Goal setting - somewhat of a brag post

[swolfe]

so, i decided yesterday that i was going to make $1,000 this weekend. the weekend so far:

9.27 hours, 3,746 hands
$872.43
$94.15/hr
14.13 PTBB/100

almost there...and this will put me 1/3rd of the way through my $3K goal for march.

I dont play enough hands. I'm going to try to play 2k hands/day.

If I can meet that goal I dont care about the $ that comes with it, Ill be happy.

$5k / month.

I've come close a few times but haven't actually met my goal yet. I always somehow end up taking like half of each month off as well. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Just out of interest, what stakes are you guys playing at with these goals?

Ancient,

How can you be making that much money per month and be on a downswing at the same time ?

[AncientPC]

I don't make anywhere near that much if I'm on a downswing, but I didn't say I was on a downswing did I?

I had a marginally winning month for February, but tack on bonuses and rakeback still gives me a decent ending amount.

I also play a crapload of hands. I usually put in anywhere from 80 - 120 table hours per month but I'm trying to get more in. Problem is I always get burnt out halfway through the month and take a week off.

$3k/wk for '05 and im woefully short. if i can adjust to these bigger party games tho....

I'm trying to set a 2k this month playing part time only at the $50 NL games.

Right now,

35 table hours, 2623 hands

-$253.74
-$7.22/table hour
-$9.67/100

Whoopdee doo!!! I'm off to a fantastic start in the deep stack Party games and I can attribute to awesome awesome players like the following:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Hero ($50.55)
MP ($64.4)
Button ($89.9)
SB ($51.75)
BB ($38.1)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
Hero calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $14.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $50.05 (All-In), Button folds, SB calls $35.55.

Flop: ($102.10) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: ($102.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($102.10) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $102.10

Hero has Ad Ac (one pair, aces).
SB has 3s Qd (two pair, queens and threes).
Outcome: SB wins $102.10.

Im currently playing Party's 25$. I am averaging around 300 hands per day. The day I make 1K$ per month (including rake and bonous) Ill be the happiest person on this planet. Thats not asking for much is it?
