jmbreslin 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Happy Canada Day! I guess it's up to me to start the goals thread again...June Goals [results]Theme for June was "Back to the Basics."(1) Start by multi-tabling $1.20 NLHE STTs and only move up to $3.40 when I feel I'm back in the groove of playing NLHE STTs [N/A - Started playing the $1.20's but got bored with SnGs early in the month and decided to focus solely on goal 2](2) At any point throughout the month I may start playing micro stakes cash NLHE on Tilt. I'll probably start at .02-.05. My initial goal is very basic: end the month profitable at cash NLHE [PASSED - Started strong, ran into a rough patch to break even, but finished with a strong session on the 30th to eke out a profit. Averaged 10BB/HR for the month.]July GoalsTheme for this month is "Taking my cash game to the next level."(1) Stick to .02-.05 cash and continue working on my game. Aim to:(1a) Profit more than 10BB/HR(1b) See a clear uptrend in my monthly chart(2) Purchase HEM after finishing out my free trial Link to post Share on other sites
potatoman 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 To make a long story short, I thought I had a bankroll of about $400 to work with to rebuild, but bills came up and I ended up with a roll of $75.Played 300 $1.20 sngs, finished with an ROI of 20 per cent, made the leaderboard twice, qualify for the Battle of the Planets shootout (got blown out in 9th at the first table) and cleared my bonus.Started playing the $3.40's, quickly relearned that I hate turbos, now sitting down 7 buyins after about 80 or so.Bankroll: $200 and change.July goals: 1)Play 800 sngs, mostly $3.40, with some $1.20 thrown in.2) Finish with an ROI of around 15-20 per cent.3) Qualify for Battle of the Planets shootout.4) Profit: $400-$600.Oh, and HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Shark527 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 My first week of the month was awesome. An MTT win and crushing cash games to a turnaround of evil poker god proportions to lose all of it back slowly in the last 3 weeks...........so goals are,Almost entirely rework my PLO game. I have been stuck in shitty mode and going nowhere.Doing the 4.40 challenge this month so almost entirely playing 4.40's and other SNGs this month.Hopefully profit. I'd be happy with $150 this month, fo so. Link to post Share on other sites

DinkDonk 1 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Limit hands:NL hands:+$930 in FPPs-$475 in staking=$37,435So I ran hot this month at all games that weren't 200/400. Had my second straight $30k+ month as well as my second straight $1000/hr. month which is pretty exciting. Despite my little downswing at the end of the month, I've never been more confident in my poker game. I didn't play in a single lineup all month where I didn't feel I had a significant edge, I never tilted, I made good quits, and took good shots. I'm happy with a lot of that, but I want to continue that type of improvement. Hopefully a few more good 100/200 and 200/400 games run so I can really have a big month in July, but if not, I'd be happy with just making sure I put in 15k hands at 15/30+ and working on my NL game a bit more (I spew like a ************.) So July goals: 15k hands of Limit and at least 2k hands of NL Link to post Share on other sites
Solar 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 So, uni is finished and I am super keen to play a ton of poker this month. Already put in 2k hands so far with plenty of run good, probably jinxing the rest of the month but meh. Now that I have plenty of time on my hands, I'm gonna get back into the whole moving up thing that I haven't really done for almost 8 months. So the goals are.1: 12k hands2: move back to playing 50nl regularly3: maybe dabble in 100nl4: Get a part time job.5: ? July Goals:-Play some poker before going to NZ-See if I can play any poker in NZ-Get fit.Coolies. Whereabouts are you going to stay/live/visit? Link to post Share on other sites
DemonDonk 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Coolies. Whereabouts are you going to stay/live/visit?Near Queenstown, Wanaka I think its called. I'm training to be a ski instructor so basically it will be non-stop skiing for three months with the occasional city visit/club night. Link to post Share on other sites
Pez 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 June Results: -Play at least 2000 hands, possibly try multi-tabling. played 2600 hands, which was probably too many. I ended up playing when tired, etc. Forced myself to play on some occasions and did more poorly for it. -Finish up the FPPs to get the deposit bonus. Playing that many hands did allow me to accomplish this. -Move at least to the next level of DN's challenge. I was not able to get to the next level yet.-Play at least 2 MTTs I didn't get to play any.-Finish reading The Theory of Poker. Did finish this-Push my BR to $500 Came up short on this as well. July Goals: -Play one MTT -Move up to the next level of play -Find another poker book to read. -Increase my BR to $450 Link to post Share on other sites
NLH2020 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Try not to focus on goals like 10bb/100... because all you can really do is play the best poker you can play. Just play your best, and the results should come. 10bb is a very solid win rate.My goals are to rebuild my roll to the point where I can play an ABI of $50 again. Link to post Share on other sites
