October Goals Thread

[Exitonly]

I thuoght this was helpful last month, and i ended up reaching my goals so i'm going to write some new ones up and see if i can keep it up.

** Win satelite to Atlantis.
** FT >$100 buyin.
** 150% ROI.


What about you guys.

[dknightx]

** Win satelite to Atlantis.
** Win 10:15 $11r

[LethalRose]

I was going to post the exact same thing...

My results last month were good, I won the 5r for a little over 3k and made several deep finishes in the 10r. So I have a very nice profit for this month.

Next month my only goal is to win the 10r and play more SNG's as they are profitable. I have all but stopped playing cash ring games except for a few short sessions as they hurt my MTT game.

As far as skills I need to work on, patience is one of them. I also need to work on resteals.

[yvesaint]

win 100 + 9 w/50r 20k guaranteed on prima. ive placed 8, 13, 20, and 6 out of the last 4 times in a field of about 100. ugh.

[IHateKeithSmart]

Not a good goal given the forum, but I need to spend less time playing MTTs. I usually only have 2 or so hours a day to play poker, which isn't very good for tourneys. Also, I make tons more playing cash games. I can't help it though, tourneys are just more fun.

At any rate, my goal for the month will be 2 final tables (out of probably 30 tourneys).

[Autocratic]

I just started playing MTTs, so I want to A. make a final table and B. win one. Preferably in a fairly big field.

I think I'm actually gonna cut down on my online MTT's next month as they consumed my life in September, but not till tomorrow, I win one today = I can still get #1 for month on Bodog -_-
I plan on grinding off my 300$ redeposit bonus in ring games on Full Tilt (somewhat slower than other site's bonuses), and get as many points as I can towards a Full Tilt football jersey, those things look pimp as hell~
Maybe Ill go back to SnG's / Steps? Iunno, doubt it though. Kinda in the mood for some relaxing SS cash games inbetween getting some RL things done. I LOVE MTT's more than anything else in poker, but I played a disgusting amount this September and I don't want to let myself get burned out. I don't think that can happen though, I'm playing one right now and the thought of taking a break already makes me miss them.

[Punker]

Play 0 or fewer MTTs this month to help my wife through the first trimester.

not sure whether or not that's cEV

[Yuv]

There are quite a few problematic patterns in my approach that I'd like to fix (like playing less hours, more focused, bring my A game everytime I play, stop registering for tournaments I don't really want to play, stop multi tabling like crazy and so on).

Results wise, I'd like to gain about 3-5k overall this month, which means at least 6k off MTT's (since I will donk off some in the cash games, like I do every month). I would be happy if I'd stop losing HU whenever I reach the final 2, even tho I don't really mind the blow to the ego. I'll take a bunch of 2nd place finishes if that's what it take.

My ultimate goal, of course, is to win a Stud H/L tournament, a game I played for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed. I have no idea how to play, I barely know the rules, let alone good strategy for tournament play, but I will win one, no doubt in my mind!

College starts here in the first of November, so I have to make this month count. A 11r win would be a nice "back to school" gift.

Pokerchamps is having satellise to a Swedish poker program in which I would love to try to qualify. Would be awesome to finally be at a table in live tv. I would have a pretty nice shot at this since those that I have seen on tv in Sweden are, well, not good.

That's my goal for the month, to get to that tournament. Some nice prize money there too.

[IMTheWalrus8]

My first goal is to win one of these damn things. Seven FTs and no first yet. My monthly goals:

1. Make a FT in one of the higher buy-in MTTs I'm playing now. (Stars $45K or PP $40K)
2. Hit my $ BR target so I can buy a new Dell with a 2001fp. One monitor just isn't enough anymore.
3. Qualify for one of the Stars or PP Sunday tourneys and finish ITM.
4. Clear my FullTilt and UB bonii at $2 LHE with a positive BB/hour. This would probably lead to my accomplishing Goal #2.

Great idea to post this stuff. GL to everyone.

This was my goal last month. I allotted myself $500 to win one, and started playing on Paradise. I hated Paradise so much I cut it short at the $200 mark, but now I see UB has $100 satellites every Monday night until the event. So I will play 3 of those this month, and that will take up my WPT allowance.

I also realized playing the live satellites at Foxwoods is probably the best bet, as I went down a couple weeks ago, breezed through an Act I, then breezed most of the way through an Act II before bubbling to a bad beat. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to get down there often enough to win a seat there.

[Adam22]

what is this 'atlantis' that you guys want to qualify for?

[2005]

Stars just added Foxwoods Sats.
