[JDMcNugent7]

[Talking Poker]

Is it an "August Goals" thread, I presume?

[JDMcNugent7]

only 3 ppl with goals?
lame
they dont have to be big impressive goals, just anything.

[omahilo]

I will be playing mostly MTTs so I'll make a simple goal...

I want to win a seat to aleast one WCOOP event this month.

[Boobie Lover]

I'm mostly addicted to my recently purchased Xbox 360. For August, my goals will be a lot less than they usually are. 10K hands at 600 NL on Bodog and UB.


JD, don't you only play with one monitor? You are going to have to play a whole lot of hours to get 40K hands on 4 tables.

[GeoffM]

Roughly 200 on each table, based on 50 hands per hour.

[JDMcNugent7]

i usually play on my 13'' laptop only, 8 tables at about ~102 hands per hour.

ive been playing 4 lately cuz my laptop went out and my bigger, older desktop, could fit the tables easier, but its so old and slow i fugred out that at about 7 tables it freezes up, ive been trying to do 6, but i didnt play at all yesterday and prob wont play any today. i go in huge spurts.

[drewjax]

Getting ready for a move (to a state with Neteller!!!

gonna be playing a lot more. I will post some MUCH more modest goals than some here later on.

GL to all.

[MAYHEM45]

Seriously assholes, lets go.

UPDATE: Day 1 = super gay. Won a donkament (215 W$ wowowow). Lost almost 1k in cash games. Poker sucks.

[ashmc2]

My goal is to make $500 this month. So we will round up and that means that my bankroll needs to reach $3200. I am playing $100NL.

[BrianSwa]

I have started playing very very rarely now, mainly just tourneys, dont want to play cash games at all. Next year during the world series I want to join one of the side events, maybe 1k or so buy in. I really want to say I tried it at least once. Plus I will have 3 weeks of vacation and my wife wants to spend a week in Vegas and told me If I had the money for the event I could play in it.

so my goal for this month is to stay away from cash games and just concentrate on becomeing a stonger tourney player. Going to stick to very low buyins $5 and under. I dont need to win alot I just want the experience.

[Tony Cheval]

My goal is to make at least $800 this month, as I am out of work (REALLY bad day and a looming 50 hour week made me snap) and this would pay the bills at minimum. Managed to make enough to cover the last 2 weeks with those Titan FTs, would've been better if I hadn't been stupid and clicked on the shiny Party BJ button at 5am though.

[Talking Poker]

We've all been wondering how long you "never playing online poker again" would last. Now we know!

[Reel Deal]

My goal is simply to be more awesomer.

[MAYHEM45]

UPDATE: 2 for 2 in W$ sattelites. Seriously these things are soft as hell. 391W$ in the bank so far. Hmm, maybe Ill try to get to Barcelona as well as play in the WCOOP. This is gonna be a good month.

[JDMcNugent7]

do it dude, im thinkin of doing it too, i got $475 in W$ to try their qualifier with.

[MAYHEM45]

Im gonna play at least one of these, let me know when you wanna jump in one.

I have three engineering buddies interning in Germany right now, and they all said Barcelona is tits, literally.

[omahilo]

which satties did you play to win the W$? Ive played a $11 DS and had no luck, maybe I should try a different one.

[MAYHEM45]

First was a 11+R (in for $31)to the ept online baden final = 215 W$
Second was a 36+3 to the ept online barcelona final = 215 W$

The first one was awesome. I really love that they are offering regular 11R sattys now. The turbos are easy as well, but the stalling is just too fucking gay for my liking, and the 3R takes like 12 years to finish. 11R with 15 min levels is the perfect balance.
