only when I’m fully in the zone and the tables feel right.

Update 7:

Profit: $44
Hours: 4h
Focus: 7/10
Bankroll: $5685/100k
Cashout:100$

Today went pretty smoothly, I played around 4 hours and felt solid overall.
Still, I wasn’t fully locked in — some thoughts about my ex were creeping in here and there, which distracted me a bit from the action.
Even so, I’d rate it a B or maybe a B+ game.
Tomorrow I’ll hit the gym and spend a few hours with my kids before going back to grind mode.

Update 8:

Profit: $56
Hours: 5h
Focus:7.5-8/10
Bankroll: $5741/100k

Played 5 solid hours today. Didn’t run great in key spots ,could’ve been up a lot more ,but I’m happy with my game overall.
Feeling a bit foggy in the evenings lately, even though I wake up around 12–12:30. Probably the gym sessions draining a bit, but I’ll test soon some nootropics besides the creatine and other supplements I’m already taking.
Overall, good day. Happy I managed to push the volume higher and stay consistent.

From now on I’ll post once per week instead of daily.
I want every update to be deeper not just about results, but about the process, discipline, emotions, mental game, and adjustments.
The blog will be the place where I track the bigger picture hours, profit, mindset, and progress toward the 100k goal.

The mission stays the same:
Master discipline, volume, and focus one week at a time.

Weekly Update – Staying Grounded Through Chaos

Profit: - $110
Hours: 22.5
Total Hours This Month: 85.5
Bankroll: $4163/100k
Cashout: $1368

It was a crazy week.
I was doing okay until the last couple of days when I got attacked by my ex-wife, even though I’ve been doing exactly what we agreed regarding the kids, and even more on top.
I realized I just have to stay grounded and not react at all, because she’s unstable and not my responsibility anymore.

I could’ve played a lot more and a bit better overall.
I’d rate my focus and quality of play this week around 6.5 / 10.
I have 5 days left in the month, and I’m free most of them, so my plan is to grind hard, exceed 105 hours, and play focused, solid poker.

Even the people you once thought were closest to you can turn their back that’s reality.
At the end of the day, you only have yourself to rely on.
So become the kind of man the people you truly love can count on.

I’ll be back in 5 days with the monthly summary and my goals for November.
Stay focused, guys.

Why do you cash out everytime, I don't understand the thinking.
Gl

I dont have other sources of income. I needed to cover rent and other stuff for next month so that i dont stress about it if i hit a downswing

Hey guys, update time.

The last week of October and the first week of November threw me off because of some external factors.
I won't get into the details again, they’re behind me now.

What matters is this:
I finally rebuilt my center, got my mind back, and I’m now focused on developing a long-term structure of discipline so I can hit my 100k goal.

To make it happen, I need to be a professional in every possible way — not just with the cards, but with my life.

�� Current structure

Right now my routine looks like this:

Gym 4–5 times a week

45 hours of grinding per week (non-negotiable)

3 days a week with the kids (4–5 hours each day)

Eating at home, high protein, no takeout

Waking and sleeping at the same hours

Daily supplementation + light nootropics for focus and consistency

I just finished Week 1 (Nov 10–16).
Feels good. Feels like I’m finally in control again.

It’s hard.
I’m mentally fatigued sometimes.
But this is exactly what I need to build:
the stamina and the discipline muscles so this becomes my new standard.

�� Final October Update

I didn’t manage to hit the 105h minimum target.

Here are the real numbers:

88 hours played

$2,561 profit

$1,839 in cashouts

�� November so far

$1,867 profit

57 hours played

The best part is that I feel momentum again.

�� Notes going forward

I’ll be updating every Sunday from now on.

I’m experimenting with some nootropics that help focus and allow me to grind longer, but right now my priority is simply getting the hours in.

Sometimes that means cutting down on tables if I’m not fully in flow, because consistency beats intensity at this stage.

GL guys, crush it, and see you next week.

We keep the 100k challenge alive.

Week 3 – November Update

This week I played 35 hours and made $986 profit, for an hourly of $28.1/h.

The goal was 45 hours, but I derailed in the last two days. No biggie. I worked through it mentally, understood what happened, and I’m fully locked in for the final week of November.

Goals for the last week of the month:

45 hours played

Minimum 4 gym sessions

Minimum 5 days eating clean

Daily vitamins + supplements

Stay disciplined, structured, and focused

I’m building the foundation for long-term consistency and a 100k mindset.
Good luck guys — keep grinding.

Poker is mentally fatiguing, nobody knows, you work yourself to death, you think itll get to be on par to the standard of deviation of futures/trading

Week 4 of November – Wrap-up

38.5/45h hours played
$2,800 profit
$72.7/hour

This week wasn’t perfect.
I lost focus at times, got pulled emotionally, and I definitely could’ve kept my structure tighter.

But even with the ups and downs, I showed up, pushed through, and closed the week strong, with one of my best days of the month.

It’s a reminder that I’m on the right path, but there’s still work to do.

November Results

131 hours played
$5,642 profit
$43.1/hour

A good month overall.
Not flawless, not maximum discipline, but solid progress.
The results tell me that when I stay consistent, the profit follows naturally.

The main lesson:
emotional distractions slow me down but structure and calm push me forward.

December is about tightening the screws.

December Gameplan
Week 1 (Dec 1–7)

30–35 hours
– Focus on cleaner eating, gym, rest.
– Reset the body and mind after a chaotic November.
– Build rhythm, not perfection.

Week 2 (Dec 8–14)

45 hours grind
– Full focus, minimal distractions.
– If Week 1 goes well: add shots at higher stake.
– Keep emotions out of the decision-making.

Week 3–4

Adjust based on energy, kids’ events, and run quality.
Main priority: steady hours + good decision quality.

Final Note

I’m improving, step by step.
Still far from the level I want but closer than last month.

December is not about being perfect.
It’s about being better.

LFG.
