Acid_Knight 2 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 April Goals:Win $12,000Play 15,000+ handsGet roll to about $20k and start picking good spots at 3/6 HU NLWorkout every day after work before playing cardsLose 10 lbsBuy a freakin house already...I won $8800+ about $700 rakeback, so I think things turned out alright. Still a frustrating month.I annihilated the 15k hand mark getting to almost 32k hands.I actually ran my roll up to 26k and started taking shots at 3/6. I ran ok, but still don't feel comfortable since I'm not fully rolled for that limit.The working out thing didn't pan out. I probably got about 2/3 of the time in there, but I did ok for myself.I lost about 8-10 pounds.I am preapproved for mortgages and I'm going looking at houses with my realtor tomorrow!May Goals:Live to my 26th birthday and don't die of alcohol poisoning during the FCP golf outing.More progress on the houseMore progress on getting in shapeGoing back east in the middle of the month for my brother's college graduation.Poker Goals for May:Play 20k handsWin $15,000Break away from being staked by Jordan. This is a slight reach goal.Don't have more 5-buyin losing day than 5-buyin winning daysMy April: Link to post Share on other sites
potatoman 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well thank god April's over. April goal: Break even. It's been one of those months.Result: Down $75 About $20 was pissed away on tilt. The rest was sucked out of me.I'm still well rolled for $5 sngs. But I'm going to drop down to $2.40's for the month of May, just to put myself in the right frame of mind for the rest of the year.So, 200-300 9-handed $2.40 sngs. I'm just going to two table these suckers and try to get in 10 or so in a day.Money goal- $80-$100Also, try to put in 1,000 hands of stud8. Played a bit this month. Forgot how much I miss that game.

Jordan 1 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 first sesh booked. I'm really not happy with how I played nor the final resutl, but mainly how I played. Going to have to go over al ot of hands next time I sit down.Sigh.I guess the only good thing is that I started playing a lot better once I won a few pots, but man I just was totally not playing my game...I dont know why or what was going on but it was just embarrasing really.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 15k hands of 6max.At least 5k hands HU.Play good. Link to post Share on other sites
RabidTortuga 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 10k Hands - 7050, so still have to work on getting more hands in.I played 6300 hands at .50/1 LHE and ran at 2.21 BB/100. Bankroll after tonight is $451.97.I made Silver Star on Pokerstars, which is pretty cool for a noob like me.April Goals -1.10K Hands2.Win enough to move up to 1/23.More strategy discussion and hand posting/analysis.This was a strange month. I won $40 the first day of the month, broke almost dead even for the next 28 days, and won almost $50 the last day of the month. I had the hardest time breaking $500 BR, and wonder if it was a mental block of some sort. I finally broke it earlier this week when my wife wanted to play, so I played a $1 Sit-n-Go with her and talked her through it, and she took it down for $4.50 to jump me over the hump.1.Got in 5995 hands this month. A variety of things caused that, but mainly lack of dedication to playing every day. 4600 hands at .50/1 LHE and ran at 2.17bb/100, plus I started playing some NL. 2.Won just under $100 bucks and BR is at $548.15, so I'm almost ready to move up.3.Posted to strat as I felt I needed to. Obviously lack of hands caused me to post less than I planned, but I'm also running into less situations I'm unsure of.May Goals1. 10k hands of LHE. Seriously. Really. I mean it. Goal is actually 500 hands a day, 6 days a week.2. Move up to 1/2 LHE once I have a $600 BR.3. Add in some NL, probably $10 BI while I learn., though playing shortstacked at $25NL has been working well. 2-3K hands of NL.4. Strat as needed, and review more sessions to look for leaks. I think my game improves constantly now, but the changes are sure to leave holes, especially where blind stealing and defense is concerned.5. Unrelated to poker, I want to write, revise, and submit a short story for publication this by June 1st. I haven't been paying enough attention to my writing. Link to post Share on other sites
TeeSludge 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 April Goals:35k hands10k profit- I promised my fiance if I have a 10k month we can get a new couch Win a WSOP seatKeep eating well and playing tennis or working out. April Results: 20k hands.. not too worried about not reaching that because I played when I felt like it, lolTotal profit:$13,252 HU cash$410 rakeback$6,375 tournaments$20,037 profit- my fiance is getting a vacation rather than a couch, lol. I didn't win a WSOP seat.. I got to step 5 like 3 times and blew it/ran bad all three times. I think I'm gonna play a few live sats at Harrah's AC in the middle of May. I ate better than ever and I continued to work out and play tennis and golf. May goals:I'm going to miss the last few days of the month due to vacation. I'm happy with 25k hands and 10k profit but most importantly I'd like to continue playing well and focusing as much as possible while I play. I def wanna win my WSOP seat this month.

