June Goals

[RickyG033 0]

Ugh, bad start to June. Running very poorly, missing every draw, etc. I'll take a nap now

[iggymcfly 0]

Allegiant's awesome. It's $49 each way out of Missoula. With my three nights comped at the Bellagio and the fact that I could probably get at least 3 or 4 more at the Wynn, it makes it really tempting to just hop a plane as soon as I can get a little money together.

[KDawgCometh 2]

Just curious, but why are you playing without good RB/bonus plan?

do you honestly think I would've ever signed up at tilt w/o rake back . The stars VIP bonii aren't bad and hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be at nova to really take advantage of it. I don't have enough of a roll right now to put money onto either UB or AP. well, that and I haven't gotten a paytru card or epassporte yet

I realize FTP and Stars have decent incentives, but they really don't compare to AP, IMO. But it's all good.Also, APs games are sick soft lately... but don't tell anyone.

I don't doubt it, but like I said, I don't have epassporte or paytru right now, so getting money on it makes it kind of hard, and I've turned into a major nit with my roll, so I probably won't begin to think of depositing on another site until I have 300 BBs to put on it for 3/6

Finally got my laptop this week, and after a long hiatus from online poker I'm starting to play .25-.50 limit. Goal is to play 15,000+ hands at 2BB/100 or better. Also, I need to set up Pokertracker.

K adding to my June goal to learn cash games and make $500 from themQuick question, at say... 50NL, what kind of BB/100 hands should I be obtaining?

5ptbb or more is solid. 1ptbb = big blind x 2. 5ptbb/100 at 50nl = $5/100If you are new to cash games though, I'd be happy with breaking even.

May Results:Worst month for me in a while... I played 97 hours total of live poker and won $1657 which is well short of my goal of 4k. I ran pretty horribly overall. I played 23 sessions total and had 15 winning sessions and 8 losing sessions. My biggest winning session was $745 and my biggest losing session was $800. I wanted to get in between 30 and 40 hours a week and fell short of that avg. about 25 a week. June Goals:I'd like to work on quitting a game when things aren't going well. I think I let my losses escalate a bit too much on the nights that I was running badly. I'd like to make sure I get in at least 30 hours a week and I'd like to profit at least 4k for the month.

I never got rakeback on AP... Should I think about creating a new account and transfering my $ in current account over to new one just to get it? Ideas?

[iggymcfly 0]

Whoo hoo! Won just over 10 buy-ins tonight playing PLO! Of course I'm only playing 0.5/1 right now and I'm on a stake, so I'm only getting half of that but it feels nice to be making progress for a change.

[crotig 0]

Well I wanted my break even streak to end and in May it did....... With a 10 buy-in downswing. Initially it was just 6-buy-ins and I made it back to even but then in the space of 7 days I was down 10. Undoubtedly some of it was tilt , but I lost count of the number of times I lost AA to K3o and Q2o with the second pair coming on the turn or river. I've also seen set over set and flush over flush several times as well. I only played about 6k hands as well.So with only $50 left bring on June.Play as much $.02/.04NL as I can manage and do it very nittily. LEAVE AK and AQ ALONE!!. And Know that if AJ is the first semi-decent hand I got all night and the board is showing AxxAx and the other guy has bet strongly throughout, I'm probably stuffed.Have to restart my PT database as I forgot to make a copy of it before tearing the guts out of my PC and putting in lots of shiny new super fast bits.Also going to re-read HOH and play a few STT. I have $0 left on Titan but have quite a few points that I can use to enter Satellite tourneys.Gl everyone.

My goal for June is to use my reevaluated game to change my huge downswing to a huge upswing. I want my roll which is down to 2g to be up to 4g by the end of the month. I will focus primarily on 18 man and 180 man sng and Horse ring games.

Heh, he won't do anything.I'll expose his screenname to the world.

[mrdannyg 274]

Dan,Also, I don't know where you're flying out of, but if you're near the USA, check out http://allegiantair.com/, I'm driving 3 hours, and flying out of Duluth, MN for $89 there and $159 back. I could have gotten them both for $89 if my cash had shown up early enough. I don't know where else they fly out of though, but I know they pretty much specialize in cheap Vegas flights from within the States.

thanks, but anywhere in the states is a drive because i'm out east.

Im going to be there between the 5th and the 13th.My friend (mclesterol) and i are staying at the flamingo two to a room. If you want to split it for a few nights (get a cot, or something), let me know.

i'll probably not head down until a bit later, but i'll give you a shout if i'm going to be around that time. definitely would hit up some drunken limit tables with you guys.

May results: Made about $2.5k in may, which was ok, but after a good march and april, and being up 2k in the first few days, may was a little disappointing. June goals: Make $3.5k, 2k from mtts and the rest from sngs. Stay away cash games, I suck at them. Satellite into some bigger mtts (150$+) and make money in themGet setup at fulltilt, whilst trying to cut down the number of sites I'm playing onPlay live moreGood luck at the tables.

I've changed my goalIt was to make at least 5kbut...Now I'm just gonna make it to have fun. Whatever I make, I'm spending on a wsop tourney or some drunked mixed games with you guys. yayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Variance is going to be a big factor on pretty much any profitable poker game. (There's a reason you don't find big money Chicago games around.) I've actually been running great on Omaha lately, but trying to play hold 'em tournies today, I lost with AA vs. KQ all-in on a Q-hi turn, with KK against 86 all-in on a J45 flop, and with KK against 99 all-in preflop all without winning one single all-in. All you can do is just keep putting in hands in soft games until things turn around.

Play good and quite a bit. Not sure on a hand or dollar goal yet because it depends on school.

June Goals

• Play profitable cash games throughout Vegas.
• Play some tournaments at Rio/Bellagio/Venetian.
• Play some satellites to the WSOP ME.

May Goals/Results

• Play the Silver Medal freeroll that I qualified for on FT. (First time I've ever played enough in a month to qualify for anything on Stars or FT.)I "forgot" about it. I mean, I remembered, but not until it was already a couple of hours in. As a bonus, I qualified for SilverStar on Stars for the first time without really paying attention.
• Play as much as I can from the road. I'll be traveling a lot this month.Didn't travel as much as I planned. Played more than I planned and results were good (+$8k).
• Play some satellites to the WSOPC ME in New Orleans.Didn't end up making it to NO. Went to Biloxi and enjoyed my brief visit.

so 5 days into june, and i went from 35K all the way down to at one point 28K. now im back at 35K. i must have aged at least 3 years in the last 5 or 6 days. hopefuly i can get to 40K by the end of this week.
