Official December goals post
 

Whats wrong with you slacks? The first month i have goal to post and no one starts a thread? I actually have 2 goals.

1. 40k hands between now and the end of the year.

2. Cut down on getting angry at losing. I've tried before but usually i just try to stop yelling/cursing, i don't actually try to NOT get angry. Part of this might require not getting excited when i win aswell. Its time to grow up, so here goes.

Re: Official December goals post
 

20K hands
keep running good

oh yeah, stop [censored] tilting. two 180+ dowswings in 3 days have raped me tilt wise. need to work on that

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. Stay tilt-free.
2. Play B+ game or better.
3. Play a majority of hands at 20/40, start taking shots at 30/60 when it looks good.

get a full set of daedric armor, capture the soul of a golden saint and beat dagoth ur in the red mountain

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. finish up the semester with my sanity intact while keeping my GPA at least at its current level or higher.

2. dont play very much poker the first 2 weeks but play a shitton in the last 2 weeks.

3. play at least double my pathetic 10k hands from november (seriously, where the hell did this monthg go?), and keep up my nice winrate.

4. dont play high limits live drunk. be in the green for live poker for the month, even if its only a few sessions.

5. continue to post less, this one i did ok in nov.

6. get my graph back to its peak.

thats all for now. someone is gonna be pissed that you started this thread, i forgot who called it for december.

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. 8k hands. Normally I shoot for 10k, but with vacationing and whatnot I'll lose at least a week.

2. Play no more than 3 tables at a time and focus on reads.

3. Find leaks, plug leaks.

Re: Official December goals post

It's all about the cash money.

LOL, my guess would be $50/100 on a $2k bankroll [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Official December goals post
 

Whatever limit I can. My roll is at 11k now so I'm comfortably playing 10/20. I expect I'll move up to 15/30 regularly within a day or two.

Re: Official December goals post
 

no actually. my roll is up to 4k now so i have enough for 100/200.

wow trying to win 30k with an 11k roll is pretty ambitious.

[/ QUOTE ]Meh, I ran this up from 2k in 2 weeks WITHOUT playing underrolled for once. I figure, if I run well and play a lot, I'll be in the 15/30 in 2-3 days, then hopefully bigger than that in the next week or two. Once I get there, 30k should be no problem.

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. 15k hands at 10/20 6m, 15/30 6m (maybe 20/40)
2. learn some full ring again so I can move up in the future
3. Think about getting a coach.
4. 95% A-Game.

If your playing on party, I would advise combining goals 1 & 2 and playing the 15/30 full ring.

Re: Official December goals post
 

1) 25K hands
2) don't be emotional about day to day results
3) make 15K this month
4) take a trip to vegas

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. Gear up for a big 2006
2. spend some time coaching cause it is likely to help my game as much as anyone else's
3. improve at NL, but only play/work at it when limit games aren't running.
4. decide if i want to play for a living.

I am playing on Party. The 15/30 ring games looked pretty good today.
I guess I ll just play my 6max game, play very tight in the first 4 spots and give more respect to raises from the first 4 spots. Any pointers when making the transition back to full ring at the mid-limits?

Re: Official December goals post
 

My December goals:

-Play 30k hands shorthanded(5 or 6 max) 10/20
-Improve my hand reading skills, a lot.
-Run better than 1BB/100

Re: Official December goals post
 

Move to 10/20 and run as hot as in my last 10k hands of 5/10.

Re: Official December goals post
 

20k hands at 30/60

that's it i think.

Re: Official December goals post
 

60K.
Dave

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. 40k hands at 5/10 and 10/20 6max
2. Make $10k or more
3. Biggest downswing <= 100BB

Re: Official December goals post
 

30k hands.
Play well.
(Hopefully) end my [censored] downswing.

Rob

Re: Official December goals post
 

Not lose money the way I did in November. Ugh.

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. 20k hands.
2. Enjoy wedding.

Re: Official December goals post
 

Do well on my finals, that way i can party all break without a worry.
Play 10k hands.

Re: Official December goals post
 

1. Play more poker than XBOX 360 (50k hands or so I guess would be good)

2. Run better (400BB downswing in November)

3. Get my xmas shopping done early

4. Play a few tournaments and improve i my live play to start prepping for the PPM (won entry in nov, so it wasnt ALL running bad)

Disclaimer: I failed my november goals pretty miserably.

im surprised youd go back for your MBA (assuming youre finishing up your undergrad degree). not only is it rare but ive talked to some people who did that and each of them said they wished they had gotten more business experience first. i wouldve loved to do this, which is why im asking

that said, its pretty refreshing that someone isnt choosing between poker and a job for a change. and i know that makes me a hypocrite

if you admit you have a tilt problem, why are you setting such an anbitious goal. wont it just make you even more pissed if you dont reach it? wont it cause you to play when you arent capable of playing well to reach the goal?

monetary goals are dumb. they only lead to frustration

Re: Official December goals post
 

stay on my A game and maybe re-transition back to 8 tables. 4 weeks of no online poker makes it hard to 8-table