bdc30 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Working on a new poker project. I should be putting a lot of time in to studying this month. Will play as I learn.

Roberts2003 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 hmm wow havnt posted here in a while. April was kind of a weird month, was considering taking a long break from poker mid way through the month and did for a few days. I had a good finish to the month though and ended up around 40 grand which includes some live 2 5 NL ownage. Goals for May are:-get back in great shape-figure out classes for the fall-maybe some FTOPS events-10 thousand hands-play well Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt turn a profit in the month until the 27th lol. Finished off strong volume wise, hopefully I'll continue that trend into May. Have to take out $500 again, so hopefully the cashout curse will give me a break :PMay Goals:-Continue playing 48 SNGs a day, 60 when I feel like it.-Get Platinum star-Continue playing the 27s, only move down when running bad-Play some donkaments on weekends-Post a top5 high orbit Neptune scoreProfit Goal: $2000 Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 May goals:I will be very busy and away a lot during May, so I doubt that I will achieve my hand count (and hence expect to undershoot my total profit). Nevertheless:1) put in >20,000 hands of 10c/25c PLO with a win rate that will allow me to step up in June2) Profit $10003) Pwn chinese poker4) Set up a Full Tilt account account (this will be ...complicated)5) Win a $11 satellite to a Sunday million and save the seat/T$ for June6) Play a $300 PLO/PLHE tournament at my local casino (I've been looking forwars to this tournament for some time... but have a scheduling conflict that I need to work out in order for this to happen).Goals 1 and 2 above are the primary goals, 3 through 6 are secondary.Non-poker goals1) Make notable progress in my research and rejuvenate my interest in completing my PhD2) Pass my actuarial exam scheduled for the end of the month (this will eat up a *lot* of my free time hours in studying for it).

rysheve 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I did not make my goals for this month. My profit was only $43.70 over 4,582 hands. I am happy with my play but not with the volume.

ice4804 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 April goals:1. NEVER sit at anything higher than 50NL2. No MTTs3. 15k hands4. +$500 from cash gamesApril results:1. Technically did not meet this goal, but only because I was having a great month and decided to take a small shot at 100NL. It did not go well at all and as a result ended up costing me a lot.2. Check. No donkaments for me.3. Check. Booked 18k hands despite missing the first week of the month and being sick for the past three weeks4. Ended up +$831 for the month. On the one hand, I am very happy with this as it is my first month back from poker in a long time, but on another, I am disappointed in myself. I was up $1400 at one point solely from 50NL and was playing really great. That's when I decided to take a shot. Of course, eurolinx conviently decided that was when they would flip the doomswitch. End result was a massive spew session. What frustrates me the most about this is that I saw it coming from a mile away and I still couldn't stay out of my own way. I should have never taken the shot at 100NL.May goals:1. Get more involved with the Mayans group discussing hands, etc. I know this could help my game tremendously and if I ever stop being sick, I am looking forward to this.2. Play 35k hands and clear $1k bonus. This is prob going to be a stretch, but in order to clear my eurolinx bonus I need to suck it up and put in a lot more hands than usual.3. +$800 in cash games.4. No 100NL shot taking until BR exceeds $3k.5. No donkaments. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I want 30k hands this month. It's something I should be able to get to if I put the effort in. Also want to have my first 2k cash game month. I'm playing $100max right now, so if I can beat it consistently that'd be a plus to getting to 2k. I'll take 2k after bonus +rakeback, to make it more attainable. Link to post Share on other sites
