Taking a queue from some other great players on this Forum, we need to be much more goal oriented as Poker Players. Many of us wonder aimlessly through the poker tables. That's kind of what I have been doing lately.
I'm going to start being more short term goal oriented from month to month. Trying to accomplish baby steps by putting one foot in front of the other each month in an effort to reach my ultimate goals as a poker player.
So, I'm starting an October Goals thread and I think we should continue this each month!
Please add your goals for October!
My goals for October are:
After my recent debacle at the 5/10 & 10/20 6max tables (dropping almost 150BB over the past two months), I need to get my bankroll a little healthier and bet back to my winning ways. So, my October goal is pretty simple. It's more of a damage control & recovery plan... 10k hands at +1.5BB/100h at 3/6 FR.
I also want to re-read SSHE to make sure I didn't pick up too many subconscious habits from 6max that will be leaks at FR games (I have enough leaks already, I don't need to be picking up more! lol...).
This will get my bankroll a bit healthier and restore my confidence a little bit before I go back to the 5/10 tables. |

got my BR back up to $650 - Finishing PokerRoom sign up Bonus - Go to SunPoker hopefully quad tabling 6max (if they have enough players) for new RB deal and Bonus' - if they don't have enough, go to Full Tilt where I get RB -
Goal this month is to play 15hrs/week (married and a day job makes it tough  and pull a win rate of 8PTBB + at 25NL 6max - hoping to get to 50NL by end of Oct, but not in a huge rush since 25NL is easy right now...
Move back to PartyPoker in November or December
all of which depends on the online poker ban, of course |

also, forgot a couple things im working on -
Get PAHUD
Post hands regarding "protecting a hand" vs. value betting (or letting a weaker hand call you) - been thinking about that with TPTK kinda hands against 1 or maybe 2 players...If i could just figure out how to use the damn PokerRoom statistics crap - I may have to move to party earlier JUST so i can download my HH's easier -
Think more about my game -
Play some MTT's - |

Important goals: stop spewing chips post-flop, become a better hand reader, re-read Sklansky & Miller's NLHE T&P
Less important goals: maintain or improve upon my winrate at 50NL, play a few MTTs, get halfway toward being rolled for 100NL again |

I want to stop loosing money on the cash tables and concentrate on my SNG & MTT skills where I am a winning player.
Also I hope that my divorce is coming through in the next two weeks so I can marry my girlfriend during our holiday in Vegas. |

When just starting out, you should really try to set attainable goals for yourself. |

| monetary goals are bad. Set goals that you have control over, ie. # of hands in a month |
