During the last month (June 2005)

[shant]

So it's officially the last day of June and I think it's time we share our results. For those of you who missed it, Jason came up with a goals thread for June and people posted their goals for the month. If you posted in there, quote your original goals, and then let's hear the results. I'll go first:

[ QUOTE ]
-Play 25k hands at 5/10 6-max and not want to choke people through the screen

[/ QUOTE ]
I only ended up playing 16k hands. I also still want to kill everyone I play against at that level.
Total goals completed:+0

[ QUOTE ]
-Play some more live (I agree it's relaxing and the decisions are much easier)

[/ QUOTE ]
I did a lot of this between Vegas and trips to Commerce and Hustler.
Total goals completed:+1

It is starting to get really good now, I'm still reading it. The book started off kind of slow, and I just didn't pick it up much, but was on a plane today, and now I'm into it.

I will make a separate post later to keep track of these goals, but this is brainstorming for now:
-Atleast two weeks of full-time (> 30 hrs) 2-tabling 5/10 6M or better.
-Stab 10/20 when I have 300 BB lying around.
-Go to Vegas? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
-Reread TOP/HEPFAP. Possibly find another book.
-Write more about this tomorrow.

Ultimate goal:
-30/60 by August 11th.
-Rent a penthouse on the beach for a weekend with favorite 2p2ers, friends, women, and drinks.

Failed. Everything. Still. Renting.
