STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Hopefully it will help in motivating but my goal is at least 1000 SnGs and 25k.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

1) Finish my 1000 11s and increase my bankroll to over $3k.

2) Read SSHE and HOH and a few others.

3) Buy pokertracker

4) Get ready for the 22s

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

My goal is to improve on last month. I don't like setting myself unattainable goals and being disappointed.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Yeah, just play a couple hundred $11s and $22s mixed in together and hopefully just get better and one day be able to 4-6 table them.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

150-200 11's ending with an ROI 20%+

1.) >15% ROI playing 500+ 20s/
2.) Clear 400$ in UB bonus $ 4-tabling 25-50max NL
3.) reread HPFAP and LLHE and play 1000 hands 6-max at a low limit.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Just changed my pp screen name to start fresh with my stats at the 11's. I'll be trying to turn my $98(downswing I hope) into $660 by the end of the month to make the jump to the 22's. I'll also be hitting the books: HOH, HOH2, SSHE. I'll be headed to vegas in about three weeks so I got's to get my learn on.

1,000 hands at 6-max is honestly a waste of your time.

I've played 15k hands at 6-max and I am still learning the intricacies.

Then I got bored and came back to SNGs lol.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

I plan [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] on being able to comftorbly play the $22s, and be able to tell my friends I make twice as much as they do sitting in front of my laptop, in my underwear.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

survive at 20/40 and 30/60 limit.
(109's if that attempt fails)
play larger buy in mtt's ($100+)
work 40 hours per week
finally get HOH2 read, and reread Middle Limit Holden
stop and think at least 10 sec before every play at a mtt final table.

I have no illusions about learning much about the game in 1000 hands. I just plan to start learning SH limit this month. The 1000 hands was just a reasonable amount that I could see myself playing without costing myself too much $ from my currently profitable games

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

beat the 22s for 10% ROI or higher after 500+ games.

Great goal. I'm trying to think more during all large pots. Too many hasty decisions.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Continute 4-tabling the 22's and get out of the slump that instantly began when I started them.. It really hurts you mentally when you move up and IT instantly happens to you. However, I have become quite clairvoyant recently as I can call the cards that will suck me out on the turn and river.

My goal for August is to play 600 by 4-tabling. If I get a bankroll of 40 $33's then I will move up when that happens; otherwise I shall continue grinding the 22's. Hopefully the move to the 33's will happen as as soon as possible so I can use part of the bankroll to set up a two monitors.

Good luck with everyone's goals.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

500 Tournaments, half $11, half $22
ROI >20% $11
ROI >10% $22
Track the stats accurately this month.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

My goal is pretty straight-forward and relates to my SNG Tracker graph:

a) make the blue line go up
b) make the red line go up
c) make the green line go up...damn you green line

That is all.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Have you picked up King Yao's book? He has a long section on short handed in it.

My goal is to spend 70+% of my poker playing time playing STT's to get an hourly rate estimation with a higher associated confidence than my current one. (I'm hoping that Hood's goal is to get support for the postgresSQL databases live [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Find second rakeback deal for another party skin.

Try 6-8 tabling.

Play 500 SNGs in the $11s to $33s.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

My plans for August are:

1)Get an account on a skin w/ rakeback so I stop throwing money away
2)Start posting more and being more involved in this forum
3)Play at least 100 hours of SNGs
4)Get netteller

Long term goal (August and beyond)

Start depositing/bonus whoring on lots of sites while learning to play limit holdem.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Play a lot of SNGs.
Make a lot of money.
Find good rakeback deal on Party and start mixing in STEPS with 200s.
Play at least 4 decent size MTTs a week ($150+ buyin).

I plan on improving my game next month, but this month I have too much free time, gotta grind some out.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Get my bankroll up to 100x buyins for the $50s and move back there, hopefully make a big dent on the buyins needed to go up to $100 as well. Probably via the $30s on the way, which will be very soon.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Well, 40 hours per week is tough. But, my wife is staying at home now so I am trying. Ive been able to the last 2 weeks. Our deal is she get's to quit work and stay home, but takes care of most of the shopping, cooking, cleaning, running the older kids around and watching the younger ones. I work more and make enough to replace her income/benifits.

Thats the deal, so my goal is 40 to 45 hours a week of play. I can lower that if I continue to have success at the bigger games, but for now i'm trying to get in that routine.

The second goal came about last night, when I basically gave away $11000 in a mtt. It got to heads up, I got excited and made a typical stt hu play, not stoping to realize we had a ton of chips relative to the blinds. As I get to more and more larger final tables, hopefully i will calm down, but for now I get a little over excited and don't play my best. Hopefully slowing down can help that.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

Move from 8-tabling to 12-tabling without a significant drop in ROI.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

I play on a weird european site that gave me free money since I can't desposit anything...so I can't really keep stats unless I want to write down all my results- so I'd say make 600 euros playing 4-5 tables at the 10's...

I'm also working 30 hrs/week and enjoying the summer weather so I don't know if I'll have enough time (and luck) but we'll see.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

My goal is to be #1 and #2 on the Empire leaderboard instead of #1 and # 3.

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

I will make a bagillion dollars.

I will pick some deal that I find on a Dell 2001fp and just buy a 2nd one already.

I will buy a new graphics card to go with it.

I will break down and buy some other crap too:
- New TV
- Universal Remote
- Possibly some new speakers
- Possibly a laptop

I will plan a vacation.

I will attempt to get a job (hippy).

I will eat, drink, and be merry.

I'm sure there's others too, but that's all that's springing to my mind.

If i can fit the remaining 800+ games in, but I think thats being too optimistic, more likely be mid sept.... (I've made more then $1k, i've just started a 1000 sng challenge just over a week ago)

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

a)play 100 10/1s @ &gt;20% roi
b)use sng power tools to learn all about how stack sizes, calling ranges, blinds, etc all affect my equity in bubble action and hone my instincts to be pretty accurate in determining +/- ev situations on my own
c)play 1 decent mtt tourney a week with sng winnings to both learn and to give me a shot at that 'instant br' that many people have had to jumpstart their careers

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

50+ SnGs a day
actually review HH's after a bad day
play a few mtts and learn NL ring

Re: STT Monthly Goal Post...August
 

I'd like to make 1000/week. I have been averaging about 1k a week but I'd like it to be more consistant. Have all winning weeks between 500-1500. Yes I realize this is a fantasy.
