Having a goal involving "make a certain amount of money" is very dumb.

I completely disagree with this.

As much as you want to believe that you are God, you can't now nor will you ever be able to control how much money you make when play a given amount of poker.

Hoping to do so will only lead to stress, frustration, and disappointment in the long run.

But if you like those kinds of things, go ahead and make these goals.

Where in my post did I ever say anything about being able to control how much I make?

Money goals are good motivational tools. They can be a good way to get yourself to put in the hours and hands that you want.

Re: September Goals
 

Sept. Goals:
-chill out get in solid hours, not put any pressure on myself..usually that means 10K-12K hands a week
-play higher amount of my total play at NLHE -now already about 60%/40% bigbet/limit
-continue to focus on 6MAX mostly over Full games either limit or no limit
-rely less on rakeback by continuing to play in the best games -often away from Party.
-Play fewer hours but play in higher games..accompanied with more study. If I'm not playing all $5-10/$200 NLHE 6MAX/Full and up by the end of 2005 I'll be quite disappointed.
-Study more, read HUSH,Mid-High Stakes Limit and NL forums daily.
-join registered Masters Swim Team/Program.
- get out to see music weekly
-pre-qualify for a mortgage
-stop spending so much time on datamining ..it's taking away from playing time
-browse and post on 2+2 with more efficiency

Re: September Goals
 

1. 12-table 10/20 6-max for 80K hands, making $150K with rakeback and bonuses. Just kidding. 3-table 2/4 full for 10K hands.
2. Finish SSHE, Weighing the Odds, Real Poker II.
3. Post my quarterly hand.
4. Flirt with the insanely cute checker at Safeway who is much too young for me.
5. Return to the gym.
6. Go out after work at least thrice.
7. Casually mention to my boss that my review is now six months late.
8. Take another stab at 6-max which, except for my very first attempt, repeatedly chews me up and spits me out.
9. See if I can dual-screen using my extra monitor and dead PC's video card installed in my new PC.

Just planning on getting busier at work, enjoying some non-poker things before it gets cold, and getting a little complacent after digging myself out of a big downswing in July.

Re: September Goals
 

three weeks in, how we doin'?

(by the way, my Sep. goal was to return to regular play and rebuild my bank after the horrific run that was part of the reason I stopped... mission semi-accomplished)

Wow am I a slacker. I'm 0-3. Looks like I'm getting a little too distracted playing World of Warcraft.
