September Thread:Goals, Winrates, Updates

[Boobie Lover]

I hit my bankroll mark for moving up to 5/10 NL, too bad my favorite site (Bodog) only spreads full rings tables above 3/6 (which I hate). I'll likely just stay at the 6max 3/6 NL at Bodog since it's basically a license to print money, and dabble playing 5/10 NL at Party and UB. So goals for this month,

1. pay back TP and RD (done)
2. Get a bankroll back online, enough to go back to the $2/$4 NL 6MAX i was on last year, not $3/$6 had too much time off.
3. Qualify for one of the WCOOP NLHE games, and be awake for long enough to play it.
4. Finish buying the Harrington Series, and read vol2 and 3, and re-read vol1.
5. Finish off the website im doing.

Easy goals, if i put enough time and effort into #3 and #2.

I've got too much university stuff this month to play a lot of cards. I'll set my goal at 10k for the month. Trying more 2/4NL and 3/6NL... probably won't play any lhe.

Hands? Or Dollars?

[sjay2k]

I meant dollars, but 10k hands would be good to reach too.

Ok, here are my goals. Some will be results oriented (you'll know which), but that's ok. They are just GOALS. If I don't achieve them, no worries. At least I'm giving myself something to shoot for.

1. Set up a new account at Full Tilt by the 15th - one where I can get some Rake Back. BTW - I should be able to hook you guys up with a fat 27% rakeback there in the very near future. Stay tuned. I'm going to miss my Rogue23 account, and I guess I have a LOT of points to cash out (maybe I'll get a jersey), but playing there a lot and not getting rake back is stupid, I guess. And I plan to be playing a lot soon, as you will see.

2. Beginning on the 15th (this will actually be the 21st for me), earn 10,000 Full Tilt points by October 14th to qualify for one of their Aussie 7 seat giveaway tourneys. I will be playing $400 and $600 NL mostly, but I may play some 6 max limit ($8/16 and $15/30 mostly) to mix things up. I highly doubt I'll be moving up to $1000 NL, but you never know. Maybe I'll have a JD/Boobie month. Or maybe I'll go broke and end up playing at the $100 tables. Ugh.

3. Win a super satellite seat to the Borgata Main event on the 14th. I'm willing to take two shots at this, assuming the tourneys are $1000 each.

4. If #3 happens, I want to play the best I can play during the main event and hopefully go deep. If #3 doesn't happen, I will be playing in the $1000 and $750 tourneys that weekend with the same goal.

5. Make a few attempts at winning trips - Aruba, EPT, WPT PCA, Australia, whatever - and hopefully take one down.

6. Most importantly, I need to get this site updated. I have all sorts of affiliate links I need to get up, changes I want to make to the forum, and most importantly, I've got some rake back deals in the works for everyone. My goal is to have all that set up by the end of this week - the 8th. No more putting it off.

This makes great sense, but I'd be interested to hear your method. I just set up a 2nd account, but am a bit fearful of funding it via the same Neteller account as my 1st account. Also, to get rakeback, I signed up the 2nd account under my own bonus code. Talk about leaving a trail....

I didn't accomplish everything, but all in all, I'll consder it a successful month.

Oh, as for the cash games that I've been focusing on... I started off on a SICK run, definitely on the good side of variance. Since then, I've been mostly breakeven but also had a number of disgusting losing sessions. Overall, I'm still up for the month, and my "luck" has definitely been on the bad side overall. I guess that should be encouraging.

This month started off with me thinking I was God's gift to poker starting off with a nice little 8K in the first four days, basically continuing how hot I was running from August. Then, I broke even for the next twenty days or so which was disapointing. I don't think I can blame it on variance, I was just playing badly. The last five days I finally started to win again. The total winnings from poker for September is $16K.
