TeeSludge 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 January Goals were:Play 30k handsWin 7kPlay my best in Borgata Winter Open.January results:I don't know the exact numbers because everything is on my other computer and i'm in the process of moving but I think I played 25k hands and maybe won 1k because I had a decent start to the month and an okay end but a horrible middle of the month. I didn't play any Borgata events at all. I did manage to impregnate my fiance which I haven't really mentioned on fcp yet so I was sucessful at something this month.

Mattnxtc 0 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 $100/hr.Worked out the official rates now eh? haha. This month is starting off good...already up about 400 primarily from taking kids money at huhu (one losin session). I am severely underrolled for it, but thins will get a bit better when my rb comes in in just over a week. I think my plan is to only keep $500 online at any one time which gives me plenty of play at huhu and 6max. Link to post Share on other sites

dreamcrusher28 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Cashed out most of my roll on all three sites.So my starting amounts for my own records are:Bodog:..........$350 (cashed out $500)Absolute:......$150 (cashed out $500 last month)Stars:...........$150 (cashed out $300)It seems like I reach a sticking point every time I grind up my $$$$$$$. Not sure if its skill, a mental thing or just variance.But why should I hover at a certain dollar amount when I can just cash out and grind it up again?? *crosses fingers*I had these delusional dreams of leaving money in there and eventually working it into a BIG cashout, but it'll never happen. So I'll just have to be happy with the ocassional $200 or so finding its way to my bank account. It's just a bit depressing to realize that I probably won't get much better at poker and even slighty better players own me. But I still love playing (even during downswings) and will never quit. ----/pity partyI guess it could be worse, if I hadn't found FCP I'd probably be down thousands and would've had to quit like my friends who have no concept of BR management , position or the existence of anything besides NLHE.

Roo6339 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 - Move up from .25/.50 to .50/1 full-ring limit.- 1000 hands. (That's a lot considering how little I play.)- Play more 4.40's, but I wanna keep working on my limit game first. Link to post Share on other sites

jmkiser 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 FEBRUARY GOALS1. 10k hands of FR LHE2. Don't force yourself to play when you're upset with yourself... even if you just started and you're playing bad.3. Play some tournaments on PS when you feel like a change of pace.4. Start back up playing live 3/6 and keeping track of my results on pokertracking.com. Use February as an establishing month to see how I'm doing and where I'm at. DO NOT LET YOURSELF GET AFFECTED BY 1 or 2 day RESULTS!What I hope this accomplishes? Following Rabid's 300bb/200bb bankroll strategy (it fits me well), I hope to reach 300bb of .25/.50 ($150) and be well on my way to 300bb of .50/1 ($300) with the assistance of the rakeback and bonus.Utilize the bankroll strategy for live play as well. 3/6 (1800 starting point), move down to 2/4 if you go under 1200 and move up to 6/12 if you reach 3600.I'll see you all at the end of the month I am really planning on buckling down for February so I'm going to use this thread as my sort of "blog" in a sense.I've just come across my $1800 Bankroll for 3/6 live and I'm continuing the bankroll that I've got going on FTP right now. I'm going to try to do a sort of daily update on my live play and progress along with my 4-tabling online. I don't have the best memory so you won't see any specific hands, but more of just thoughts on what I'm doing and everything that I've done. Please feel free to comment with thoughts or suggestions.ENTRY 1I just got back from a trip to Vegas and had a great time. The highlight? Giants win! I took the 12.5 points for even money and my girlfriend wanted to risk more so she took the +350 for a flat out Giants victory. I am back and I am focused and ready to start playing some serious poker :-DI, currently, will be playing all my hands from Bakersfield's lovely Golden West Casino (sw on the lovely). The games are extremely loose passive and begging to be plucked. If anybody plays in the area, I'll probably be the only guy wearing the flat cap :PCurrently, I am used to 3 hour a sessions. I can do about 2 of those a day and I want to be able to spend more time at the table without getting fidgety/bored/etc. Does anyone have any tips on how they do long sessions at the casino? My love of the game definitely isn't in question... just more the speed and the sitting in the same seat for ever and ever part that makes it hard for me sometimes.Current Live Status: 300BB (big bets) at 3-6I'm excited about my progress online, too. I'm getting thousands and thousands more hands and am very comfortable with 4-tabling. I am debating about going ahead and splurging on a second LCD monitor if I can find a cheap one. I'll add more tables as comfortably as I can. Currently, though, I'm sticking with 4 until I get a new monitor. I play at FTP online. I am working on a bonus and doing the 27% rakeback. I use Pokertracker to database and Gametime+ for live results on each player at the table. I focus on their vpip / pfr / af / hands played to determine how they act pre-flop and after the flop. Does anyone know how to utilize some form of table selection with those two programs?Current February Status: .25/50 full ring limit holdem / 542 hands played / -21 BBI'm happy I'm back and it's time to hit the tables. Wish me luck, feel free to comment, and you'll be getting all my updates and thoughts in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcrusher28 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think its time to take my money off AP. I just dropped $105 playing .25/.50 Stud8 (2 tables) and .05/.10 PLO8, most of it at Stud8!!!! Basically brings me back to even for the month, but I still want to go on a rampage killing spree!!!I'd like to find a site with RB and monthly freerolls like AP has, any suggestions?? Open to US players of course. I never thought I'd leave AP, but I just can't win there anymore. I just don't understand. Link to post Share on other sites
E-Cart6 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Had a great session yesterday even though my weekend was terrible. I managed to get in a good session monday and with rakeback get back to 1350$ as where I started at 50NL friday before the weekend. After yesterday I'm up to 1550$ so less than 1k to go to reach my goal for the end of this month. Stats of yesterday's session: Link to post Share on other sites
