My goals suck, but I might as well post them...

1. Play 5k hands at 0.05 / 0.10 - I know that is low but I'm trying to keep good bankroll Mangement.

2. Final table a Tournament

3. Win $200

4. Try to play in atleast one league event.

I hate thinking about that. Having been stacked more times than I would like in the last 2 weeks, I can't help but look at the PT graphs and wonder what if...Good luck with the goals this month.

Define "catches you." Do we have to catch you in the act, or it is ok if we point it out later on that day?

Cause I wouldn't mind a free two hundey.

Traveling a lot this month, and when I'm not traveling I've got a lot of time sensitive projects at work. therefore...

1. Get Pokertracker and get it configured.
2. Spend as much time analyzing my play as I do playing.

I want to hit 1 grand by the end of the month. I also would like to get laid at least 4 times this month by the wife. Well hopefully I hit $1000 anyway.

I haven't been playing as much poker as I used to lately. Mostly I'm only online when trying to clear a bonus. But here are mine.

1. Since I've been playing mostly cash games to clear the bonuses and I prefer tourneys. Play at least one tournament this month (excluding the TP league).
2. Play in at least one more league game.

Damn, son... that's one hell of a day! I'll consider me asking you last night how you were doing for the month the GL that you needed!

I haven't played a single hand today.

But that's ok, cause I'm winning a PCA seat tomorrow and cashing in the Iron Man freeroll. Consider those bonus goals for my list.

Well, we're halfway through the month, so I guess it's time for an update. Wrapping up my worst day EVER right now, this update is gonna sting. Ugh. Today was really, really, really bad (down about $4000). I feel like I played ok for the most part, but I also missed damn near every flop for 600 hands (is that even possible???), and my opponents just clobbered me. The funny thing is, I didn't even have very many HUGE pots where I got stacked or anything... it was just a very annoying downward spiral all day long. On thing I have learned is that the good opponents at 5/10 NL are a LOT better than the good ones at 3/6. They are MUCH more aggressive, 3 and 4 betting regularly. This doesn't go so well with my style, where I like to be the aggressive one. No tilt, btw.

Anyway, enough crying... on to the goals:

1. I'll make this goal easily. I have 8800 hands logged - 2000 of 5/10 and all the rest 3/6.
2. This shouldn't be a problem either. I've only "missed" two days, meaning I can miss 3 more this month and still make it.
3. Hmmm... I think I've only made ONE so far in November. Guess I'm gonna need to get on that - I should have made one today instead of getting my ass handed to me all day long.
4. Yesterday, I was on pace for this. Today, not so much. I didn't quite piss away ALL of my winnings for the month, but I am up just $1700 now.... That's a LONG way from $10,000, but I can honestly say that I have been running pretty badly this month. Yes, it could definitely be worse (I had a couple of streaks where I ran well), but overall, I've definitely been running below average this month... at least I hope I have been.

I've decided I need to work on my 8+ tabling skills. So, if you see me at a shitload of 2/4 tables, I'm not busto.

My worst streak ever, by a lot, has continued for yet another day. Yes, I won a very nice Bahamas trip in the middle of said streak last night, but in cash games, I am running colder than I thought possible. I don't feel like it has effected my play much, but realistically, IT HAS TO BE. I don't see how it couldn't. If nothing else, it's affected how my opponents see me at the tables (as a loser), which will make them more likely to call me down (since I lose so many showdowns), and that doesn't go very well with a frigid deck. I could completely change my style for a while, and I may need to.... I don't even know.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this in this thread. I guess it's because I've gotten my 10k hands in now but I am WELL down for the month... MY $10k goal is pretty much an impossibility now... I'd be happy if I could just get back to even for the month.

I cashed out a lot of my Neteller account last week (thinking I wouldn't need the money online anytime soon and hating that it was sitting there earning 0% interest), and I'm really glad I did. Right now, my online bankroll (which is obviously not my true bankroll) is pretty tight. I'm going to try to rebuild here without reloading...

I may move down a level for a while or I may take a break all together. I'm not sure yet. but I'm sick of losing large sums of money day after day after day because of (mostly) SICK variance.

With your style TP, variance will definitely be much greater than others. I think the regulars are probably starting to bluff check/raise you a lot more knowing you cbet the flop far greater than most.

Damn regulars!

If that was the extent of it, that would be one thing... but I'm getting my money in with the best of it and being drawn out on a LOT more than one would expect. And I'm just not getting big hands either. And when there is a big hand vs. bigger hand situation, I seem to be on the losing end of it (regardless of which hand I held) about 80 or 90% of the time.

I think you are right about the regulars though......

Yes, I recall. So, reverse roles - you're me. How do you play AK differently here?
