"I am rolled for $100NL but I just don't have anything like the necessary confidence or the ability to bounce back from a minus 3 buyin session."

Maybe I do. I am down 8 buyins so far at $100NL, but I will continue to persist - the curse of being overrolled is that I won't have the excuse to move down until I've lost 22 more buyins...

Breaking even at $100NL 6max, then, is my September goal. I also need to find a new poker room now that Interpoker are fucking over their lower-stakes players (see http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=42112 for details).

Failed at every one of my August goals. I suck.

Goal for Sept...Not to suck. Seriously, my goal is not to have a 3 buyin win one night, only to have a 3 buyin loss the next. Break even poker sucks.

My BR has been stagnant all month. Fluctuates between $1700 and $1950. Can't break the 2K ceiling.
Operation Grind For Education:

Current BR: $10080(04/06/2009) BR Goal: $15000--I LOVE RB!!!
End date: 31aug2009
Current stakes: $100/200NL FR

August goals:
10K hands
I hope to maintain $1500 a month
Probably take a couple shots at 200nl FR and 200nl 5max. I am bankrolled for it, just haven't done it yet becuase I have been running well at 100nl

August Results: 10k hands $2200 poker profit $440 bonus money
Overall + $2600 -- 3rd month in a row I have beaten my previous high month.

Playing mainly 200nl SH lately
Results by category
$200 nl SH 3150 hands 6.73 ptbb/100
$200 nl FR 2600 hands 5.6 ptbb/100
$100 nl SH 1900 hands 1.2 ptbb/100
$100 nl FR 2500 hands 18 ptbb/100

sample size for each category is small, but overall running well

September Goals: Playing 200nl FR and SH 10k hands
$2500 would be nice

August goals

1) Win at least 100000kr = $13900 Won $21623+ $1400bonus = $23063

2) Play more than 50000 hands. Accomplished

3) Play at least 30000 hands of 400NL and hopefully make it my main game for the future. Only played about 24k hands 400NL, instead I excercized good table selection and then decided to build a Pokerstars bankroll for 400NL at their soft 200NL games



(no exchange rate in chart)

September goals:
Same as my August goals.

Well we have a $4k downswing in this graph which took me 15k hands to get even from. However, this was mainly due to taking a shot and running bad at 1000NL.

August results
Played on 19 separate days (lovely 10 days cruising in Caribbean with wifey)
5000 hands (4000 at NL100 and 200)
Bankroll increased by $1,350 ($950 + $400 in bonuses) to 4.6k
Ran at 10.5 BB/100 for all levels in August
How did I play? Rating 6 / 10 (a winning month puts the rating 5 or above).
Generally hit a lot of negative variance (which I was waiting and ready for). However, I honestly played poorly for most of the month and went through a stretch of making bad river calls during the downswing (I think because I was trying to end it – not advised!)

Other August stats
Agg Factor up from 3 to 3.5
C-bets dropped from 86% to 76% which has helped I think (winning at 75% when I do)
I raised more hands and called less hands this month to last

Goals achieved during August
Beating NL100 and 200 at over 5 BB/100 (running at 10 BB/100 overall for these levels all time)
Loosened up: from 18 / 6.5 since last report to 22.2 / 8.6 in August
Made money
Kept a better balance between real life and poker (most important!)

September goals
Become established at NL200
Join a couple of good new sites with rakeback (thinking Full Tilt and InterPoker)
Play 9000+ hands (including at least 3000 more on NL100)
Play on no more than 5 sites (hopefully less)
Less bonus hunting – at NL200 it should be about consistency of site play, knowing regulars / collecting data, and rakeback.
Try to further improve balance between real life and poker
Get at least one new poker book (Sklansky / Harrington as recommended)
Get to know a few more of you guys on FTR better

September stats goals
Get PFR% to half of VP$IP (increase one and lessen t’other). Focus on positions 4 - 6.
Lower my call % on river (13%) and monitor my fold % on river (19%). This has been the biggest leak I can find for this month – my W$SD% when just calling on river was 24%.
Examine my blind stealing – “Chance to Steal & Raised” in PT – and try to increase it from this month
Add more suited connector play to my weaponry and research and learn how to play them well (big loser for me currently)

Notes
Bonus hunting took me to too many new sites this month which cost me $$ while adjusting. I feel if I had put more hands in at enjoyable, regular sites that pay off my style, the bottom line would have been better

September dreams
Find a way to get rakeback at Paradise!
Get my first Royal
Have my most profitable month yet ($2000+)

[edit: updated to Aug 31 for record keeping]

Good luck everyone!

August goals
* As I said, I'll try to play 7k hands/week. Maybe invest in another monitor and play more. (4-tabling at the moment)
/// only played 18k hands, i moved and shit too, just settled in. got my second 20" today actually.

* Get used to 200NL and win as much money I can. I can use most of the money for my bankroll, so growing that will be the primary goal.
/// $5400 @7ptBB/100 mostly at 200NL is nice, took some shots at 400NL but i felt kinda scared. withdrew some cash for investing in a second monitor.


SEPTEMBER GOALS
iäve started studying again after a year's break (at uni) so i'll see how much time i get on my hands. i've got two monitors though so hopefully i can play a bit. i plan using my rakeback as support for my student life, we'll se if that's enough. br is the primary focus.

this is my favourite part of the post
it looks like angry boobs

My August goals were to barely play, and spend all month studying for the my prelim exams. I didn't play much at all and aced my exams even though about half of the people taking them failed. On one of the few days that I did play, I won two donkaments and made 2K. I finished the month up about 3K.

I can already tell that graduate school is going to be harder than shit compared to college, so I won't have much time to play. My goal is to play for about an hour or two a few times a week and really make that time count. I won't be playing enough hands to be able to set any realistic winrate goals.

August Results - Started a real proper poker bankroll and stopped tilting/playing underrolled/being a Joe Sunday Afternoon poker player. Started on 2NL and moved up to 10NL within a couple of weeks (Properly rolled for once)

September goals: To completely crush 10NL (I'm owning 10NL, but not crushing it at the mo), to stop stacking off with QQ preflop and TPTK/overpair postflop when I know I'm beat. To get good at 6max, as my FR game is much better.

August results: Lost 1.6K, mainly by losing 4K at 400NL (21K hands, -2.2bb/100 WTF).

September goal: Stop sucking and keep pwning 200NL. Improve blind defense (I'm clueless about that).

I try to get about 40K hands in and win 5K.

September Goals
1. put in 10k at 20NL 6max
2. get rolled for $50NL.
3. withdrawal nothing from my bankroll.

Get all this done by the 21st since I'm on vacation from 9/22 - 9/30 and won't have any internets on the house boat.

I did one of these in the beginners' section. If they are not the same it's just variance.

1) Clear Interpoker Bonus @ $1/2
2) Clear Will Hill at same
3) Clear Sun Poker at same (see a pattern?)
4) Clear 50-70% of Betfair's deposit bonus at same
5) Play 10K hands $25NL (FR or SH, dise or crypto)
6) Play 5K hands $10NL 6-max on stars
7) Read SSH properly
8) Spend more time analysing my sessions.
Blah blah Op Blah blah

My goal for August was 30k hands, but I was both lazy and busy and only got in about 7k hands but ran well and won about $2500.

My goal for this month is 50k hands and to move up to 2/4 when my BR reaches 12k. I'm a little less than 4k shy from it and I definitely expect it to be reached by the end of the month. I don't like to set money goals because that kind of thing is hard to control. I just want to keep playing my best and get hands in and hopefully run well and make a nice profit.
