September goals/results and new goals for October

[downtown]

Here were my September goals and my results... good idea! Hopefully by posting this I can add some accountability to my goal setting.

1) (100) $22s, (8) tabling on the 1st weekend of the month.
Played 143 from that Friday-Tuesday. Got used to 8-tabling.
Goal attained!

2) (400) $33s, (8) tabling rest of month / when done with 1st (100) $22s and adjusted to (8) tabling
Played 482.
Goal attained!

3) 15% ROI at $33s over those (400) 33s
Well, had 15+ over the first 260, then hit a -34 buyin downswing. Oops! 8% ROI.
Goal missed!

4) Spend less time looking at my stats and more time playing and reviewing with SNGPT
Goal attained!

5) Go to Bears game on Sept. 25th vs. Bengals and watch Bears win, making their record 3-0
Went to the game, but Orton threw 5 interceptions! WTF! Bears 1-2! Meh.
Goal missed!

6) Step up to 55s exclusively by Weekend of Sept 30
I think I need to work up my bankroll a bit first to recover from my mid-month downswing before taking a full time stab at the 55s. I may try a few sets of 55s this weekend though and I'll be there full time if my results from the last few weeks of the 33s stay healthy.
Goal missed!

7) Don't spend bankroll on something stupid
Goal attained!

Made a little under $1800 after rakeback, which ends up being about $26/hr or so. Not so great, considering I am 8-tabling, but it was my first month 8-tabling after all. And wow that downswing hurt the ole bottom line. I'm keeping my day job... for now.

my goal was 250 tourneys, 20% at 10s and build br enough to play 22s fulltime

i didn't do 20% at 10s, but i met the other 2 goals
11s:
168 played
13% roi
$242 profit


22s:
109 played
18% roi
$442 total profit

33s:
6 played
67% roi
$132 profit


overall:
283 played
18% roi
$816 profit

rakeback: $150 (played some cash games as well)

i'm pleased, being that this was my 3rd full month of seriously playing poker


OCTOBER GOALS:
>15% roi at the 22s with 200 tourneys played
$1000 profit

Well I fell short of my goal, but most of that is becaue I didn't get to start 8 tabling this month thansk to a nice 400 SnG Breakeven streak at the 33's. But I am happy to say I did end up having a decent month. Thanks to the last 8 day heater I am currently on, here are my stats:

580 SnG's
40 22's
500 33's
40 55's

Total Profit: $1,728
Profit w/RB : $2,175
Comes out to about $20/HR

Next month I jump up to the 55's, I want to do:
100 33's to pad bankroll a little more
900 55's (I hpe to be 6-8 tabling by the 20th)

Hopefully $5k in profit with Rakeback
My long term realistic goal is to do 3000 SnG's and $10,000 profit by Jan. 1.

my goals are get good grades and at least make some money through rakeback

My goals were a very utopian 1000 55s and 20% ROI. I managed 1033 of them for a 9,7% ROI, which doesn't seem so bad given that I broke even for 3 weeks in the middle, and I still finish up 6700 or so with rakeback.

Goals for next month will be to play 1000 55s and get 15% ROI, which seems more reasonable. I'll probably have enough trouble with playing 1000 due to exams and miscellaneous school work and whatever I have to cope with.

I accomplished none of my september goals but I did make a bunch of cash this month even though I didn't play very much. I wanted to play 1k 215s and I played around 300 which isn't very good. I did play more mtts though.

october I hope will be a little different, my goal is to play 500 before I leave for dublin and to play great poker in my first EPT event.

I don't remember my goals, but I'm sure I didn't achieve them. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I got my 2001FP this week so I can 8-table, and today I played 67 SNG's. Stats for today: 5 firsts, 9 seconds, 3 thirds, 50 OOTM, lol! I played probably 60% $33's and 40% $22's. I made over $500 yesterday and lost $450 today, so it's not that bad, BUT I have realized now that my bubble play is far from perfect. Almost every SNG I push when it's a little -EV, and fold when it's +EV to push. So it would make no sense to try and play as many SNG's as possible this month, if I don't play good, so it's better to focus on improving my game.

My goal for this month: Study old games I have played with SNGPT, find leaks, read this forum (look for old, good threads).
But somehow, I don't want to study and only want to play, because I'm extremely lazy, so the first goal is to change my ideas about studying, and start liking it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sept Stats:
937 SnGs, 18.78% ROI, 40.77 ITM, $3,868 profit + $468 RB
Finish Detail: 191/ 141/135/ 127/ 111/ 130/ 81/ 55/ 31/ 20
(Stats do include $100 won in a freeroll.)

Started off the month OK, started 6 tabling, did & played poorly, switched back to 4 tabling and went on a heater (33% ROI over 350 SnGs) until the end of the month. Of course I screwed up my stats by losing $234 on the last day of the month.

October Goals: 930 SnGs (30 a day) 4 tabling while slowly moving up to the 33s while keeping a 15% overall ROI. Be playing the 30s entirely, by the end of the month.

Profit a lot with a lot of rakeback. Not go crazy!
