Jordan 1 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 May results:In HU cash games I played 16,177 hands and ran at 13.54ptbb/100. I didn't play much the last week and a half. I've been spending a lot of time with this girl and it really has cut down on my play. I also have finals so yea.Graph:My overall Cash game graph:So, overall cash games I was +$4,649.45. I also earned $247.68 in rake back. Bringing my cash game totals to $4,897.13.For Donkaments:+$9,245.23Total profit:>>>>>> edit -- my profits are actually closer to $15k, so that's a good edit. lolMy donkaments may be a little off, I may be up a bit more cause I subtracted some buy-ins from when I was staked...but I think it's close to being right. I had a little negative variance at the end of the month, and lost about $1k. Sigh. Still a very good month back.----June Goals:I may continue to play $100nl HU for a while, although I should move up to $200nl HU, which I will this month. Regardless, I'd like to win 50 buy-ins total HU at any limit, not excluding mixing the two.Donkaments: I'd like to have another positive month of donkaments. Anytime you finish a month up on the positive side of MTT variance, that's a good month.Monetary goal: $5-$10k profits.----GL2U. Don't worry about $ too much, just try to play well and make good decisions.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan 1 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I want to also add I wanted to win 40 buy-ins HU in May, which I did. Once I got to that point I wanted to get to 50-60, nearly got to 50 then dropped...and then I hardly played. So, I'm happy that I met my 40 buy-in goal...but I def. think I could have gotten to 60 had I played more.The interesting thing about June will be how much I play. I've been spending time with this girl a pretty good amount and it's been cutting back on my play. I'm also taking summer courses and going to mexico for a week.el- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites

I lost 10ish buyins and then played some donkaments, went deep a few times for about $300 profit.I am cashing out my roll, I think I am going to learn some games at micro stakes. I am starting a business renting gaming tables, I just ordered 2k worth of chairs and 3k in poker tables so I hope it works... good luck guys. Link to post Share on other sites
meservery 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 All of my poker playing goals have been unrealistic. My new goal is to reach 1K in forum posts. I need to average 11.5 posts/day. I plan to bump many threads, +1 the soon to be locked ones, and start many a flame war.Non poker related goals are to find a pea coat, punch someone in the face, and run someone off the road for driving to slow in the left hand lane.I failedJune Goal:I've got lots of money to burn so... play mostly MTTs in the $10-$30 range. Win one maybe?Good Luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Royal_Tour 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Jordan, whats ur "donkaments" profits from?? its different than your cash game graphs?My May Goals went well.I didnt play as often as i wanted, only about 20hrs a week. But I managed to basically reach my goals. As you see in my signature.The goal was to be at 2500 once i deposited online. well the deposit hasnt gone my way, My banks tell me i cant use visa now, neteller is gone, so now i'm looking at moneybookers.Hoefully for June, I'll play more live. closer 30 hours a week. and 20 hours a week online. for the Royal Run i want/need to be at 4500 by the end of this month. If i can get over 5k. so a profit of 2800+ i'll be happycheersand good luck all Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 RT,Look into Click2Pay. You just load it with a credit card, and yours might work for it.It's amazingly fast for moving money around, but I don't use it to cashout, since the checks take a long time, and come from Germany in EUROS, but it's still great for moving money around, and I had an easy time depositing with it.

Jordan 1 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Jordan, whats ur "donkaments" profits from?? its different than your cash game graphs?My May Goals went well.I won the $22k on ftp, took 4th it another time (riggerdom), took 4th in the 100k on stars, which paid out 9.2k right there, but I was staked (also ending my stakeage)...and then some other smaller cashes.I have no graph for donkaments. I don't know if you can do one, so yes those graphs are just cash games...I track my mtt results just using notepad.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Sparco 2 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My goals for June: Get a positive ROI, at least for the month, but hopefully also "lifetime", though that expression feels like a bit of an overstatement. I started to practice 2-tabling SNG's a while ago (I'm mainly a small stakes SNG and MTT player) and my ROI has dropped quite a bit since then. However, I feel I'm slowly getting the hang of it, so I hope June will be the month where I turn the graph upwards. In May, I won my first $4 180-player SNG on Stars, which was quite an enjoyable experience. The main goal for June will be to keep performing well in those, say with 2 or 3 final tables. I recently discovered the $3+R $10.000 guaranteed tournament on Stars, and enjoy playing that one a lot. Goal for June: to finish in the money in 25% of the ones I play. Finish in the money in one of the Sunday tournaments here at the Paris casino. These are 80-player tournaments with the top 9 places payed; so far I've played 2 and come in 17th and 39th place. Well, I'll probably have only one chance to play in one of those in June, so this one is more like a "summer goal". Start lurking around a bit less, and posting on this forum a bit more. Let's see if I can get my enormous number of 5 posts up to 15. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 well, I barely had a winning month of may with getting in 23K hands in the last two weeks since I took the first two weeks off. most of my play was at 2/4 and I got in like 2300 hands at 3/6(where I'm down like 65 BBs overall, not a big deal). Took some time to really examine my play since I got back in the swing and I fixed some leaks that I had before and am aiming for a big june. So, my hope for june is to get in 45-60K hands and bring myself up to playing 3/6 and 5/10 SHLHE. I should be able to reach that if I avg 1.5-1.75 BB/100 and really get on with things.

