It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Had a bad October? Didn't qualify for WPT? Didn't make a FT? Not to worry! November is on its way!

Goals:

1.) Atlantis, plain and simple.. not even for the poker, but I need something memorable, I think this would do the trick.. plan on doing a lot of micro-sats and we'll take it from there.

2.) Make a FT, just one, in a large field tourney.. I've been close, but haven't broken through yet.. Won't be playing many MTT due to school, maybe like 5 or so/ week, but i think it's possible

3.) Qualify for a Sunday 500K guaranteed and just play in that.. just want the feel of a big tournament with a lot on the line.

4.) No Hellmuthian outbursts

Play better in MTTs. Break my cold streak of non-cashes. Win more $$ than last month. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**

This month's goals:

1. FT a $10+
2. work on my tilt
3. work on mid stack play, try to get better at it
4. try out some satellites (and win)

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1. Cash in at least 5 satellites.
2. Cash in at least 1 100+ buy-in tournament.
3. Final table at least 2 small stakes tournaments.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Never, ever click the blackjack icon on party again....I blew off $350 with half (ok pretty much an entire) load on last Thurs. night.

Do 1 spot better than my Oct. best finish (5th in a 590 runner)

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1) pay rent

october pwnd me

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1: rebuild bankroll with 3 and 5 table $11s. These are my ATM. rebuild roll so I can go for possible atlantis qualifier in Dec.

2: On a similar note: Stay far, far, far away from the $45k guaranteed $10 rebuy. This killed my roll. I don't have the roll for this variance.





3: Play the $20 10 tables occasionaly, but with more agrro to reach FT. I've cashed twice ( which is like, 3 hours work for $20) and both times, built big stacks early and been completely card dead 2nd hour. I'm starting to think I have to be aggro there with big stack, even if card dead, because both times I hit the bubble without a big stack to really push people around.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

October was a downer.

Enjoy my mtt`s, play less and with more quality.

1) avoid on line poker

4) get out of debt
5) don't get further into debt
6) build a bankroll
7) read harrington's book
8) play TTM on the computer
9) if I have to play, play for play money or at least play within my non-existent bankroll

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

I also got my ass kicked by october. Im back to cash games and playing a few MTT's here and there. My goal is a ROI over 100 for the month.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

October was my first month playing MTTs on PS.
I reached my goal of making a $100+ Final Table last night with a 4th in the $100+R [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Make enough money to go on Spring Break.

Stop trying to bluff calling stations.

Stop playing while intoxicated.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Make top 100 for the month again on the Stars TLB [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
Play less MTTs.
Start playing the $10+1-rebuy 45k guaranteed at Stars every night and have a positive result.
Make final table of 1 $30+3 NLHE deepstack tourney and 1 final table of a PLO deepstack tourney.
Slightly OT, continue to crush the NL$100, grow a sack and move up to the $200.
Break even(at least) after all the cashouts that will be made.

Good luck to all of you and your goals.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1) (trumps all others) Stop playing if I'm -EV or breakeven in college (I think this was my October goal too)
2) Win a Bodog guaranteed tournament
3) Figure out a way to get Excel for free so I can track results again (PM me, please).

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Qualify to Monte Carlo. Not losing too much money. Surviving the winter (I'm sick already. Can't handle cold weather).

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Good October - ITM in 2 supers, 3 final tables in $109 MTTs though all with fields of <200, but then I only entered about 10.

1. Play all the big Sunday events - this is a major challenge as they take place at 5:30 Monday morning for me.
2. Take much better notes in the 109s I play - many of the players are the same day in, day out.
3. FT a super for chrissakes. I must have finished between 20th & 70th 20 times.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1.) play on a more consistent basis.

I have been playing on and off and haven't been posting lately. Also to switch from my drunken home games to playing some sat and sun MTT's online. (even thought they are earlier than i like).

2.) Maintain my BR better, not cashing when i "need money" for other venues.

3.) play more, post more.

4.) FT a super

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

Get back on the tournament grind
Win tournaments, FT BoDog 100k
Top 10 for the month on BoDog (at least)
Win a step or two on party

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

win every tournament
kiss a girl
work on table image

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1) Sattelite into a few of the bigger tourneys
2) Qualify got the PPM Cruise (This is more important than Atlantis to me, as I love cruising)
3) Move the bankroll back over 5 Figures, since I spent near half of it on a new Computer setup.

not to clog up this thread or derail it, but just to give some friendly advice:

i used to have a problem (and my roi shows it) with playing while drunk. my solution (and it worked, for me) was to start up an account on a site with a bunch of low limit tourneys/games (as a partypoker regular, this was pokerstars), put like $200 on there, and when i wanted to play while drunk, just go on there and screw around. doing this has probably saved me a great deal of money.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1. Avoid cash games
2. Make a final table
3. Keep trying to qualify for Atlantis

I won 2 MTTs(my first two final tables) in October but then blew all my profits in cash games. Avoid avoid avoid. Time to rebuild the old BR. G/L all with goals

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

win the UB Sunday 150k. and I'm proud to say that I accomplished my October goal.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

First priority is to rebuild the BR (any ideas?), since i blew it on very poorly played SNGs. play mtts better and Final Table some large field mtt.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

I just want to make one FT. Just one. that's all. Not much to ask, is it?

Based on my experiences the last couple months, not only is it too much to ask, it's actually impossible to make a final table. That said, my goals are:

1. Make a final table in a Super or a Sunday tournament (that's about all the tournaments I play).

2.An increase from the -87% ROI of last month (3 cashes in the 3 smallest tournaments I played and no other cashes = bad)

3. Win a seat in a big live event. Following Exitonly as he did so well in the EPT made me want this one even more.

4. Continue my slow comeback from my dreadful start at 30/60 and continue to run well at 15/30 and 20/40.

5. Post more. I tell myself to do this a lot and never end up doing it. This time...

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

I'm playing full time now but most of my focus will be on NL cash games.

1)(main goal) - clear 10k playing the ring games

2)(secondary goal) - win a PStars rebuy tourney. These will probably be the only tournies I play unless I win a seat to a big weekend one.

3)(if i have time goal) - qualify for the PCA (seems like everybody's doing it)

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1. first place in $1-$3 MTT

me too. I actually had 3 this month, but two of them didnt pay (small sats for big events. i was runner-up in the 33r for atlantis) and 22 stud/8 for 200 really doesnt count.

also, I would like to get luckier. that's all.

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

(1) Play more

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**

2) Win $
3) Win the MTT TLB contest (should be easy)

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

My Goals :

1. Stop going out in 4th on STT's...
2. Start playing more MTT's...
3. Increase BR...

Re: It\'s that time again...* *November Goals Thread**
 

1 Get back into the MTT grind make a profit for the month.

2 Play a few more deep stack tournaments to gain experience for any big tournaments down the road. PLayed the $10 on Sunday was bubble boy 100 out of 1100 99 paid, look to improve on that.

2 Get back into the limit grind to get my bankroll moving again.

3 Post more in the strategy forums instead of oot.
