December Goals...
 

I want to get my goals out of the way. I'm so happy its a new month.

This month I'm prob gonna play a TON. 10 tabling stars I can get about 950 hands/hr. So a bit more than 2 hours a day and almost 60k hands, so...

1) Try to play at least 50k hands this month (by far my most ever, yet very doable ).
2) Win 20k+
3) Get better, play good
4) No playing 30/60 Limit+ or 2k NL+.

I should accomplish every goal here.:D

What, no bouty on you sitting at 25/50 NL and up? WTF am I gonna do all month besides stalk you around Stars?

$300 still sounds good for good posters except boobie since he already won.
u will not be seeing me there tho:D

guess I cant win this then.

as for my goals lets see.

1. end up in the +
2. stick to strict bankroll management
3. play as many league games as my schedule will allow


thats it simple goals for me.

Since I only accomplished one of my goals mine are going to look pretty much the same:

1. Play 6k hands
2. Final table a Tournament ( I got 27th , 30th and 32nd in three 1200+ Person tourneys last month)
3. Win $200
4. Get better at Omaha ( My weakest game and always lose in this round in HORSE)

My goal
1) Not to deposit I only keeep $50 in a site at a time I cashout at a $100
2) cashout $200 I cashed $130 last month.

simple for me.


Win $3,000
Cash in 1 out of the 3 sunday mills ill play.
Wint he league.

Win more than $5k in December.

1. 50k hands
2. PlatinumStar
3. Be Properly Rolled for 100NL and be comfortable there

1. Clear Stars bonus......finally:eek:
2. Win ~$350 in Dec. would bring me to a nice round (small) # for year

1. Build my roll up to $200.
2. Play 2k hands at $10 NL.
3. Boobie has enough points to play ~23 1000 pt tourneys. So, I'd like to use those and place in at least 5. I'm not sure how I want to use the Tourney $ yet. I will decide once I win some.

Why do you limit yourself like this? Are you happy playing the microlimits forever? Because if you never let your bankroll grow, then you've already reached your peak.

I'm sure that's fine for some, but I would have it. I mean, do you really need to $100 that much? Why not try to build it up? You can always cash it out if things start to go badly. Or better yet, if you need that $100, cash it out when you get to $200, so you still have some money online...

I know you get some nice perks at Stars because of the FPPs and stuff, but have you figured out just how much money you are throwing away in rake back by not playing at Full Tilt? I'll guess that 50k hands of your limits would come out to $2500-$3000 in rakeback. And Full Tilt gives out points too, not to mention other rewards for their top players - Iron Man freeroll, free shots at Aussie seats, etc, etc...

Just saying.

And yes, I know you don't like the overlap on your monitor when you play on FT. So peel $1k out of last month's $21k and buy yourself a nice new monitor. :rolleyes:

1. 10k hands of 6 max NL... 2/4 and 3/6 mostly, but the occasional shot at 5/10 is ok. Nothing higher.
2. Don't feel like I HAVE to play every day. If I get Iron Man, great... If not, I don't care. I only want to play when I want to play this month.
3. Log a winning month. Ok ok, a better goal would be for me to say Win $5k, but after last month, I need to just log a winner to get back on track. If I end up CRUSHING this goal, great, but I need to beat it.

hey
 

fixed your post.

As if you even watch them. :rolleyes:

yes
 

only the ones where you actully play, actully have them all on my harddrive right now.

I like the idea of logging a winning month like this month,
lets make it two in a row.

Taking a long vacation this month, and with the holidays on top of it that means not a lot of poker. So my goals are more modest.

1). As always, figure out how to be decision orientated and not results orientated.
2). Play 4K hands
3). Be bankrolled for $50NL at the end of the month.

1) Remain in the black
2) read at least one book about poker strategy
3) play enough to get at least 2 more increments of my first deposit bonus at full tilt

October - Holdem 32,106 hands +$40,932
Omaha 2,249 hands +3,370

November - Holdem 40,309 hands -$3416
Omaha 1,596 hands +1267

December goals:

Lets go for 35,000 hands and 15K. Most of my hands will likely be at 2-4 NL but I have had some success playing as high as 10/20 and will take some shots at bigger games from time to time.

First - Welcome back to the forum. Did you even realize you were chatting with me on Full Tilt earlier tonight? I have a different screen name now than when you met me, so I wasn't sure if you knew it was me. Hint: You were very nice and gave me your stack after I flopped the nuts with KK. :cool:

I find your numbers fascinating, since I also KILLED in October and then logged a losing November. What's up with that?