Alex916F 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 well this month has definately been a success... early on i was running like crap and not liking my play so i suspended myself for a week just to freshen up and get away. Once a returned to 50NL it was an up and down battle but I have really gotten into a stride this past week. it felt like last Tues. I had an epiphany when it comes to cash games and ever since then i have ran my br up quite a bit. the beginning of this month i had a 1200 dollar br swung down to just above 1k and now right after i have logged off of PS i have 1990 dollars. I am about to move up to 100NL full ring and will start concentrating on 6max 50NL. this month i mixed up omaha (10NL) and felt like I had a good hold on the game but definately need work.Another goal i had this month was to do good record keeping which unfortunately I slacked on. I started out recording with PT and purchased PAHUD but I dont have a computer of my own so i bounce from my roommates and my parents cpu so i use a flash drive with all my programs and preferences. Using a flash drive screws up the PT and I just have not felt like trying to figure it out. And i ordered PAHUD mid month and they still havent sent me my activation code. so yea... i have to get on that. June Goals:begin to beat 100NLbegin to beat 6 Max 50NLbegin to beat 6 Max 25NL OmahaKeep recordsBecome GoldstarAnd FT a damn tourny that is worth a damn not some 180 man...

timwakefield 68 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 May: + about $5k in tournaments, bringning my bankroll (after a withdrawal) to $4.5k . Goal for June is simple. Win a tournament, or more specifically win the $55k gtd. Last 6 weeks or so I have finished 2nd in 3 different tourneys (all relatively small PLO tourneys, first place ~ $800), and recently finished 4th and then 8th in the 55k. BRING IT ON JUNE!

rgold79 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 May Goals50 STT, same limit with a positive ROI.Nope. Played a grand total of 2. Finished 3rd in one and bricked the other. Net$: (0.80) Net ROI: -11.763500 micro NL cash hands with a solid winrate.I exceeded my hands goal and finished the month ahead. I really would like some feedback on the overall numbers I'm putting up and would love it if someone would be interested in reviewing my PT numbers.5421 hands. Net$: 54.35 (Almost exactly $0.01 per hand). Net ptbb/100: 3.66At $10NL, which was my primary focus I played 5295 hands at a ptbb/100 of 2.66. Since I started playing micro at this level in April I've played 7825 hands at a ptbb/100 of 2.67. For comparisons sake in that time I've played a sample 1/10th that size at $25NL and my winrate there is 35ptbb/100. Like I said if anyone is interested in offering me some feedback please let me know.June GoalsI'm headed to the WSOP next thursday. Not sure what to expect but goal number 1 is to make the WSOP trip profitable. I'm going to be concentrating mainly on the side games and the satellites but I will definitely play at least one event and maybe more depending on how I think I'm playing.Online I'm going to stick with $10NL and try to show a consistent profit. Tomorrow is my last day at my job and then I have all summer before heading to graduate school in the fall. I think 10K hands for June is a good number to shoot for and I'd like to win 10 buyins over that period. Good luck to everyone this coming month! Link to post Share on other sites

pokerfan1080 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 May goal was to have a winning month....... results: failed, I broke even.Poker has been extremely frustrating for the last few months. I'm playing tight aggressive poker, but the donks are hitting their weak starting hands and I'm missing. Even when I have monster starting hands the A rag donks are hitting A's against my KK, QQ hands, or even hitting their rag vs my AK, AQ, etc. And, the coolers are getting worse. Three times within about an hour the other night I lost to set over set. There's just nothing that I can do about the losses I've had. Here's a really good one, I lost with AA the other night on an A39 rainbow flop. Preflop villain made a standard 3BB raise, I re-raise to 10BB, villain calls 7BB. Villain pots the flop, I re-raise, villain pushes, I call. Villain has 33 and hits his one outer on the turn, gg me. That's been standard for me over the last many months.To be completely honest, my interest in poker has been starting to decay, probably from the bad luck I've had over the last few months. And about a week ago I've began to look into another hobbie of mine that has been on the back burner for a while, photography. I've just purchased some new gear and will be devoting alot of my time to learning the new gear. Poker will no doubt take a back seat for a while. But I will probably play enough to keep silver star status on stars, as well as play some on Absolute for a little rakeback.So, my goals for June are to take it easy and play when I have the chance to. No tangible goals, just have some fun.GL everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 June Goals1. Make enough to pay my bills.2. Get off the stake and get back to playing on my own money.Ideally, I'd like to head down to Vegas for the World Series if I can hit an online donkament or something to finance it, as I've got 3 free nights waiting for me at the Bellagio if I get a little bit of a bankroll together. Barring some MTT luck or a generous stake however, I think fulfilling the above goals is about as ambitious as I can get. Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't had to cash out from either since losing Neteller. I pretty much only play at AP now.What site are SH LHEing on?Are you not still doing the Cryptos? What is your AP/Bonus/RB rate playing SH on AP? I've been disappointed both my game availability and bonus rate there. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Are you not still doing the Cryptos? What is your AP/Bonus/RB rate playing SH on AP? I've been disappointed both my game availability and bonus rate there.No, Cryptos are too hard.Bonus + RB + ARP at AP may be slightly less than crypto, if it is, it's not much (if they keep it at 50 pts/$10... heard it was back up to 75, but I can't say for sure).The play at AP is terrible enough to counteract the slight deficit at Crypto, and IMO, it's not close.

Roberts2003 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 In May i made roughly 14 grand. 4K was from a tournament, the rest was cash games, mainly 2 4 NL 6 max and heads up. There was a week of May that i didnt play cause my account was suspended, and random days that i was unable to play.Bankroll so far-$35,200In June, I have a couple goals. I want to comfortably move to 3 6 NL within the next 2 weeks. I only have 2 more weeks of being able to play before i leave for the summer to New Hampshire on a lake, so i want to get in a good amount of hands in these next 2 weeks. I think 5K over the 2 weeks is a pretty safe goal, and thats what i will shoot for. The 2nd two weeks of June when I can't play I want to read up on Omaha and try to learn and get decent at the game. I feel like a 1 trick pony right now, the only thing i can play is NL Hold Em, and only 6 max or heads up.Strong 9 out Link to post Share on other sites
