I'm setting a goal for February for the first time on here. The last two months I've won hundreds of dollars multi-tabling 1-table SNG's from $11-$55, cashed most out then busted out the rest. Let's go for more consistent here.February goals: 1. Cash in the Sunday $200k that I sattyd into.2. Cash in the live $65 buyin tourney at a WVA race track I plan on playing in evening of Feb. 33. Between Feb 4-28, play at least 144 sng's, starting at $110 investment for $11 Sng's, moving up levels as I gain at least 10 buyins for that level, dropping down if I fall to 5 buyins for that level. Peak at $33 sng's at this month and cash out any profit above 10 buyins for that at the end of the month.gl all

January 2009 Goals:- Play 100 SNG's Fail, played 90- Play 20 MTT's Pass, played 35- Make A Final Table Pass- Win a MTT Fail, unless 45 man's count - Get Bankroll over $150 Fail, could have if I didn't tilt most of roll early in Jan.- Post More In Tourney Strat Pass, quantity > quality most likely- Maintain Strict BR Management Fail, but I'm back on the horse. Tilted off about $100 down to ~$20 worked my way back up to ~$105.Non-Poker:- Continue Eating Better Fail, I can't resist the temptations.- Lose 10 LBS. Fail, but lost a little.- Read More Fail, my book has collected a nice layer of dust.

February 2009 Goals:- Play 50 SNG's- Play 25 MTT's- Get BR to $150- Good BR Management- Do well enough to stake some FCPersNon-Poker- Drink more water instead of soda.- Eat better.- Enjoy the small things.

December started terrible with a 15 buyin downswing (couple from tilt after the endless coolers/suckouts) End of the month worked out better and got 9 of them back and broke even for the month with some money from the stars world record tourney. Goals for JanuaryPlay more hands (shooting for 20-30k) Pass - 21,008 handsIf the month is going well start mixing in a table or 2 of 25nl Pass - about 1.2k hands @ 25NL and down 2 buyinsTake more time to think about decisions and develope a plan for the rest of the hand. (even the seemingly simple ones) Fail - Never really thought about this while at the tablesRewatch relevent DC videos and newer ones. Pass

Goals for February:Play 15-25K hands (going to Bahamas the last week in February )Get bankroll over $1000 @650 right nowKeep reading DC and FCP forums and watching vids

January:- Build roll from $900 to $1500 - Passed - $1884.40 now- get top 50 of Low and High Orbit in Mercury (1.75$ 18 man turbo's) - Almost Passed - Result: low orbit 56, high orbit 38 ... Low orbit is getting a lucky variance mostly so don't care much about that one not getting top 50. In total $25 gain from Battle of the Planets winnings- go from 8 tabling $10 DoN's to 10 tabling - Passed - first week- First attempts at $20 Double or Nothing's - Passed - played only $20's since 11 jan, but not much (only 180 games) since I'm not comfortable yet playing for so much $$ at once and for the moment I play them at lower profit than the $10's too.- Silverstar - Passed - on 27 jan- First attempts at Mars turbo SnG: $3.25 6 man and $3.4 10/18 man to test which gives me best profit. Goal changed a bit: $3.4 games = rake too high so didn't play those and replaced them by $6.5 9-man and $3.25 45-manResult: $3.25 6-max: 219 games | profit: $24.45 | ROI: 3.4% | Bad!!!$6.5 9-man: 40 games | profit: $96.4 | ROI: 37% | Very promising start (very low sample size )$3.25 45-man: 30 games | Profit: $10.5 waaay to low sample size for games with such high varianceFebruary:- Cash out 184.4$ use some of it to buy tracking software (Holdem Manager if my computer can handle it... try free trail first)- Build my remaining $1700 roll to at least $2500 ($800 profit .. although i'll most likely be bummed if i don't get about 1k profit like this month)- Go from 8 tabling to 10 tabling $20 DoN's- Get comfortable playing $20 DoN's, play at least 360 games (that twice the number I played in january).- Get my ROI on $20's above 10% (currently at 6.9%)- Spend more time studying poker (Read 1 poker book (thinking doyle's supersystem)/Read a few big STT/DoN strategy topics on major poker forums)- play at least 200 $6.5 9-man- Earn at least $25 from Battle of the Planets (strategy: start the week with playing 10 or 20 Mercury/mars/venus games and continue the planets where I have a promising start)- For mars: try some 3.4$ 18 man...since my results on 3.25 6-max are so bad. Rake is bad, but if I can get a Battle of the planet bonus I win it back.- Keep Silverstar

January suckedMy goals for February are 30k handsIron man1k profit

[Acid_Knight 2]

My previous best month was $17k from poker alone back in May 2008. I beat that by almost $10k, so I'm pretty thrilled.I won't be playing much in February cause I'm going to Hawaii and I'm just gonna try and take a little break from stuff.Oh yeah, and I bumped my VPIP and PFR up 5 percentage points from last month to this month AND I won $$ at showdown!

So Jan. I ran sooo bad live it's not even funny. I didn't have a single winning session over about 50 hours or live poker. Online was also super swingy and while my winrate was nothing to call home about, I'm not gonna complain about it. +7,500 on line-6,200 live (plus another -1k in the pits I won't count)+270 in tourneys+445 in rakeback+2,350 total (second worst month as a professional)
