December Goals


Recommended Posts

novemberob0.jpg+ ~700 in rakeback.So I called it a month tonight. Wanted to try to get to 60k hands, but don't want to have to try to play 4k tomorrow so just wrappin it up now.Pretty upset with how it went, ran terrible while taking a shot at 100nl and was on a nice breakeven stretch at 50nl that wouldn't allow me to recoup my 100nl losses.Oh well. December will be better.Played my first live casino session tonight to help prepare for Vegas in the middle of the month and to just switch it up a little bit. Ended up booking a $425 profit in 4.5hrs.December will be a good month though!!!December goals:40K handsMove up so that at least 2/3 of my play will be at 100nl starting in January.Win moniesHave fun in VegasWin monies in VegasSurvive VegasMake sure I make at least bronze Ironman to lock up some decent bonus to clear for Jan.

I didn't make any goals for October. The end of August I started on a $93 bank roll using Chris Ferguson's 5% of BR in cash/sng's and 2% for MTT's.My roll is currently $384 and I'm delighted at the minute.Novembers goals:50 SNG's mainly in the 3.25 18 man turbo SNG's - FAILFinal table a large MTT - PASS (came 3rd in a 1,200 man 6 max MTT for $226) woop woopBreak the $400 marker - PASS with ease: my roll reached $550 before withdrawing $350, roll now $200 to start new month.Profit +$30 - PASSTalk about setting really easy goals. For some reason I thought this was for a week not a month lol.December goals:1.) Get my roll over $3002.) Play 100 SNG's in any given week to qualify for high volume BOTP leaderboards (I will probs play $1.75/$3.25 18 man SNG's)3.) Run deep in the Sunday 200k event (my best score is 121st out of 25,000 for $278)Keep it straight forward again.

Okay well I didn't really have any goals in November, I was pretty down on my play at the time. As for the month itself...well, I'll let the graph speak for itself.november.pngSo yeah...not fun. But I'm about +$40 on the month with rakeback and I'm up a Stox Poker Membership and the $80 that is HEM. Thank you, rakeback. I guess I can't complain but I'd still like to, because I feel like I'm going around in circles. The other problem, even though the month is a profit is that I started last month with 11 BI or something, so it's not like I can fade a downswing too easily right now. Blehhhh.so this month

  • 60k hands
  • Ironman (yeah, at 10NL, gogogogogo)
  • Learn how to not swing more than a jazz band
  • Keep improving
  • Get less lazy and organise some sweats and stuff
  • Stay confident, they can't keep you down

Wow started to forget about this thread... have barely played poker at all in the past few months due to excess drinking/girls/college life. Grinded past few days over Thanksgiving break and up like 6 BIs in ~1500 hands at 50NL6. Will post reasonable and bigger goals later today in hope as a spark for motivation and more money. With Xmas break coming, I am starting to retain the motivation and right attitude to put in serious volume and make real money over break.

Had kind of a mediocre November. Could never really get much going playing hu - finished the month there with 8k hands and down exactly 1 buyin. The action at hu isn't as donkish as it was even 3-4 months ago, so I started mixing in some plo the last week of the month. Here's the graph for that:ploep4.jpgSo for December, I have a few goals. 20k hands total between hu and plo, and to earn ironman on ftp. Might also mix in a donkament here and there but not setting any goals for that.Good luck everyone.

october.jpgOnly played about 4k hands this month. I think i played pretty well despite being break even for the first 2.5k hands and the end of the month really picked up.. I've also gotten used to 4tabling 6max and am comfortable doing it. Goals for November[x]Play more poker [x]Play less fallout3 [x]play less warhammer online [x]stay in the green again [x]Hopefully have the BR for 25nl within the next month or 2
november08pi1.jpgGoals for december Play at least 7500 handsStay at 10NL and stay in the green to take a shot at 25nl come january

Failed already, cashed out as I can't control my tilt so I hit the cash out button. My new aim is to build a roll from $0. I like challenges. December goals: Have at least $1 in my account from PS and FT lol. Will have 1,000 fpp's on PS and I'm using the last of my FTP's on FT.GL me lol.

-No cashouts - move up - Cashed out some when on lft in middle of month-500 180 mans - hopefully maintain/improve the ~100% ROI on 4.40s and start playing alot of $11s and $22s. - played 339 @ 45% ROI/$676.32, cashed in 0/12 $11s/$22s, made about $400 on $12 turbos-Make solid ROI from 20 tabling $16 single table turbos. - got bored of doing these after going from even to +$300 to even to -$100 to +$200 to even. Made a ton of FPPs though!-FT a big MTT- lol-Goldstar? - half way-$2.5k profit - about $760Maintain a decent routine (3/4 days a week) - Saturday/Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday. - kindaStick to my promise to myself to do decent work for university on Wednesdays - kindaBuy a new razor. - yes!
So yea, I had a mini life crisis in the middle of the month so I was really unmotivated to do much poker volume.. This also was at the same time I was running beyond awful. The 2 things probably affected my play badly for a while. I think I was about $500 below expectation on 4.40s this month which isn't fun. Ran pretty well in the $12 turbos for a nice profit. Ran blegh deep in MTTs- I think I managed to go on a 34 non cashing streak in the middle of the month too. Been taking some small shots recently and going fairly well - definitely convinced me I can beat the $11Rs/$55s for the day I'm hopefully fully rolled to - the play was fairly dire.Goals for December-DO NOT CASH OUT-Run good in 4.40s! - maintain 100% ROI over 250+-Profit from $11s/$22s I play-Play more MTTs - get a 4 figure score (one can hope)-Maintain silverstarBarring a big score I can't see me moving up too much this month - doubt I'll play nearly as much as I could

No December goals for this?? :club: I started out this month with 0 in the Pstars bank and won a few freeroll dollars on the way. I'm in the process of moving cities so redepositing isn't at the top of my list. I only have a few dollars in there now so I"m making a goal of grinding the low LH. Hopefully enough to move up to .05/.10 level. Mixing in a few micro SNG's/MTT's for fun. That is all.

had a damn good month started off doing 11 and 5.50 sngs and just tore up for the first couple hundred then cooled off over this last 500. I would be pretty much little better than break even (maybe 5%-8% roi at a net profit of around 500$ over 1000 sngs) but I ran like god in the few donkaments I decided to play, so I think I'm up about 1500$ this month not bad as this was the first big month of volume since my 6 month hiatus. Oh I also got lv. 4 vpip on Cereus but at a cost of around 100$ at low limit ring that I promised myself I'd never touch ever again :)this month I think I'm rolled for the 22's but I'm still gonna stick around the 11s for a lil while I have heads up leaks I'm going to look at plugging up.Oh last thing I'll add is after never playing any tournament or sng more than 22$ I ended up taking a 200$ shot at FTOP seats culminating in a 100$ horse satt into the FTOPS 14 that taught me that I pretty much have balls of steel. that was 20% of my br at the time looool and my FT sharkscope shows that perfectly.
