Who met their August Goals? And what are your new ones for Septmeber?

[ggbman]

I saw the old thread got bumped, and it's getting kinda big so i thought i'd just make a new one. So, restate your August goals and whether or not you met them, and then your goals for September. (We still have a few days left for August, so your time isn't up yet.) I'm busy packing for college, so i thought i'd start this thread now while i had time.

My August Goals were:


1.) Log at least 30,000 hands at 10-20 6 max

2.) Make at least 10k after rakeback

3.) Have fun outside of poker!

I've logged about 29,000 hands for the month, so i'll probably hit 30k. So goal 1 is in the bag.

I actually moved to 20-40 this month, so i easily exceeded my financial goals for the month.

I had a great last month here hanging out with friends, so i would so goal 3 was met as well.


Here are my goals for September in order of importance:

1.) Meet a ton of cool new people at college and make it a great experience

2.) Keep in touch with the people who are important to me, and maybe make some trips to turning stone with my buddy Mike.

3.) Try to balance poker well with school, adapt to playing a little less, but still try to clear 10k or more per month.

So how about you guys?

I wanted to be playing 15/30 full time by the end of August, and I got up to 20/40. Success.

For September my goals are to keep running hot, and get in 75 hours of playing time.

no august goals but time to make some for sept.

1) log 30k 3/6 hands (shoot for $3.5K)
2) work on hand reading, 3 tables at most
3) pay off school/bills/etc
4) take shots at 5/10
5) read archives (5 hours a week)

I met my August goals for the most part -- posted about that in the other thread. Basically, this month I moved up to 2/6 6max, played 25K hands 4 tabling, and won $2500 + rakeback and bonuses.

Sept looks like this:
* 16K online hands. (Less than last month since I'll be away in Vegas for a week.)

* Keep studying shorthanded play and keep working on my game. I think I have some of the right ideas, but there are several hands a night where I feel like I completely f'ed up. Post a smattering of those hands.

* Go to Vegas at the end of the month, have fun. Play as high as 10/20, if the games look good. Play some small-ish buy in tournaments for fun.

* Run good while in Vegas. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

* Move up to 5/10 6max?


On that note, I'm debating what to do about moving up to 5/10. I'm way overrolled for 3/6 -- something like 1500BBs. And I've been a winner thus far at 3/6, over my small sample size of 25K.

I feel comfortable for the most part, but like I mentioned above, I feel like I play several hands quite badly each night. I'm trying to decide if I should move up anyway, or if I should patch all these potential leaks now.

Anyhow, I'll probably move up sometime this month, but I'm not sure when.

Good luck to all on their goals!

Currently at 3/6 6max
1. Still 5K hands to go for August to meet my 25K goal(day job)
2. Post 30K for September w/ more than 2BB/100(sort of tough because I'm moving)
3. Control spewing and follow my instincts
4. Increase my blind steal to atleast 30% (currently at 27%)
5. Get ready to move to 5/10 (50K 3/6 and 1000BB for 5/10 is the goal) by the end of the month
6. Read TOP/SSH again, improve my poker math(correct phrase?), post more hands and involve in the strategy discussion on the forum
7. Avoid the temptation to add a 3rd table no matter how good the table is - I just suck playing more than 2 tables of 6max

ggbman and others who have posted in this thread, remember to bump this thread at the end of the month to see where we stand.

GL all.

I like your style. I'm going to try and take on your billion hands/month methods after October.


For August, I met my goals, and hopefully September's will be easy.

1. Play 22.5k hands at 5/10, possibly 3/6 if I stop running so good.

2. >2bb/100 for those 20k hands at 5/10.

3. $5,000

4. Religiously study postings in HUSH on my freetime.



The amount of hands is going to be greatly dependent on the amount of golf I play. I could play 10k hands or I could play 35k hands.

If I posted any August goals I didnt meet them. Thats for sure. It was a bad month and I spent a good few days burnt out from the trough that is variance.

For September I want to finish my OIC that I started a few days ago. I'm at 1/2 right now getting ready to start. After $300 won I'm moving to 3/6. I havent decided if I want to go stop at 5/10 for the OIC or continue to 15/30.

I have never played above 3/6 and I just dont know how different the play is. I guess I will see once I get there. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
