I'm sorry if I'm stepping on anyones toes with this post, I will gladly concede if that is so, but I wrapped up June and didn't think putting my results in the June Goals thread would work.

Well, I wrapped up June. Gonna be busy all day tomorrow so I figured I'd play one more session and the call it a month.

I played full ring the first few days of the month, took a break in the middle, and then played 6-max the rest.

All-in-all, I still suck at poker, as you will be able to tell looking at my stats, and I just don't know what else to do.

Gonna be watchin a lot of vids comin up and hopefully somethin clicks soon. I have tried to make a goal for myself that if I am not showing significant progress by the time I go back to school in August, I am pretty much gonna just call it quits.

With that being said, here are my monthly graph and stats, yea, I know, I suck.

Well, I never used to be one to make and adhere to poker goals, but I'm really working toward becoming a better/successful player.

• 25-30K hands --- CHECK!
• At the end of the month, I'd like for that pesky little "Amount Won" column to look like this $$$$ and not ($$$$) --- somehow, God only knows, but, CHECK!!
• Move up levels --- FAIL!
• Make AT LEAST Silver Ironman Status. Anything less is purely unacceptable. I'd ideally like to make Iron, but I'm not sure how many days I'll be able to make 200pts. --- CHECK! (Silver)
• Try to get into 9man sngs more, especially when running poorly at cash. Hopefully 150-200. --- EPIC FAIL! (totally unrealistic)
• Survive 21st birthday and get into live poker for real. --- SURVIVED! CHECK!

Plus about another $175 in rakeback as well as a $75 bonus for making Bronze last month and Silver this month on FTP.

Still haven't decided on goals for July, gonna figure those out tomorrow hopefully.

I withdrew all of my money from my accounts and deposited $60 on Stars.

I'm going to include the last 2 days of June into July.

For July I want to:

1. Actually play. At least 100 SNGs per week should be attainable.
2. 20% ROI at the micro SNGs should be very easy.
3. Hopefully make the leaderboards for the BotP.
4. Run that $60 up to $500.
5. No MTTs. I just leak money in these and really should stop.

Started playing plo again - want to do that pretty much full time in July. Hope for 20-25k hands. I'm not going to set a monetary goal, however I'm going to set stats goals - play well - stats around 21/15/3. Good positionally aware aggressive poker. If I can do that for a month, the money will take care of itself.

Also going to keep hacking away on my tourney stake - have about 40 more to play - up $500 through the first 10 that I've played.

1) try to find a good job
2) if i cant find a good job play lots of poker (and maybe take a crappy part time job)

[simo_8ball]

This month was stupid. Played next to no hands and ran horribly, but made money.


Allin luck net run line:




Despite running ~14 buyins below allin equity, these are my PT stats (NL50 is all 6max on AP):

^^^^ You should play more $1NL, imfo

^^^^ You should play more $1NL, imfo

I'd just played that one quick session and was about to move up limits when as you can see, there was a little bit of a glitch:



I am going to start mixing 100nl in during July.

edited to include today

[babylondonks]

Okay, in the June goal thread I just said I want to play. So I achieved all my goals, hooray!

Here is the graph for the month



Goals for July:

• Play 15k hands
• Around 12 BB/100 (not sure about this one, but this means moving up limits by the end of the month, and hey, it's $.02)
• Run well in 4.40's for the challenge (one time!)
• Continue to dominate the $3 45 man SNG's (this is roll dependant, but if I can do decently in these it really helps)

Meh, we'll see how we go

goals

No specific goals, I have exams and assignments for uni this month that I'll be focusing on.

results

As usually happens when I shouldn't be playing, I played a fair bit and ran very good. I'm playing trackerless at the moment, but I estimate that I played somewhere between 25-30k hands and made about ~$3.6k. Definitely one of my best months. Made Platinum star again.

goals

Going to be busy for the first couple of weeks of this month but I really want to put in some hands and make a big stride towards making Supernova. At the very least must make Platinum star again, but hopefully at least 20k vpp. However not a strict goal, I really want to enjoy my holidays.

