September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goal for September was to play 500 SNGs with a ROI of 20%. Here are my results:

PokerStars
134 $15+1 Turbos with ROI 8.93%
4 $25+2 Turbos with ROI 4.17%

Party
16 $10+1 with ROI 7.95%
248 $20+2 with ROI 21.7%

Overall - 403 played with ROI 17.68%

I didn't quite reach my goal, but my game is coming along very nicely. I feel very comfortable at the $22s and I will spend at least one more month with those as my main game. My goal for October remains the same as it was for September. Since I wasn't able to completely reach 500 with 20% ROI, I hope to get closer in October.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

It would help if someone could dig up the september goals post, but I know that I did buy a 2001fp this month which was one of my stated goals.
Maybe my October goal should be to sustain the 87% ROI that I have achieved over the 32 30+3s I've played in the last 48 hours. Thats doable, right? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

October sng-goal :

4-tabling 500 sngs.
Starting at $20+2 with 800$ roll.
cashing out $5000 at end of month.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

PokerStars
53 $25+2 Turbos with ROI 31%
Profit +$443

Party
491 $20+2 with ROI 26.4%
Profit +$2854

Overall for the month +$3297.

I tried to play 600 SnGs in 12 days, but I went on an early heater and then a mild downswing for 100 games and burnt myself out. Yeah, for some wierd reason I want to quit playing poker right now.

So my October Goals are to clear the rest of my Pokerstars Bonuses by playing 200 $27 SnGs, make $1500 or so, and then cash out all my virtual dollars into my bank account.

This ain't possible. A reasonably ambitious goal for 500 $22s would be $2500 profit including rakeback. If you can do that, you're doing well.

True; however, unless he already has experience at higher levels, a $4200 profit would require an implausibly steep learning curve.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My October goal is to make at least $5000 including rakeback.

It will actually take less than 500 sngs if I achieve following ROIs without too much swings :

20% for 20+2 and 30+3
15% for 50+5
10% for 100+9

I wish you luck but unless you have experience at these higher levels I think it is very unlikely that you will succeed.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Here were my September goals and my results... good idea! Hopefully by posting this I can add some accountability to my goal setting.

1) (100) $22s, (8) tabling on the 1st weekend of the month.
Played 143 from that Friday-Tuesday. Got used to 8-tabling.
Goal attained!

2) (400) $33s, (8) tabling rest of month / when done with 1st (100) $22s and adjusted to (8) tabling
Played 482.
Goal attained!

3) 15% ROI at $33s over those (400) 33s
Well, had 15+ over the first 260, then hit a -34 buyin downswing. Oops! 8% ROI.
Goal missed!

4) Spend less time looking at my stats and more time playing and reviewing with SNGPT
Goal attained!

5) Go to Bears game on Sept. 25th vs. Bengals and watch Bears win, making their record 3-0
Went to the game, but Orton threw 5 interceptions! WTF! Bears 1-2! Meh.
Goal missed!

6) Step up to 55s exclusively by Weekend of Sept 30
I think I need to work up my bankroll a bit first to recover from my mid-month downswing before taking a full time stab at the 55s. I may try a few sets of 55s this weekend though and I'll be there full time if my results from the last few weeks of the 33s stay healthy.
Goal missed!

7) Don't spend bankroll on something stupid
Goal attained!

Made a little under $1800 after rakeback, which ends up being about $26/hr or so. Not so great, considering I am 8-tabling, but it was my first month 8-tabling after all. And wow that downswing hurt the ole bottom line. I'm keeping my day job... for now.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

my goal was 250 tourneys, 20% at 10s and build br enough to play 22s fulltime

i didn't do 20% at 10s, but i met the other 2 goals
11s:
168 played
13% roi
$242 profit


22s:
109 played
18% roi
$442 total profit

33s:
6 played
67% roi
$132 profit


overall:
283 played
18% roi
$816 profit

rakeback: $150 (played some cash games as well)

i'm pleased, being that this was my 3rd full month of seriously playing poker


OCTOBER GOALS:
>15% roi at the 22s with 200 tourneys played
$1000 profit

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Well I fell short of my goal, but most of that is becaue I didn't get to start 8 tabling this month thansk to a nice 400 SnG Breakeven streak at the 33's. But I am happy to say I did end up having a decent month. Thanks to the last 8 day heater I am currently on, here are my stats:

580 SnG's
40 22's
500 33's
40 55's

Total Profit: $1,728
Profit w/RB : $2,175
Comes out to about $20/HR

Next month I jump up to the 55's, I want to do:
100 33's to pad bankroll a little more
900 55's (I hpe to be 6-8 tabling by the 20th)

Hopefully $5k in profit with Rakeback
My long term realistic goal is to do 3000 SnG's and $10,000 profit by Jan. 1.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

my goals are get good grades and at least make some money through rakeback

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goals were a very utopian 1000 55s and 20% ROI. I managed 1033 of them for a 9,7% ROI, which doesn't seem so bad given that I broke even for 3 weeks in the middle, and I still finish up 6700 or so with rakeback.

