December Goals...

[BrianSwa]

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.

[Talking Poker]

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.

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...

[LowKey]

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

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

December was my best month, as far as results. I also think I improved my game a lot this month. I am really working on thinking through hands and for the most part it has been successful.

$25NL-1420 hands/$130.10
$50NL-8338 hands/$714.25
RB-$91
Bonus-$180
Total-$1115.35

Been there, done that. Funny how that works isn't it?

I've had a few past conversations on AIM after being on a rough streak in LHE where someone asks, "How's it going?" and I answer, "playing better than ever."

"What'd you change?" they would ask.

Usual answers included:

"Paying attention."
or
"Thinking."

It is two in a row !!!
And I made a big comeback on the year too (total gambling, not just poker)
Only -$341 on the year instead of like -$1500 or so where I was early this fall.
Poker I was +$38 overall (don't play at very high limits)