BTW - I'm also impressed that even with your roll (I assume), you seem to realize that there is nothing wrong with grinding out 2/4 to make relatively easy money... (Take note, JD). For your 32k October hands, what limits did you play mostly? That was a 3/6 and 5/10 month for me, and now I'm back down to 2/4 for a while...

I wonder why you lost in November.....

Yes I knew it was you. Can I have my money back? Please and thank you. I've attached a screenshot of Octobers play.

Clearly that was a value push.

1. Win $100+ in 0.10/0.20 NL.
2. Win $300+ in Limit Hold'em.
3. Win my first tourney with buy-in (i won only freerolls).
4. Play 0.50/1.00 Limit in Party.
5. Cashout $100+.
6. Read, read, read. I have 20+ books in pdf to read.
7. Clear my bonus in Action Poker and cashout all.
8. Play Razz, Omaha or Draw with real money in Stars.

easy goal
 

1) Find out how to cash out money from pstars account.
2) Earn 500$.

1.) have a top 3 finish in a MTT tourney (i should have hit this last night)

2.) Have my total tourney numbers be in the black for december. This counts all tourneys - MTTs, HU, and Sit N Go.

Okay, this is the first time, I think, that I've posted some goals in these threads.

Really, I only have two goals for December:

1) Continue to improve my 2-7 Triple Draw game and not make any jackass plays.

2) Clear my outstanding bonus at poker.com

Oh yeah...there's also a little something about getting a working schedule going for this Talking Poker Radio thing...

1. Final table a tournament in Vegas on vacation.

2. Have a ton of fun while there.

Lol.

Update... I don't care we're only 6 days in.

1) I am going to kill 50k hands this month. 12 tabling is Alot of hands, and I've also been playing Alot of HU, so I am just insane with the hands this month.
2)I should def. beat this.
3) Haven't really gotten any better, guess I'll read or something sometime.
4) I played 2k once and lost 2k, I honestly forgot about my rule or I seriously wouldn't have done it, even if that sounds dumb. I'm not gonna do that any more tho honestly.


oh, and yes, I have Tilted.... Full Tilt is my enemy.

Such tilt today, and this month in general. -7k overall this month. Must playing hold 'em.

what?

Must stop playing hold 'em for the foreseeable future.

Close to half way through the month and I'm alittle behind in my goals...

1. I've played around 1.4k hands. About 100 hands a day during the week.
2. Haven't really played any tourenys this month but I did get a 32nd.
3. So far I have only won $40, so hoping I can pick it up.
4. I've only played Omaha once and haven't really gotten better at it yet.

Hopefully the second half of the month is better for me.

Finally, I'm a winning player for the month of December.

Nice 2k hand stretch there.

i think this is the most hands i've played in a month (and probably another 5k hands at 5/10 on pacific not on PT). i got a new 22" monitor, so i tried 6-7 tabling 2/4 on full tilt... will probably move back up to 3/6 on FT once i've got it totally down pat.

Why are you posting these hands here? Do they have anything to do with your monthly goals?

If not, you should start a new thread (probably in the HSIHPT section), and feel free to explain what you have a question about... or if you are just bragging, say so.

because there's nowhere to post cool hands. please change the beats sections to beats, brags and variance.

Thirded.

Word. for the 2nd time

Meh, we can't bite off 2+2.

I say we call it beats, boasts, and boo-shit.

seconded:thumbsup:

Still does not explain why you posted it here.
How about starting a new thread posting your suggestion instead of mucking up this thread ?

I don't see what the title of a section has to do with posting hands in the wrong THREAD in a completely different section. If you 2+2 lovers want to post Brag posts in the Bad Beat section, go for it. I'd just assume see them in the HSIHPT section though, since 90% of the time someone posts a hand (whether it be asking for advice, complaining about a beat, or bragging), they get comments on how they could have played it better anyway. If anything, I'd still rather leave the annoying Bad Beat section seperate (the whole reason for it is so it can easily be ignored by people who don't want to see all the whining) and change the HSIHPT section to include brag posts, if you feel the need to post them.

In the mean time, start new threads in the "General Poker Discussion" section - since that section covers everything that's not accounted for elsewhere.... but please don't clutter up random threads, like this one that is supposed to be for December Goals.
