Poker goals this year

[BrianSwa]

So what do you think I should set the goal with assuming im playing 3 hours a day 5 days a week at .50/1.00? I set a pretty reasonable goal to make but if it should be higher please share.

[GeoffM]

At that limit, I don't know, I make about $15 an hour on O8B. I don't know how hold'em compares though. Should be somewhere in the area of $7.50 - $10 though I would assume.

[BrianSwa]

maybe $3,000? I think I can reach that. OK I moved it up to $4,000 by the end of the year, I think I can do It I have faith in myself.

[Aequitas58]

Make it $5,000!

LOL.

[BrianSwa]

no $5,000 I think is a little unreachable, $4,000 might be to but that is what im making my goal at. Wish there was some way I could prove If I do it or not, since I know you wont believe me either way If I told you Lou.

[Gutzz]

Yeah I think this monetary goal is a little bit ridiculous.

Just make your goal to play good poker and to improve your game. check the forums (TP and 2+2), post some hands, learn, read, play.

Also you play a lot dude. You should set shorter sessions for yourself, especially if you're prone to going on tilt easily.

Anywho, I don't know what a solid longterm winrate is for .5/1, but when I played it, I was averaging 7BB/100. Although I didn't play more than 12k hands there, so that doesn't mean so much. I think longterm I might be more like 3-4 tops... Even with the really bad players, I didn't suffer any torturous bad runs.

Cheers,

Gutzz

[EDIT: PS. Holy crap I just read a few of my older posts... I'm always telling people that their goal shouldn't be to win money roflmao. I just think it's better to focus on winrates and holes in your game, to treat the chips like chips, and not money.]

[BrianSwa]

I did limit the amount of time I'm gonna play, 3 hours a day 5 days a week, but I do like to have some sort of money total I'd like to shoot for but thanks for suggestion.

[Aequitas58]

You're too much of a novice, Brian.

4 grand? C'mon.

[ChipFish]

4 grand... Snicker. Good one.

How many hours at the sit-n-gos with the 5 cent payouts?
Snicker.

[BrianSwa]

whatever you say pro, since you have never seen me play really dont care what you say. The rest of the people on here I care very much, cant we go back to how you stayed out of my threads and I stayed out of yours I got so much more better advice that way.

[johnbaker]

on a similar note, i'm going to hit the bad beat jackpot 8 times in the next month... its so beatable, i mean its just free money.... i know im a good jackpot player so i like my chances; wanna stake me brian? ill chase every running quads and every running straight flush draw i find, and split the jackpot with u when i hit it

[BrianSwa]

forget about it, forget I ever mentioned anything to any of you. Im still gonna do it but not bother posting here about it, no reason to even continue this thread let it die. Not much reason to post here if just getting sarcasim and gay comments the like 4 or 5 people on here that actully post something worth reading.
