November Thread: Goals, Winrates, Updates

[bdawg31]

In mid-late-october i had to basically restart from scratch. It was a painful step - but I think its going to be one i am glad i made. Anyway, here are my goals for November (keeping in mind my 'start-over' roll was $300 - basically what i started with oh-so-long ago. My roll has grown a bit thorugh October).

1.) Play 5k hands of $50 NL short seated. That 5k hand goal might be a bit high since i will be missing some poker time over Thanksgiving and a couple of other weekends this month.

(btw - i know i am not ideally funded for this level. I dont need feedback on that. If i go broke, i plan on reloading next year)

2.) Get comfortable with 3 tabling $50 NL games. I am comfortable 2 tabling now and I am pretty sure i am ready for this step.

3.) Increase my bankroll. I dont want to set any monetary-specific goal here - i dont want to chase money. I just want to see an increase. Hmmm, i guess its silly to post this though since that is kinda obvious. Okay, i will pick a number - i am going to set my sights relatively low. How about...... $800 (i am at appx $540 right now).

4.) Work a bit more getting comfortable/confident with re-raising preflop with hands other than AA, KK and QQ. And knowing when i should and shouldn't do that.

5.) Get PAHUD running optimally and utilzing that data. I started using PT to serioulsy study my game in October and I think it has helped a lot. I have PAHUD downloaded - i just have to get it set up right.

I feel like I made a break-through over the past couple of weeks in understanding what tilt means to me. For me it is a far subtler tweaking of my postflop thought process than I previously appreciated. Just playing 6-max was enough to turn a moderately successful full ring micro NL player into a 6-max micro NL post-flop action junkie. But I think I am getting a handle on it. So my goals are:

1). 7.5K hands of tilt-free $25NL 6-max
2). Take some shots at $50NL 6-max
3). Build my bankroll so that I am comfortable playing $50NL exclusively by the end of the month (30 buyins for me)
4). Be happy with the decisions I make, independent of the results.
