Royal_Tour 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 June goals were met and then passed.soo, since i cleared 3k the month of June, I'll try for that this month. Although I have a feeling I'll be busy with a lot of things "summer related".But lets go for 8k BR by end of july Just 14-15 weeks into the run. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 June Results - Had 0.02 in Stars acct. Played one tourney - Used stakeament in $5 PLO8 tourney to win $13, split 50/50. Now have $6 in Stars acct. Profit 300x.July Goal - Have $6 in Stars acct. Using stakeaments found in general, or by the stroke of luck if a mystery backer comes to my rescue, increase THAT by 300x. C'mon, that's doable, isn't it??I should start a thread in general about my "quest" to turn 0.02 in to $1800 in two months, using only stakeaments..Could be the new superthread....LOL'z Link to post Share on other sites

meservery 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Play 3000 hands of $25 PL Omaha, with a win rate of 15 BB/100.Place in the top 3 in 3 MTTs. Link to post Share on other sites
rgold79 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 June Goalsgoal number 1 is to make the WSOP trip profitable. Online, I think 10K hands for June is a good number to shoot for and I'd like to win 10 buyins over that period.Achieved Goal 1. Goal 2 is a no go. I played 193 hands of poker in June at $10NL and lost $5.35. I just haven't had much desire to play/post since I got back from Vegas. July:I'll keep it simple. 5K hands at a profit this month and I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Sparco 2 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 June resultsI travelled a lot in June, so I did not really play enough to get a good shot at my goals. Anyway, here are the results: 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.Just failed - down about $60. 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.Played only 9, did not make a final table. 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.Played only 8, but made the money twice, so this one gets a check mark. 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".Played one, as expected. Lost two races with AK and was out before the end of level 2. 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.Failed...July goalsI'll be traveling a lot in July (and, for that matter, August) as well, so for next month I'll keep my goals unchanged.

psujohn 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Never done one of these but looks like fun.July Goals Winning trip to Vegas - will be there for 4 days playing mostly 1/2 NL. I'd like to profit $500 or better to cover the cost of the trip Profit $400 at NL $50 six max - need $600 profit to make me a lifetime winning player but don't know that I can erase all that this month Profit $300 at SH LHE 1/2 and move up to 2/4 if the bankroll allows Play on average 2 hours a day but play without also reading forums/email/watching videos/etc. My biggest leak is not paying attention to the table. Spend more time in strategy and less time in general. Link to post Share on other sites

