I'm sorry if I'm stepping on anyones toes with this post, I will gladly concede if that is so, but I wrapped up June and didn't think putting my results in the June Goals thread would work.Well, I wrapped up June. Gonna be busy all day tomorrow so I figured I'd play one more session and the call it a month.I played full ring the first few days of the month, took a break in the middle, and then played 6-max the rest.All-in-all, I still suck at poker, as you will be able to tell looking at my stats, and I just don't know what else to do.Gonna be watchin a lot of vids comin up and hopefully somethin clicks soon. I have tried to make a goal for myself that if I am not showing significant progress by the time I go back to school in August, I am pretty much gonna just call it quits.With that being said, here are my monthly graph and stats, yea, I know, I suck.monthgraphde6.jpgmonthstatslp8.jpg

Well, I never used to be one to make and adhere to poker goals, but I'm really working toward becoming a better/successful player.
  • 25-30K hands --- CHECK!
  • At the end of the month, I'd like for that pesky little "Amount Won" column to look like this $$$$ and not ($$$$) --- somehow, God only knows, but, CHECK!!
  • Move up levels --- FAIL!
  • Make AT LEAST Silver Ironman Status. Anything less is purely unacceptable. I'd ideally like to make Iron, but I'm not sure how many days I'll be able to make 200pts. --- CHECK! (Silver)
  • Try to get into 9man sngs more, especially when running poorly at cash. Hopefully 150-200. --- EPIC FAIL! (totally unrealistic)
  • Survive 21st birthday and get into live poker for real. --- SURVIVED! CHECK!

Plus about another $175 in rakeback as well as a $75 bonus for making Bronze last month and Silver this month on FTP.Still haven't decided on goals for July, gonna figure those out tomorrow hopefully.Sean

I withdrew all of my money from my accounts and deposited $60 on Stars. I'm going to include the last 2 days of June into July.For July I want to:1. Actually play. At least 100 SNGs per week should be attainable.2. 20% ROI at the micro SNGs should be very easy.3. Hopefully make the leaderboards for the BotP. 4. Run that $60 up to $500.5. No MTTs. I just leak money in these and really should stop.

Started playing plo again - want to do that pretty much full time in July. Hope for 20-25k hands. I'm not going to set a monetary goal, however I'm going to set stats goals - play well - stats around 21/15/3. Good positionally aware aggressive poker. If I can do that for a month, the money will take care of itself.Also going to keep hacking away on my tourney stake - have about 40 more to play - up $500 through the first 10 that I've played.

Okay, in the June goal thread I just said I want to play. So I achieved all my goals, hooray!Here is the graph for the monthjuly2008gm0.jpgGoals for July:

  • Play 15k hands
  • Around 12 BB/100 (not sure about this one, but this means moving up limits by the end of the month, and hey, it's $.02)
  • Run well in 4.40's for the challenge (one time!)
  • Continue to dominate the $3 45 man SNG's (this is roll dependant, but if I can do decently in these it really helps)

Meh, we'll see how we go

goalsNo specific goals, I have exams and assignments for uni this month that I'll be focusing on.
resultsAs usually happens when I shouldn't be playing, I played a fair bit and ran very good. I'm playing trackerless at the moment, but I estimate that I played somewhere between 25-30k hands and made about ~$3.6k. Definitely one of my best months. Made Platinum star again.goalsGoing to be busy for the first couple of weeks of this month but I really want to put in some hands and make a big stride towards making Supernova. At the very least must make Platinum star again, but hopefully at least 20k vpp. However not a strict goal, I really want to enjoy my holidays.

