Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post

9.27 hours, 3,746 hands
$872.43
$94.15/hr

I dont play enough hands. I'm going to try to play 2k hands/day.

If I can meet that goal I dont care about the $ that comes with it, Ill be happy.

$5k / month.

I've come close a few times but haven't actually met my goal yet. I always somehow end up taking like half of each month off as well. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Just out of interest, what stakes are you guys playing at with these goals?

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

Ancient,

How can you be making that much money per month and be on a downswing at the same time ?

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

I don't make anywhere near that much if I'm on a downswing, but I didn't say I was on a downswing did I?

I had a marginally winning month for February, but tack on bonuses and rakeback still gives me a decent ending amount.

I also play a crapload of hands. I usually put in anywhere from 80 - 120 table hours per month but I'm trying to get more in. Problem is I always get burnt out halfway through the month and take a week off.

$3k/wk for '05 and im woefully short. if i can adjust to these bigger party games tho....

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

I'm trying to set a 2k this month playing part time only at the $50 NL games.

Right now,

35 table hours, 2623 hands

-$253.74
-$7.22/table hour
-$9.67/100

Whoopdee doo!!! I'm off to a fantastic start in the deep stack Party games and I can attribute to awesome awesome players like the following:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Hero ($50.55)
MP ($64.4)
Button ($89.9)
SB ($51.75)
BB ($38.1)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
Hero calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $14.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $50.05 (All-In), Button folds, SB calls $35.55.

Flop: ($102.10) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: ($102.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($102.10) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $102.10

Hero has Ad Ac (one pair, aces).
SB has 3s Qd (two pair, queens and threes).
Outcome: SB wins $102.10.

Im currently playing Party's 25$. I am averaging around 300 hands per day. The day I make 1K$ per month (including rake and bonous) Ill be the happiest person on this planet. Thats not asking for much is it?

4 tables of PP $50 and 4 of PP $100

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

damn, $50 short. i suppose i could keep playing, but the tables are pretty tight right now and i need to get up in the morning.

still, $950 for the weekend isn't too bad.

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

my goal until I achieve it is $1000 per month.
I only play part time and not every night.
I also only currently play PP NL25 games.
I'm up to 250ish for the month so far (290 if you count the slow to clear paradise bonus i've been working on).

Re: Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post
 

my goal was to hit $1k this month. After today, I'll be happy to break even for the month [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