[ricardob]

--> 15k+ hands
--> beat 0.25/0.50
--> keep grinding my way out of micro limits on full ring

[Giggidy]

-Up aggression a little and analyze some PT stats when I have a better sample
-At the least break even at 10NL 6Max...
-Get more HH's on here and try n get better
-Watch more PokerVT

[SCS]

Goals for June are to play 15,000+ hands of 50nl 6max at a rate of 6BB/100. First part was a success, played 20,000 hands of 50nl. Unfortunately, I had a bad downstreak and ended down 16 buyins, so second part is an epic fail.

For July -

20,000 hands 50nl 6max
+6ptbb/100 winrate
Final table 1 MTT

I'm stealing parts of this plan because they're so good.

I won't make anywhere near 20k hands (I am going to be away for most of the month), but my goal will be to play for good stats on PLO and NLHE:
NLHE: Target 19/17/2
PLO: Target 23/15/3

[bdc30]

Good positionally aware aggressive poker.

I'm stealing parts of this plan because they're so good.

If you're going to steal a part of my goal, this is the one I would recommend. I'm not playing "to" the numbers so to speak, but over 20-25k hands they should show up around what I've given as a goal IF I can be disciplined and execute the good positionally aware aggressive game.

[AimHigher]

June Results:

~$315 in SNGs.
~$10 in tournies.
~$50 in $10NL cash over 7,500 hands.

This was my best month ever!

July Goals:

Suck less and buy PT3 before my copy expires!

[simo_8ball]

Suck less and buy PT3 before my copy expires!

Sigh.

PEV>Holdem Manager>PT3.

Get holdem manager instead. It's better.

[SuperJon]

Never done one of these before, figured it might help my discipline if I set some goals.


July Goals:

Play 5,000 hands of $2NL (6 max) and make $15

Play 1,500-2,000 hands of $2PLO (full ring) and make $20

[antistuff]

i broke 1k in cash before bonuses for the first time. i've been trying to do this for like two years. ended today at $1125.

[Acid_Knight]

June Goals:
Go to the beach on the 20th with Lindsey.
GET THE HOUSE THAT I OFFERED ON!!!!

Play 12k hands online.
Win $20k between live 5/10 NL and online heads up.
Play live poker.
Spend quality time with FCPers.

So, things didn't totally work out.

I met my hands goal and I'm actually happy with how things went online to some extent. I had a lot of frustrating matches where horrible people ran like God vs me, but I usually ended up getting most/all of the money back before they left.

I got some hours in (20 to 30 hours) or so at 5/10 between the Rio, Bellagio, Wynn and The Venetian. I really booked only one winning session and that was only possible because I managed to get it AI on the turn with ATss on AK5ssT vs a guy with AK who should never have AK there and I hit a spade on the river. I still played well and made hands this session, but if I didn't suck out in that hand, I would've bustoed the $$ I brought to the casino. So, barring that one hand, I really should've lost every live session I played, mostly due to set up hands. I am usually more critical of my live play than my online play and I think I played better live this month than I played online, yet I lost $6,000 live and won $7400 online. Turn that 6k loss into a 6k win and I even met my money goal for the month

FCP people in town were awesome and it was great to see you guys again/meet you finally.

I suck at golf.

The beach was awesome.

I have been waiting 5 weeks to hear back about that house now. I hired a new realtor, looked at houses yesterday and offered on one today that I'd actually like to get more than the one I've been waiting on, so hopefully they'll get back to me sooner and make my life easier.

Here's the month:



July Goals:
20k - 25k hands online
$12,000-$18,000 profit
Close on a mother****in' house ONE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[NoSup4U]

Acid just linked me to this thread. My July goal is to play 30K hands, which would be more than 5K more than I've ever played in a month.
