Default My good intentions for this summer

One week of exams left and then... summer.
So I thought I might as well start with listing all my good intentions.

- Get rid of my € Neteller account and create a $US account
- Get rakeback
- Buy PT
- Bonuswhore more
- Buy a new batch of poker books
- Read them
- Keep logs
- Only play fullring (I leak shorthanded)
- Pay attention to the game
- Think about every action and watch every hand
- Play at one table
- Play within my bankroll
- Put in a lot of hours
- Discuss more hands
- Analyse my hand histories

That's all for now. I'll be adding to this list when more good intentions come to mind. Just thought I'd make this official, so I can't back out because I'm too lazy.

You have any good intentions for the summer?

Yeah, my good intentions are more along the lines of

1: Play less poker, have more fun.
2: Play less poker, read more (as in good fiction, not as in rereading TOP and supersystem).
3: Try to complete the $25 - $1000 challenge.
4: Concentrate fully when I do play.

My gut tells me that poker is more profitable during the autumn and winter. And sitting inside in front of a computer all day is more appealling during the winter as well.

Anyway. These are my good intentions, I'm not saying it's going to happen [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And good luck with yours.

1. Compile a list of poker quotes so I can stay inspired when fishies are bad beating me.
2. Burn Rounders onto DVD (the hire fees are killing me)
3. Get a new credit card before I max out the old one
4. Buy Miller's book so I can bust more short stacks
5. Not lose my bankroll while bonus whoring
6. Improve the quality of my posts on 2+2

- Play at one table


[/ QUOTE ]

i don't think you should play one table at a time. the reasoning that you have is to keep notes on players so you can take advantage of those awesome fish.

i noticed, however, u don't have PT. PT does this for you. just look for 40% vp$ip or &gt;, and BAM there's your fish. The downside of playing one table is that it makes you bored. playing 3 (UB) or 4 (PP) keeps you occupied, letting you fold AJ no problem preflop from EP and letting you raise correctly preflop with TT.

see what i mean?

- Go through homers steps of building a bank roll
- Call less, fold more.
- Read some new books.

I agree with meleader also about the one table thing, especially if you get Poker Tracker. I think two tables is a good number, allows you to stay concentrated on each and also fold more hands. When it gets up to 3 or 4 I just get way too confused but thats just me.
