7. Clear my bonus in Action Poker and cashout all.
8. Play Razz, Omaha or Draw with real money in Stars.

[murkosk]

1) Find out how to cash out money from pstars account.
2) Earn 500$.

[bdawg31]

1.) have a top 3 finish in a MTT tourney (i should have hit this last night)

2.) Have my total tourney numbers be in the black for december. This counts all tourneys - MTTs, HU, and Sit N Go.

[Robbie Robb]

Okay, this is the first time, I think, that I've posted some goals in these threads.

Really, I only have two goals for December:

1) Continue to improve my 2-7 Triple Draw game and not make any jackass plays.

2) Clear my outstanding bonus at poker.com

Oh yeah...there's also a little something about getting a working schedule going for this Talking Poker Radio thing...

[Akverno]

1. Final table a tournament in Vegas on vacation.

2. Have a ton of fun while there.

[lightfungus]

Lol.

[JDMcNugent7]

Update... I don't care we're only 6 days in.

1) I am going to kill 50k hands this month. 12 tabling is Alot of hands, and I've also been playing Alot of HU, so I am just insane with the hands this month.
2)I should def. beat this.
3) Haven't really gotten any better, guess I'll read or something sometime.
4) I played 2k once and lost 2k, I honestly forgot about my rule or I seriously wouldn't have done it, even if that sounds dumb. I'm not gonna do that any more tho honestly.


oh, and yes, I have Tilted.... Full Tilt is my enemy.

[Boobie Lover]

Such tilt today, and this month in general. -7k overall this month. Must playing hold 'em.

[JDMcNugent7]

what?

[Boobie Lover]

Must stop playing hold 'em for the foreseeable future.

[juiCe[3x]]

Close to half way through the month and I'm alittle behind in my goals...

1. I've played around 1.4k hands. About 100 hands a day during the week.
2. Haven't really played any tourenys this month but I did get a 32nd.
3. So far I have only won $40, so hoping I can pick it up.
4. I've only played Omaha once and haven't really gotten better at it yet.

Hopefully the second half of the month is better for me.

[Boobie Lover]

Finally, I'm a winning player for the month of December.

[Talking Poker]

Nice 2k hand stretch there.

[sjay2k]

i think this is the most hands i've played in a month (and probably another 5k hands at 5/10 on pacific not on PT). i got a new 22" monitor, so i tried 6-7 tabling 2/4 on full tilt... will probably move back up to 3/6 on FT once i've got it totally down pat.

[Talking Poker]

Why are you posting these hands here? Do they have anything to do with your monthly goals?

If not, you should start a new thread (probably in the HSIHPT section), and feel free to explain what you have a question about... or if you are just bragging, say so.

[sjay2k]

because there's nowhere to post cool hands. please change the beats sections to beats, brags and variance.

[Boobie Lover]

Thirded.

[JDMcNugent7]

Word. for the 2nd time

[PShabi]

Meh, we can't bite off 2+2.

I say we call it beats, boasts, and boo-shit.

[X-Longshot-X]

seconded

[Robbr25]

Still does not explain why you posted it here.
How about starting a new thread posting your suggestion instead of mucking up this thread ?

[Talking Poker]

I don't see what the title of a section has to do with posting hands in the wrong THREAD in a completely different section. If you 2+2 lovers want to post Brag posts in the Bad Beat section, go for it. I'd just assume see them in the HSIHPT section though, since 90% of the time someone posts a hand (whether it be asking for advice, complaining about a beat, or bragging), they get comments on how they could have played it better anyway. If anything, I'd still rather leave the annoying Bad Beat section seperate (the whole reason for it is so it can easily be ignored by people who don't want to see all the whining) and change the HSIHPT section to include brag posts, if you feel the need to post them.

In the mean time, start new threads in the "General Poker Discussion" section - since that section covers everything that's not accounted for elsewhere.... but please don't clutter up random threads, like this one that is supposed to be for December Goals.
