Deftones150 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 1. Avoid ET (Exhaustion Tilt) 2. Learn 6 max so I don't have to play 8 tables without getting bored and making a retarded bluff at some point.3. 6 table $5NL 6 max and move up to $10NL 6M after winning 10 bis (BR at $350) a. If I achieve the first start incorporating $25NL if I hit 10bis at $10NL(edit: BR would be at $500)4. 10k hands (not likely with being in the food business and black friday coming up this month but I came pretty close this month avoiding poker for a few days.5. No profit goal just don't lose winnings for entire month in the last week.Edit: 6. Quit being a POW 1. Big pass as I found I started playing better as the sessions went on.2&3. Said eph that after losing 3BI really quick even with a W$SD of 61%.4. Missed by 376 hands but I'm pleased.5. Check6. Took a while but managed to get there.December Goals1. Keep playing better as my sessions progess.2. 7k hands this should be easy and still allow for sleep and 4.40s3. Maintain ~4bb/100 at 25NL (have a good start 17bb/100 from my 558h session today)4. Book a profit in the 4.40 challenge5. Continue to read and get better (half way through Sklansky's Theory of Poker).6. Read Strat forum again and not just Challenge thread and post more hands.

DinkDonk 1 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 God I was so lazy in November. I wanted to put 35-40k hands in and barely made 10. No excuses, just laziness and a lack of desire to play.Gotta change it this month. The only real goal I have is to reach my 400k VPP bonus. That means I'll have to put in a ton of hands (probably between 45k-55k depending on stakes) to get to about 67k VPPs this month. Gotta grind. Gl everyone. Link to post Share on other sites

ROGUE06 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 December GoalsPlay 50k handsProfit $1,500Achieve "Iron" Ironman on FTP this monthCrush $50NL 6max, have BR to try out $100NL next monthNon-Poker:Study strong these last 2 weeks of schoolAchieve 3.25 GPAGet atleast C's or better on last 2 ACCY tests so I can pull a C in the class and not have to retake itI think these goals are very attainable, as I am finally refreshed from not playing past few months and have winter break for half the month. I hope to profit $1500 without rakeback, and if I play 50k hands, rakeback should be another $600-700. Goal is to build up some money to take to Vegas in Feb when I'm finally 21.

outsider13 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's been a while since I set goals, so I'm going to try and get myself back on track here after running awfully forever, mostly from not taking anything seriously and not really having any time.Goals - Play poker with the purpose of winning, not just to kill time.Play 30 4.40s - Maintain a 80%+ roi. Cash in the Challenge.Go deep in a few MTTs, at least break evenTake a shot at something (not sure what though)Watch all PXF videos that come outPretty simple goals, but need to get back on track now that I might have a bit of time to play.

iggymcfly 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I'd post my graph of the last 9 months. As you see, I'm in a pretty extended downswing. Basically, here's how my problems started:Game quality goes down at 3/6+ 6-max --> I start playing more HU/cap --> I lose money because I suck at HU/capHowever, I've been staked through pretty much the entire graph, and I've got enough money together that I think I should be able to play 2/4 on my own, so that's kind of my plan at the moment. There's still a ton of soft 6-max games at that level, and my stats on regular 6-max are still really good, even over the last few months when I've been losing. As long as I can get enough money together right off the bat and run OK while I play underrolled, I should be fine. (Currently have 2K of my own online, 5K I'm owed online that I expect to get paid in the next week, 10K offline, and 5K I'm owed offline that I have no idea if I'll ever get paid.)I suppose if I were smart, this would be a good time to start putting out videos and try to get more coaching at $400/hr.
