November Goals

[Vote4Pedro]

Get over your "accurate" rankings...you've never seen them play...I doubt you've seen half the teams you listed(as being better) actually play. They played a solid game against the "#13" team in the nation(in which they could/should have won) and theyre much improved since last year([link] Fresno St vs UVA in last years MPC Bowl[/link]. Dont hate just cause they play in a joke conference...It'd be like someone assuming that EVERYONE in the Micro-forum was a bad player because they played ridiculously low stakes.

[Pedigree]

1. Go to the gym at least 6 times a week.
2. Play 4,000 hands of 1/2 (I don't Multi Table).
3. Don't go on tilt.
4. Think about poker more away from work.
5. Buy and read Theory of Poker.
6. Make money on my solo trip to A.C. later this month.

1) Play 20,000 hands of 6max and 5max.

2) Move up in limits if and only if these 20k hands make me 2+BB/100 outside of bonii and rakeback.

3) Qualify for one of the big guarantee tournaments each weekend with 3 or fewer satellite buyins.

4) Finish well into the money in one of the aforementioned tourneys.

5) Stop playing when I get tired/distracted/pissed off and do something fun instead.

6) Get my bankroll into 5 digits

1. Read my favorite posts links in full. Especially the SH ones.
2. Play 20 hours/week not including deer hunting week. I don't care about the hands as much this month as I do about playing 1 or 2 tables for 20 hours.
3. Seperate playing and posting here. Do one or the other.
4. Post 150 posts. Majority hand responses.
5. Finish Weighing the Odds.
6. Re-read selected WTO parts and SSH parts.

Non Poker
1. Practice the banjo 4 hours/week
2. Go to the gym 3X per week