Goals for June are to play 15,000+ hands of 50nl 6max at a rate of 6BB/100. First part was a success, played 20,000 hands of 50nl. Unfortunately, I had a bad downstreak and ended down 16 buyins, so second part is an epic fail.For July - 20,000 hands 50nl 6max+6ptbb/100 winrateFinal table 1 MTT

I'm stealing parts of this plan because they're so good.I won't make anywhere near 20k hands (I am going to be away for most of the month), but my goal will be to play for good stats on PLO and NLHE:NLHE: Target 19/17/2PLO: Target 23/15/3

If you're going to steal a part of my goal, this is the one I would recommend. I'm not playing "to" the numbers so to speak, but over 20-25k hands they should show up around what I've given as a goal IF I can be disciplined and execute the good positionally aware aggressive game.

June Goals:Go to the beach on the 20th with Lindsey.GET THE HOUSE THAT I OFFERED ON!!!!Play 12k hands online.Win $20k between live 5/10 NL and online heads up.Play live poker.Spend quality time with FCPers.
So, things didn't totally work out.I met my hands goal and I'm actually happy with how things went online to some extent. I had a lot of frustrating matches where horrible people ran like God vs me, but I usually ended up getting most/all of the money back before they left.I got some hours in (20 to 30 hours) or so at 5/10 between the Rio, Bellagio, Wynn and The Venetian. I really booked only one winning session and that was only possible because I managed to get it AI on the turn with ATss on AK5ssT vs a guy with AK who should never have AK there and I hit a spade on the river. I still played well and made hands this session, but if I didn't suck out in that hand, I would've bustoed the $$ I brought to the casino. So, barring that one hand, I really should've lost every live session I played, mostly due to set up hands. I am usually more critical of my live play than my online play and I think I played better live this month than I played online, yet I lost $6,000 live and won $7400 online. Turn that 6k loss into a 6k win and I even met my money goal for the month ;)FCP people in town were awesome and it was great to see you guys again/meet you finally.I suck at golf. The beach was awesome.I have been waiting 5 weeks to hear back about that house now. I hired a new realtor, looked at houses yesterday and offered on one today that I'd actually like to get more than the one I've been waiting on, so hopefully they'll get back to me sooner and make my life easier.Here's the month:junefinalpd4.jpgJuly Goals:20k - 25k hands online$12,000-$18,000 profitClose on a mother****in' house ONE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Well, after starting with $1 from a freeroll cash back in early 2006, I now have over $1,000. :club: Took me long enough...June Results:1) Money goal - $200-$400Result: Exceeded goal - made - $6402) Play 10 more $2.40 sngs, than switch back to $5.5 I'm currently rolled for $11, but moving from $2.40 -$11 might be too steep. Want to make sure my game stays intact. If I play 200 $5.5 and show a reasonable profit, I'll move up to $11 sngs, with extra money just in case.Result: ITM: 76/150 ($5.50's)ROI: 31Profit: $255Also made like $18 from my last set of 10 $2.40'sPlayed way too much cash (AP) / WSOP fantasy freerolls(Tilt) to finish off the last 50.3) Try to play 5-10 rebuy tournaments.Results: Total tournament profit: $135Played nine rebuy tournaments, cashed in four, with one third place finish in a $5 rebuy for a $165 profit.Played one horse tournament, finished fifth - $27.Played one $16.50 pot limit tournament, cashed for $1.50 profitPlayed well at the beginning and end of the month, but during the middle, I was playing terribly.4) Watch and study Daniel's small ball section and as well as the math section on pokervt. The site amazing. Now that I have it, it's going to be very hard to part with. Hopefully, I'll be making enough at the tables to continue paying for it.Result: finished the small ball course, but haven't touched the math section yet. Site is still amazing.Cash Results (need to get poker tracker)Looks like I made $230 mostly playing $20nl, for 11.5 buyings, which means I'm not running too bad. I think I donked off about 2.5 buyins by paying off huge river bets, which I need to stop doing.July goals:1) Play 150-250 sngs and move up to $11 sngs2) Play as much cash as possible, two tabling if games are good enough3) Play 10-15 rebuy tournaments ($1-$5) and take one down finally.4) Finish math section of PokerVT5) Profit - $6006) Take a couple shots at satelliting into the $150K tournement on AP. The satellites appear VERY soft.Good luck guys and girls.
