March Goals
 

Ok since no one set this up yet, I figured I would start:
1.) Be +250 (last month goal was +200, so I figured to aim higher)
2.) Play at least 2 MTT tourneys
3.) Be more aggressive on the river (a flaw in my imperfect game)

get rich or die tryin'

I'll go with Robb on this one. Net $250. Oh yea, and not be such a weak bitch this month.

Later, Donkass out.

Keep learning, play better.

1. Get checks from Stars/Bodog (hopefully a month is long enough)

2. Get $ onto FullTilt, and start (slowly) clearing bonus, and earning rakeback.

3. Start to play some live poker at local Indian Casinos.

Ok, I'll play.

1. Cash in my live tournament (AC) on 3/3.
2. Play 5 online MTTs this month.
3. Make a video for the TP forum.

GL to me.

EDIT: Add goal #3.

Woohoo! Go Goal #3!!!

That'll do.

1. Play 15 MTTs and be profitable.
2. Bag SNGs for now excpet an occaisional satty. Re-evaluate at the end of the month.
3. Confine online cash game play to 2/4 HORSE and 50 NLHE 6-max unless b/r indicates a move. (live 1/2 NLHE and 5/10 - 10/20 limit)
4. Win WSOP & FPC seat.

have an all around awesome month.

FYP.

These are kind of embarrassing, but I get on autopilot too frequently and it needs to stop. So this month, two goals:

1). Before every action I should have a plan for following actions. This means no reacting and pushing a button. I need to know why I am doing everything I do at the online table.

2). Before I bet I need to recognize if I am betting for value or as a bluff.

oh shit that is not good if ur not sure which ur doing

it is more of a not thinking thing as opposed to a clueless thing.

I only have one goal this month really:

1) Don't play above the $16 Turbo SNGs on Stars - but play a lot of them.

1. Learn from mistakes!

2. Do may best to get into WSOP for less than a 100 bucks.

3. Find out why my wife has stopped cooking and cleaning up the house.


Oddly the second is alot easier than the third!

Welcome to the forum and GL with #3 especially!!!

1. Stay away from the Play Chip tables.

2. Work on clearing (all of) my UB bonus.

3. Deposit & clear my bonus at FT.


4. Search & destroy, the creep who keeps sending me hate messages.

Just a tip on #3, being a wife myself, this usually means she's angry about something. Now finding out what she is angry about, is the really hard part. ;)

And, a rebuttal as being husband of wife above: eventually she gets so pissed off about wading through the garbage she cleans it up herself. :D Granted, you sleep on the couch for two weeks...

And I fail again.

turn whats left after i cashed out into a decent bankroll....starting with 15$ lol

Well I started with $25, so it's possible to strike it rich.

not exactly starting broke...ive got well over 3g in my bank account from poker, just not choosing to use it to play with considering im going to college next year and dont want to get in over my head.

update.

Update/Brag (hopefully not a jinx!)
 

I guess "rich" is a relative term, but I sure as shit ain't dead.



P.S. The graph lists various limits, but all hands were played at NL200.

update after that 4.40 180 2nd place finish

id say goal accomplished.

I didn't post any goals this month, but if I had, I would have failed miserably at every single one of them.

This was my losingest month ever - by a LOT - and I didn't even get in 10k hands.

And yes, I'm done playing for the month. I seriously hate poker right now and have absolutely no desire to play.

since im not playing for the rest of the month....heres a final update...goal accomplished for sure.

I posted my march goals in the end of of the feb thread.

Any way I made it .It was to to get back to almost even for the year. I was down $330 in january,But since then I have climbed back to positive and am actually up $25 for the year now.

I started off the month with a nice 8k downswing (just like Feb). I made a little bit of it back playing HU SNGs. I hardly played at all until I created an account on Bodog about a week ago and I've been lucky enough to win about 10k playing 2/4-5/10NL and 20/40LHE there. I love the 3-tabling because it seems to be the most optimal for me and it discourages 12-tabling nit/cyborgs from drying up the games.

Finally tally for March (including rb and yesterday's dabble into sportsbetting) should be about +6k

Congrats
 

That's a hell of accomplishment, especially since a few months ago it was all limit, all the time. Well done.

Shabi -- (kind of off topic but) what made you make the jump to NL play?

Fuck Shabi.

1) Boredom
2) Months of what amounted to breakeven play at limit (i.e. up 2k this month, down 2k the next, etc.)
3) Seeing the astronomical success of board members here.
4) Trying it and seeing how much easier it was and how bad people sucked at it.

I've been playing No Limit since the middle of December, and NL200 since December 30. This is a one month graph of less than 1/3 of the total hands I've played.

It's easier and the games are softer.

Edit:

Also, let's remember this. Most of you slackjaws practice little to no game/seat selection and when you do, you only look at lobby stats like players/flop or biggest avg. pot. I, on the other hand, have the WORST players at Full Tilt NL200 sitting to my right on a nightly basis.

What are you using to find them? Something more that PA-HUD and PT I take it?

I used to be such a big whore of table selection, and didn't get any hands in because I would never have at least one huge megadonk at my table. Now, I'm a much better player, my winrate has improved, and put in way more hands than I did before.

In one of the Green Plastic videos, I remember him saying something to the effect of, "instead of focusing only on taking money from the horrible players, try to think about how to make money the regulars also." That rang true to me, and I have tried to find exploits in the people I play the most hands with, the regulars.

6th Sense

I agree. I focus my efforts on finding the horrible players, and inevitably, the regulars find him too! I keep notes on the regulars and do try exploit their tendencies as well. But I can't tell you how many times I see a table FULL of 6 regulars who I know are good players battling each other. That's pointless to me.

Honestly, I'm not trying to be the best poker player. I'm trying to make the most money. I realize there is a correlation between those two statements and I definitely improve, but for me, it's easier to beat the worst players.

When you find them... do you watch and wait (or get in line) till your seat next to them is available? Or will you sit at their table, even though they are not to your right?

sit obviously, only a true moron would leave the seat to their right

Yes I know it is late to post the results, but it was a lousy month.
1.) No, $-408
2.) Yes, but only freerolls (100 FPPs)
Stars Silver Freerolls 251/2835=$18 399/4502=$12
3.) Yes