Goals for next month will be to play 1000 55s and get 15% ROI, which seems more reasonable. I'll probably have enough trouble with playing 1000 due to exams and miscellaneous school work and whatever I have to cope with.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

I accomplished none of my september goals but I did make a bunch of cash this month even though I didn't play very much. I wanted to play 1k 215s and I played around 300 which isn't very good. I did play more mtts though.

october I hope will be a little different, my goal is to play 500 before I leave for dublin and to play great poker in my first EPT event.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

I don't remember my goals, but I'm sure I didn't achieve them. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I got my 2001FP this week so I can 8-table, and today I played 67 SNG's. Stats for today: 5 firsts, 9 seconds, 3 thirds, 50 OOTM, lol! I played probably 60% $33's and 40% $22's. I made over $500 yesterday and lost $450 today, so it's not that bad, BUT I have realized now that my bubble play is far from perfect. Almost every SNG I push when it's a little -EV, and fold when it's +EV to push. So it would make no sense to try and play as many SNG's as possible this month, if I don't play good, so it's better to focus on improving my game.

My goal for this month: Study old games I have played with SNGPT, find leaks, read this forum (look for old, good threads).
But somehow, I don't want to study and only want to play, because I'm extremely lazy, so the first goal is to change my ideas about studying, and start liking it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Sept Stats:
937 SnGs, 18.78% ROI, 40.77 ITM, $3,868 profit + $468 RB
Finish Detail: 191/ 141/135/ 127/ 111/ 130/ 81/ 55/ 31/ 20
(Stats do include $100 won in a freeroll.)

Started off the month OK, started 6 tabling, did & played poorly, switched back to 4 tabling and went on a heater (33% ROI over 350 SnGs) until the end of the month. Of course I screwed up my stats by losing $234 on the last day of the month. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

October Goals: 930 SnGs (30 a day) 4 tabling while slowly moving up to the 33s while keeping a 15% overall ROI. Be playing the 30s entirely, by the end of the month.

Profit a lot with a lot of rakeback. Not go crazy!

I havent read any of this thread yet...
My sept. schedule will go like this.

S,M,T,W,F
50 games a day
Thrusday- off

Saturday- parlay day
I have allotted myself $55 to play 1 $55
If at any time I fall below this 1 buy in BR I have to play 11s (during parlay time only) to make the $55 back.

I have it set to play 1k 11s for my regular month, and 4 saturdays to parlay. My parlay may not work out at all, but I have nothing to lose but the time I put into it and the intital $55 investment. Also if I put in overtime and reach 1k SnGs before the end of the month than the rest of my time can be used for parlay.

I want a 25% roi at the 11s for 1k games, and if I am lucky my $55 will expotentialy increase. October plans will be based on how well this system worked for me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I held to my schedule until the brutal last week where I dropped nearly 30 buys at the 33s. I ended the month negative after over 900 games. No more parlay for me, but that wasnt the problem. I sucked this month. Again.

11s-275-$495-16.36%roi/41.82%ITM (30/32/53)
22s-137-$246-8.16%roi/34.31%ITM (17/18/12)

I suck

October goals include 4tabling only, 11s-22s only, no parlay at all. and a + roi for the month.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goal is 500 games this month. If I play ok the money will take care of itself (eventually)

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goal was 300-400 sngs and to clear 1k in rakeback. I played a ton at the begining of the month but then School and partying got in my way plus I picked up hockey about 1/2 way through the month. I still managed 304 sngs @ 17.70 ROI. Also I played some 400NL and 10/20 limit loosing about $600 in the NL and making about $600 in the limit. Since NL cash was my original game I really want to put some time into getting good at it again and at higher levels because frankly I was super rusty and just sucked. Anwyas all this plus $994 in rakeback (so close but so far from 1k) was my lovely month of September. Next month since I'm probably going to be very busy so I'm just I'm aiming for 300 sngs...well see how she goes

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Had a 50 buy in downswing and then accidentally told Messe Jesse that it was 150. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Finally got even for the month yesterday. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] 400 SNGS played. (mostly 33s and 55s).
Goals for October: Don't whine unless the downswing is more than 50 buy ins, play at LEAST 500 SNGS, make Empire Leaderboard. ALSO make some freakin money. PEace.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

September goals:
- Learn how to actually win a STT instead of getting a bajillion second places.
Nope, but I purchased SnGPT which is a step towards this goal.

