Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Move down to 10/20 for at least 20k hands.
2) Tigten up, esp out of position
3) Make sure I dont tilt whatsoever
4) Play 25k hands
5) Close AIM/2+2 while playing, I succeeded wiht closing 2p2 in october but not aim.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Find Soldier and sit at as many of his tables as possible, as he will undoubtedly not reach goal #3.

2) Play $15k worth of combined MGR at 2 sites.

3) Close 2+2 while playing.

4) Make $25,000 total. Yes, I'm results oriented. Screw you.

and to win money, or something

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

50k hands at 5/10.
Take a shot at 10/20 by the end of the month.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Start winning money again
1.1) Preferable net more than $2K this month
2) Play enough hands to make 1.1 happen

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1. 20K hands
2. fix my damn blind play
3. make money
4. do good in school

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) 28K hands
2) Move back up to 5/10 and stay there
3) NO TILT
4) When running bad, stop trying to win every hand.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Play with confidence
2) Quit moving down, chickenshit!

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

Gonna get a bit ambitious for November, hopefully I dont suffer from burnout from my late October push.

1. 60K hands

2. Tighten up a LITTLE bit in EP.

3. Take some shots at 50/100

4. Make 40K after rakeback

5. Spend less money at the bar

6. Go to the gym 3x a week, or 15 times total. Either would make me happy.

I think 5 and 6 will be the toughest [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1. 15k hands at 5/10
2. Always practice good game selection.
3. If I can't find a good table, have the will power not to sit.
4. Play two tables max and take player notes.

Wierd, I have the exact same goals, well except for no 1...

It's interesting what you say in vi - I also call down more often in bad spots when tired.

What makes you think you need to get to showdown more?

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1. Stay focused - for me this means two or three tables max, $15-$30 to $30-$60.
2. Build on my success in October, September, and August -- I made several small, fundamental changes to my game in August and have had great success since; perhaps my best three month run ever.
3. Delve deeper into PT, at which I am very much a newbie.
4. Get to sleep before 2 am (damn this "having a life" stuff).
5. Lather, rinse, repeat.

care to share?

I ask because I did the same thing, my changes were:
- steal less
- defend less
- call down less with big unimproved aces

I made these adjustments after my first 30-40k hands of SH and I couldn't be happier. just curious what type of adjustments you made.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Quit being a moron and start playing some [censored] hands.
2) Same as #1.
3) Continue practicing my new belief that downswings don't exist.
4) Put in five eight hour days over the course of the month. I need to learn to put in the occasional really long day.
5) Have my best monetary month ever.

I have a hard time believing that those can be good adjustments.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) "Play good poker."

That is all.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1) Play 20k Hands
2) Don't fail my exams while looking at 2+2 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
3) Work on a few areas of my game, like blind defence and turn laydowns.

why? is it really that hard to steal/defend too much? it really is possible you know

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1.) Study/Read more and to commit a few things to memory.
2.) Review more of my hand histories in PT using the filter to find leaks.
2.5) After reviewing hands post them here so I can be made fun of for sucking.
3.) Bonus whore and win a total of at least $1,250
4.) Play 25k hands or more.
5.) Reduce my going to showdown stupidly% which will be a result of 2 and 2.5 hopefully.

I'll stop there but I have a few other minor things like reorganizing my office to be more of a relaxing (currently in the garage) place than a dark dungeon where evil lives.

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

November Goals:

1. 45k hands, with daily hand counts + rewards for meeting them (small tourneys, etc).
2. Post more hands. I've gotten bad at this, I'll devote lots of time to replying to others' posts but don't take the time to make many of my own.
3. Continue with an aggressive moving-up strategy.
4. 30/60 by the end of the month(corollary to 3)
6. Enjoy poker and life.

Oh yeah: 5. Profit (thanks NLsoldier). Alot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Novermber Goals Post

start harassing party to be part of the VIP program

find another two sites and get rakeback at both of them

move up to 5/10 6 full time by thanksgiving

only play short handed games, no full

get in one MTT a week

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

1: Play 15K 2-3 tables 3/6 SH

2: Get closer on my yearly goal of 10K BR (7K now)

3: Figure out which hands is worth posting and not and stop beeing the lurker I am.

4: Start to love the swings in SH games and understand that the good player eventually will have a larger edge in SH games.

5: Study hard and figure out which hands/plays makes me a winner and which ones is standard or losing plays.

6: Find someone on 2+2 that'll tell me where to get them recording programs so I can make a video of me playing and get flamed [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Novermber Goals Post
 

-10K hands
-review my play objectively
-no tilt, and this probably means some shorter sessions as I can't stop tilting altogether. conversely, play longer sessions when I'm more of a favorite
