December Goals
 

well, MHSH has one, and SSSH has one, but Micro forum is so wicked it deserves its own. What you want for December micro-bitches?

Re: December Goals
 

To be successful at my move up to $2/$4. It would be a nice end to this year I've spent learning.

Re: December Goals
 

Well, after a brutal showing last month, falling well short of my $5k goal after starting the month on a $3k downswing, I am going to have pretty much the same goals.

1. take home $5k from poker
2. play at least 25k hands, and don't pussy out if I hit a downswing this time.
3. Try a little more 10/20 and get into some more SH on party
4. Play a couple serious 2+2 tables.
5. Destroy b-set and cold_cash in KOTKP3
6. Continue to focus, and study like mad
7. Continue to work on getting specific reads
8. Eat a lot of Christmas chicken/stuffing
9. Finish my brutal internship
10. Hit up a casino and play some 10/20
11. Get Christmas shopping done before December 24th.

Re: December Goals
 

1) Continue to play...although I plan on devoting most of my time to NL50(6m) and NL25(6m), with the occassional 2/4 sesh mixed in...I've also been thinking about giving 3/6(6m)a mini-shot

2) Start an ongoing 15BB or 25BB challenge and "Go Big" like Iggy

3) Finish the quarter strong...finals coming up in a week or two

4) Read Hard Green-Saving the Environment from the Environmentalists by Peter Huber

Re: December Goals
 

If you are playing well enough at 5-10 to consider 10-20, maybe you should skip getting any new job. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: December Goals
 

I've been pounding .50 - 1.00 for well over 3BBs per 100 and beating $1-$2 for 1.5BBs per 100 despite what feels like a bad run of cards at $1-$2.

So my goal for December is to move up and find out where I really belong and how good I really am!

I'm going to predict there are wife issues here. Also, you never know when you'll run into me at the tables and I would destroy his roll.

Re: December Goals
 

Well I've been bumbling around for a year or so now, playing poker, but with my eye more on the bonuses than actual poker winnings. As a result my play has been all over the place, and is probably only just better than break-even (I've played .25/.50 up to 2/4 and NL25 - NL100 chasing bonuses)

So for me in December I'm going to learn to play, I'm going back to .25/.50 forgeting about bonus and playing to win, SSH is going to get a re-read, and I'm going to start methodically moving up the limits as soon as I have hit 300BB PLAYING profit at the limit before.

I'm also going to be much more active in the Micros forum, both posting and replying to hand posts

I have about 400BBs of 10/20, I would consider taking shots at fullring, and maybe some 6max tables, but the 10/20 6max tables have insane variance

[/ QUOTE ]

no wife issues, but there are health insurance issues, I would likely work about 20hrs/week(3days) and play poker for the rest of my income, also having some no variance money is nice

as for you destroying my roll [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: December Goals
 

goal number one - stop sucking
goal number two - win KOTKP3
goal number three - remember to play KOTKP3
goal number four - come up with a new forum name

ps. Jaxup is a fish. He can't fold. Evar.

pps. that one about running 6+bb/100 for 60k hands made me laugh so hard my nose started to bleed.

TOP is not "defective." You simply started with the wrong book for microlimit play.

looks like you limp too much, need to raise some more, likely isolation raises instead of limp behinds

you look to be overdefending your SB, but that could easily be a sample size prob .. and are possibly calling down too much postflop