- Get my ROI at the 22s up to 15-20% while 4-tabling
Nope! Started off with a nasty downswing and had to step down to the 11s for the rest of the month to get some confidence back. Had 14% ROI at the 11s though, so that's almost what I hoped for [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

- Win at least $1000
Nope! Starting off with a $600 downswing kind of ruined this goal, but at least I ended the month in the green.


October goals:
- Keep working with SnGPT to fine tune my bubble pushes and try to make correct moves automatically.
- Go back to the 22s and stay there with a ROI around 10%
- Play at least 400 SnGs
- Play one 55 tournament to see how big a difference there is, and have some fun [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
- Get prepared for/start 8-tabling by the end of the month

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

nice results in your $22s on Party. keep it up.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

September goals:
1. enjoy my colts season tickets (purchased with SNG winnings, thanks again guys! )
<font color="green"> achieved! 3-0! D-FENCE! D- FENCE! </font>
2. Figure out what has been going on with my ITM play during August (37% ITM but only 10% ROI)
<font color="red"> failed! nearly identical stats. </font>
3. get a good deal on a 2001fp
<font color="green"> Achieved! I love this thing! Everyone should get one! </font>
4. add 5th table and beyond.
<font color="red"> Failed, but I just got the 2001fp a couple days ago so its on now! </font>

1. 250 $55s
2. 5k hands of 100 or 200 NL on Party.
3. "Quit" smoking
4. 1 MTT final table

[/ QUOTE ]

I ended up playing a lot less than usual this month, suffering from a bit of burnout and my weekends were quite busy. I should be back playing and posting a lot more this month. Overall, I did a poor job on my goals.

1. I played 94 SNGs the party 55s, PS 60s, and party 109s with an ROI of 8%

2. I played 2500 hands at the 100NL for 3.5 PTBB/100. I played 550 hands of 200NL for 4.4PTBB/100.

3. I suck at life.

4. I did manage this one - took 3rd in a 15k guaranteed on Empire to make this a decent month overall. I felt like I played my best poker ever from start to finish in a MTT that night, and it was easily the highlight of my poker month except for my 47 hour hu match with Lacky [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I also made the final table in the KOTZ limit tourney, and bubbled in this weeks NL rebuy tourney.

October goals? I suppose I'll keep them the same, and see if I can do a little better at reaching them this month.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

September Goals:

1. Finish the 1000 $100s and move up to the $200s.

Did ~900 of them and haven't moved up.

2. Make $20k while in school

Check. (but wasn't in school til mid September)

3. Don't burnout on STTs.

Check.
4. Win a MTT.

Got 2nd about 3 times, no 1sts (til I win the pokerroom GT tomorrow afternoon)

October Goals:
1. Get good grades
2. Make ~20k
3. Win a MTT damnit
4. Find a protege among my friends and make him good

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Played some 55+5s turbos on Stars and started in the 109s with a ROI of 21%. +5804$. Life is good.

In october I will be quite busy, so my ambitious goal is to play 100 109s and at least one set of 215s.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Break into the 109s

and have the wildest bday party ever.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

I was planning on going for like 1000..but I did 93 today [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

1500 I guess? And I'll just hope it comes with a positive ROI.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Just started playing SnGs.

October Goals:
- Play 1000 $20's on Party.
- Stop getting sucked out when I get ITM.

(gone over 30 STT's without a single 1st place [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

From September:
A: Study (not poker).
B: A lot of other things (not poker).
C: Improve my game, exchange HH's etc.
D: Play exactly 500 22's and 100 55's.

In October:
A) I need to study more. B) I need to do more stuff. C) I need to improve my game and exchange HH's with another 55'er. D) I'd like to to keep doing this well at the 55's but less than a 25% Roi will be fine also... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goal for October is to actually play 1000 SnGs. As for profit, I don't care too much, but I'll say $5000. I had a good start yesterday with 92 SnGs, especially considering I started the day with a nice little 25 buyin loss.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

My goal for september was play 500 11's and 22's and at the end move up to 33's with 20% roi

I ended up playing 208 11's and 22's [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]... but my roi was 26.57 [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

and i moved up to the 33's right at the end...

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

Septemeber unrealistic goals:
Play 1000 22s
What happened
Played 258 22s @ 19.8 % ROI

October goals
Play more than september ideally 500 22s looking to 12 table in november.

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October

Re: September goals/results and new goals for October
 

+3k about
22's-33's all 8 tabling
