40K hands in a month is a sick target, even for Zoom. Personally I found that giving volume targets just encouraged me to try and play when I should not have been playing. As long as you can aviod that though and do take breaks when you know you need them I reckon you will do well.
Good luck with it.

Its about 40 hours worth as can get through 1K hands per hour 3tabling 6 max zoom.
I have taken to playing 1K hand sessions with a 5 min break after 500 hands. Its been fairly easy so far but expect I may struggle this week as lots of other stuff going on. I am sure I will get to the target though - might even take me to Silverstar.
I like volume targets although agree that it can lead to playing when we shouldn"t be. I usually play fairly long tourney sessions anyway though so this seems much easier. I always need the motivation though.
If anyone has a spare 5 minutes today read Olivier Busquet"s latest blog entry - http://olivierbusquet.com/Blog/
So many talented writers and great blogs in the poker industry.

I hate cash, why would anyone want to play cash? What seemed therapeutic last Saturday has quickly becoming mind numbingly boring. Yes we are losing.
Challenge cancelled as got a couple of busy weekends coming up and would rather play tourneys. Got through 10K hands, not that volume was really the issue.
Also my girlfriend is unwell and has been signed off from work so I am going to be the caring boyfriend. My poor parents house below...
First one taken from the roof looking forward:-
and the back garden:-
I wish I lived closer to my home as my parents are both really distraught. The bottom floor of the house needs to be completely gutted as was under 1ft of water. All that water in the back garden got their through the lounge! It seems they will not be able to move back in for potentially 18 months. :(

Shocking, really feel for anyone caught out in those circumstances.
