My goals suck, but I might as well post them...

1. Play 5k hands at 0.05 / 0.10 - I know that is low but I'm trying to keep good bankroll Mangement.

2. Final table a Tournament

3. Win $200

4. Try to play in atleast one league event.

I hate thinking about that. Having been stacked more times than I would like in the last 2 weeks, I can't help but look at the PT graphs and wonder what if...Good luck with the goals this month.

sjay2k 11-01-06 11:11 PM

Okay, from now on, i'm offering a $200 reward if anyone catches me playing poker until the 12th of November.

usernames: MyPetTurtle on Stars and FTP and LAGTARD on Pacific.

gotta study.

Talking Poker 11-01-06 11:29 PM

Define "catches you." Do we have to catch you in the act, or it is ok if we point it out later on that day?

Cause I wouldn't mind a free two hundey.

Screenshot of me playing, hand history or Sharkscope screenshot (please note that the bunch of $100/$200 SNGs i recently played were before the above message).

Thanks guys

Traveling a lot this month, and when I'm not traveling I've got a lot of time sensitive projects at work. therefore...

1. Get Pokertracker and get it configured.
2. Spend as much time analyzing my play as I do playing.

ashmc2 11-02-06 08:54 AM

I want to hit 1 grand by the end of the month. I also would like to get laid at least 4 times this month by the wife. Well hopefully I hit $1000 anyway.

BrianSwa 11-02-06 08:56 AM


had to make correction in mine, decided not to play this.

Nikita 11-02-06 09:02 AM

I haven't been playing as much poker as I used to lately. Mostly I'm only online when trying to clear a bonus. But here are mine.

1. Since I've been playing mostly cash games to clear the bonuses and I prefer tourneys. Play at least one tournament this month (excluding the TP league).
2. Play in at least one more league game.

Best. Day. Ever.

Robbr25 11-11-06 12:24 AM

Now that is a good day !! Congrats !!

Talking Poker 11-11-06 02:06 AM

Damn, son... that's one hell of a day! I'll consider me asking you last night how you were doing for the month the GL that you needed!

I haven't played a single hand today. :(

But that's ok, cause I'm winning a PCA seat tomorrow and cashing in the Iron Man freeroll. Consider those bonus goals for my list.

eejit101 11-11-06 02:12 AM


Jesus. Christ.

I played 1,000 hands today at 2/4 NL. I won......$245. I suck

sjay2k 11-11-06 06:32 AM


exams are over, time to play (it's nov 11, but meh, contest closed)

Talking Poker 11-16-06 03:02 AM

Well, we're halfway through the month, so I guess it's time for an update. Wrapping up my worst day EVER right now, this update is gonna sting. Ugh. Today was really, really, really bad (down about $4000). I feel like I played ok for the most part, but I also missed damn near every flop for 600 hands (is that even possible???), and my opponents just clobbered me. The funny thing is, I didn't even have very many HUGE pots where I got stacked or anything... it was just a very annoying downward spiral all day long. On thing I have learned is that the good opponents at 5/10 NL are a LOT better than the good ones at 3/6. They are MUCH more aggressive, 3 and 4 betting regularly. This doesn't go so well with my style, where I like to be the aggressive one. No tilt, btw.

Anyway, enough crying... on to the goals:

1. I'll make this goal easily. I have 8800 hands logged - 2000 of 5/10 and all the rest 3/6.
2. This shouldn't be a problem either. I've only "missed" two days, meaning I can miss 3 more this month and still make it.
3. Hmmm... I think I've only made ONE so far in November. Guess I'm gonna need to get on that - I should have made one today instead of getting my ass handed to me all day long.
4. Yesterday, I was on pace for this. Today, not so much. I didn't quite piss away ALL of my winnings for the month, but I am up just $1700 now.... That's a LONG way from $10,000, but I can honestly say that I have been running pretty badly this month. Yes, it could definitely be worse (I had a couple of streaks where I ran well), but overall, I've definitely been running below average this month... at least I hope I have been.

Boobie Lover 11-16-06 10:56 PM

I've decided I need to work on my 8+ tabling skills. So, if you see me at a shitload of 2/4 tables, I'm not busto.

Talking Poker 11-20-06 01:54 AM

My worst streak ever, by a lot, has continued for yet another day. Yes, I won a very nice Bahamas trip in the middle of said streak last night, but in cash games, I am running colder than I thought possible. I don't feel like it has effected my play much, but realistically, IT HAS TO BE. I don't see how it couldn't. If nothing else, it's affected how my opponents see me at the tables (as a loser), which will make them more likely to call me down (since I lose so many showdowns), and that doesn't go very well with a frigid deck. I could completely change my style for a while, and I may need to.... I don't even know.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this in this thread. I guess it's because I've gotten my 10k hands in now but I am WELL down for the month... MY $10k goal is pretty much an impossibility now... I'd be happy if I could just get back to even for the month.

I cashed out a lot of my Neteller account last week (thinking I wouldn't need the money online anytime soon and hating that it was sitting there earning 0% interest), and I'm really glad I did. Right now, my online bankroll (which is obviously not my true bankroll) is pretty tight. I'm going to try to rebuild here without reloading...

I may move down a level for a while or I may take a break all together. I'm not sure yet. but I'm sick of losing large sums of money day after day after day because of (mostly) SICK variance.

Boobie Lover 11-20-06 02:12 AM

With your style TP, variance will definitely be much greater than others. I think the regulars are probably starting to bluff check/raise you a lot more knowing you cbet the flop far greater than most.

sjay2k 11-20-06 02:15 AM

+7k from 3000 hands so far this month....

Talking Poker 11-20-06 02:32 AM

Damn regulars!

If that was the extent of it, that would be one thing... but I'm getting my money in with the best of it and being drawn out on a LOT more than one would expect. And I'm just not getting big hands either. And when there is a big hand vs. bigger hand situation, I seem to be on the losing end of it (regardless of which hand I held) about 80 or 90% of the time.

I think you are right about the regulars though......

Talking Poker 11-20-06 03:10 AM

Yes, I recall. So, reverse roles - you're me. How do you play AK differently here?

sjay2k 11-20-06 03:17 AM

if i were you, firstly i'd practice better table selection (lol kidding)

i usually play this the same way, except sometimes i'll check back the flop.
