rgold79 0 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 January Goals:5K+ cash hands (enough to keep up Goldstar on Stars at least)+$1500 at .5/1 and 1/2 NLAny positive ROI in MTTsI'm trying to set the bar reasonably low for the first month of the year so I can get off on a positive footing.

Zach6668 513 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm up $800 in the first 3 days... so... I guess that means I'm on pace for an $8k month?Seriously, I'm not really going for a certain amount by the end of the month, as I've staked before, I need to gross 12.5K by April 30th, so that's ~3k/month average. I really don't think that will be difficult to do with rakeback, and my newfuond love of bonus whoring.I have certain monetary goals that only have the time aspect being "as soon as possible", as I will be forced to cash out a little bit at first, before I get to 100% BR building/living off of my winnings.So, for the month, starting BR was $1000. The following are my specific BR targets.1) $1000-$2500 - Withdraw $1000 for school books and to pay my friend back the money I owe him. This, obviously needs to be done as fast as possible. I'm already over half way there, and I have like $600 in rakeback due by the 15th, so I figure that I should hit the goal by then at the latest. Of course, this will leave me enough to play 2/4 and 3/6 LHE still.2) $1500-$2500 - Withdraw $1000 to pay off Visa balance. Again, leaving me enough to play 2/4 and 3/6.3) $1500 - $5500 - Withdraw $2500 for tuition this month, which is already nice and late. This leaves me with a $3k BR to play 2/4 to 5/10.4) $3000 - $9000 - This is the last phase. After this, I will be withdrawing whatever my first/last month's rent will be when I get my own place, away from Thunder Bay, and also, I will take out about $2500 for savings/living expense to have, as I plan on playing poker to provide most of my income. My estimates would leave me with about a $5000 BR, which I could play anywhere from 2/4 to 5/10 full, and maybe some short if I find a way to regain my confidence in that game.Anywho, this is because I'm bored at work.- Zach Link to post Share on other sites
Highlow16 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 10K hands at .5-1.00 NL 50 MTTs 50 $100 HUmiscelaneous mixed gamesI will probably end up playing more tournaments and less than 10K cash hands cause i always seem to do that but we will see. Dont want to post what results i expect because im trying to not get too wrapped up in it. I think i just may check where im at Feb 1 and see. Id like to move up to 1-2 NL but Im gonna stick to the 45 buy in rule so hopefully i get there sooner than later if i stop pulling money out of my roll! Yeah... thats gonna happen.

Zach6668 513 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Can anyone explain to my why I can't win a goddamn hand at 5/10...ever?I'm playing 4 tables at the moment on a pretty low traffic site, especiallty at full ring LHE.Anywho.5/10 - ($130)4/8 - $1413/6 - $8.502/4 - $92.24lol, also, the only losing day I've had in my DB since returning to LHE on 12/9 is the day I took a shot at 5/10, and lost like 60 BBs. Weeeeeeeeeeee. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 C'mon Zach. 13 BB? You're basically break-even. If your point was that you've played 10K hands, and you're still breaking even, I guess that could be considered running bad, but somehow, I really doubt that's what you were going for.

sealster 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well december pushed me to the limit as I finally had things fall apart. A stupid move up to get my money back ended up wiping out my stars balance. So this month I want to just get back on my feet and enjoy that I get to play this game I love and make a few bucks off of it. I won 215 T$ with some of my fpps so I'm working on getting that up. Hopefully get in enough hands for at least silverstar and beat up the o8 games as long as I can afford them. Hopefully I can get it back to like 700-1k range by the end of the month and just have fun with poker. Link to post Share on other sites
DNFan16 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not even going to lie. I wasnt going to post my goals because I play such low stakes compared to mostly everyone. But i want to get up to 1k by the end of this month. I started with 50 and am up to 100 in 2 days. I just hope i can win more because Im going to the Detroit Carshow in 2 weeks and will be missing 4 days of playing time. Want to move up cash game stakes to .10/.25 soon. I hate playing low stakes. Im a win it quick kinda guy and hate playing low stakes. I guess thats what I got to do. Want to win another MTT and a few 4.40s. Sit n gos i want to play alot of Hus. A variety of them.If i make the 1k, i will be so happy and know I can do this until i get enough money for Eagles tickets! Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 I've been so unmotivated lately. Haven't played a hand since my big robusto 50/100 session December 30. Part of it's that I've been pretty sick the last few days with a nasty sore throat and head cold, but part of it's that I just really haven't felt motivated. It's weird when you get to that place where you feel really comfortable with how much money you have and feel like you just don't need to earn any right now. I was going to go on a spending spree and buy a bunch of TV series on DVD and a new wardrobe to get myself motivated again, but that doesn't really work when you don't feel like leaving the house. Also, I cashed out from Bodog to Neteller and then forgot to cashout from Neteller to my bank account until yesterday so I really don't have any money I can actually get my hands on right now.

TheCinciKid 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I can't really play a ton of hands at once like some people. Even playing 4-5 tables my sessions tend to only be 300-400 hands. I still think I have a good chance to get in 6k-8k hands this month. I've been mixing 2 tables of 1/2 SH with 2-3 tables of 2/4 FR lately and it's working out ok. I'm not up a ton, but I've had some bad sessions too and I'm earning solid rakeback which is really the most important thing to me.I did just have a pretty fun session of a little over an hour and 380 or so hands. Got down almost $100 playing 2 1/2 SH and 3 2/4 FR, then turned it around to end the session up about $55, so that was a nice little roller coaster ride. I swear though, I hate the swings of poker and I dunno if I'll ever be able to handle playing a level much higher than 2/4 on a consistent basis. Just too emotionally draining.