simo_8ball 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 July Goals:1/ Get cash out of Mansion and into FullTilt2/ Play some goddamn poker for once. At least 15k hands.I don't know what to play though. Here are my options as I see them:MTT's9man SnGs6man SnGsHU SnGs6max NLHEHU NLHE6max LHE6max PLOHU PLOI like the idea of HU NLHE/PLO cash games, but I can multitable better if I'm playing full ring or 6max. MTT's are high variance so I think I'll keep those to one side and play them sporadically, and I think NLHE/PLO are better than LHE for me. Other than that, I'm clueless. Should I just mix and match whatever I feel like playing at any one time? Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I think what I really need right now is to just get on a staking plan that's contingent on me not playing with <20 BI and then stick with that. Lately, whenever I put my own money online, I get up to about 8-10x my deposit within a week or two, but I keep using bad BR management and blowing it. Guess that kind of goes along with trying to correctly manage a bankroll down around $1,000 knowing I used to have close to 100x that. I know I got some offers a month or so ago and ended up turning them down, so if anyone's still interested, I think this would be a good time. In 5,000 hands on Full Tilt the last 2 months, I'm running at 19.38 PT BB/100 and probably similar numbers on Bodog where PTO's incompatible. Probably, at least $1,000 would be best so I can play 0.25/0.50 with a real bankroll off the bat, but I'll listen to any offers via PM. Link to post Share on other sites
BudBundy 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Seeing people playing comfortably with 20 BI's makes me feel like a scared little girl. I feel bad and move down if i drop below 60. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well, it's not ideal. If I was robusto enough to play 5/10 again and didn't want to let myself have any chance of going broke, I'd probably want something more like 40 BI. Maybe 50 BI to play 10/20. In the meantime though, all I'm shooting for is like a 10% ROR. Link to post Share on other sites
homnig 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Didn't get to play until the last week of June. Was down almost 3k at one point, but got to just over +2k by the end.July goals are to play a lot and play well. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well, July got off to a fun start (finally).Mostly 3/6 on AP. A bit of 5/10.Tonight is the first night I'm relatively settled into my new place.This is the first time really for me moving, and this is my first real "own" place kinda deal, so there's waaaaaay more work involved in this than I'd hoped, lol.I'm not sure I ever formally stated my goals or results from June yet, so I'll do this now.Although I've got a retarded amount of **** to do, I'd still like to play 25-40k hands in July. I figured if I play ~40k, I should make enough for the $3000 ARP bonus (reaching 200k ARPs), as I seem to be making ~3 ARPs/hand, so I hope to get that nice boost next month. If I get 40k hands in July, it'll be the hardest working month of my life, lol. Gonna aim for it though. It'll be tough though.I don't have a monetary goal. I just want to win. Maintaining the ~1 BB/100 winrate that I have in my DB is a good goal. I'm out of bonus on AP, but I've got some cash in Click2Pay waiting for another bonus so I can get back on that. The bonus is worth so much/hand now, I need to get on that ASAP, and then pull out money again for the next one. I don't imagine I'll be able to keep the bonus account off of zero for long, as it clears so damn fast now.Anywho. My June totals were +$2053.99 online, and I played less than 7k hands (LOL) due to my travelling. This doesn't include any live poker, where I got owned, naturally.So, I'm going to bed.Gl all.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 June Goals Be ranked #1 MTT player in Alabama. Have a profitable month while figuring out what the hell I'm doing wrong in cash games. May Goals/Results Play profitable cash games throughout Vegas.I think I was actually slightly profitable in live cash games. However, I did pretty horribly online. Play some tournaments at Rio/Bellagio/Venetian.Played some. Didn't cash, though I'm relatively satisfied with my play. Play some satellites to the WSOP ME.Played one supersatellite to the ME. Had the chip lead with 50 left...finished in 16th with 8 seats paying. Last month I started in a 10k hole and managed to climb out of it by stringing together a bunch of big MTT finishes. This month, I started out +$2k through MTTs. I then proceeded to have a meltdown session ($-7k) last night playing mostly 5/10 SHNL and 20/40 SHLHE. I mean, I think I ran pretty poorly with getting cracked and missing big draws in big pots, but I'm really not thrilled about this at all. I'm feeling like just a tournament specialist at the moment. All that said, I'm going to start my job this month which involves a good bit of travel, so that may cut back on the poker. Link to post Share on other sites
Merby 3 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 July Goals-> Establish a self-sufficient online bankroll playing 1/2 NLHE (6 max)I deposited $500 on July 1st for this goal... Don't worry, I know that this is *ridiculously* too small to play 1/2, but that is only my *online* roll and it is only a fraction of my total bankroll. If I go bust and have to redeposit, so be it (but I will do my best to avoid this possibility). So far, I've built it to $2300 without redepositing -> Play at least 10k hands at 1/2 and build a roll to at least $6000 online (20 buyins at 1/2 NLHE + 5 buyins at 2/4)If I reach *both* goals, then I take a 5 buyin shot at 2/4 NLHE-> In general, stick to the following step-up rule: (1) Play at least 10k hands at a given level showing a positive ROI of at least 3 PTBB/100 (2) Build up an online roll of 20 buyins at my current level, plus a further 5 buyins at the next level. (3) Once (1) and (2) are accomplished, take a 5 buyin shot at the next level Link to post Share on other sites
