July Goals -- Post here

1) Go through all the trouble/marginal hands I've identified in PT and post notable hands for review.
2) Don't fire up tables when you are mad because your kid woke up 7 million times and didn't let you play when you had the free time
3) Be much more careful with those hands you get reraised/pushed on.
4) Set a timeframe for each session before I play and be sure to leave 15 mintues at the end for hand review/posting.
5) Post atleast 15 hands for review this month.
6) Build my bankroll to $600

1. Finish my thesis and graduate from college.
2. Stop procrastinating on #1 by reading FTR
...
Profit!!!

1. Prioritise my relationship

30k hands at 200nl at a winrate of 5 PTBB / 100
100 50+5 SNG"s on party poker 20% ROI

Ring Profit: 6k
SNG Profit: 1.1k
Rakeback: Roughly 1k

Profit of 8.1k give or take

I will settle for 5k+ IE Bankroll of 10k or more

1)
break the 1K bankroll mark, playing SnGs and MTTs, and start playing more ring..

2) record jazz trio demo CD, and work on promotional materials associated with that project

3) recruit more trombone students for private lessons....

1)Play 10k hands of 100NL and try to get atleast 4bb/100.
2)Play more MTT's.
3)Try to loosen up my game more,preflopraise% needs to be higher and also my vol. put $ in pot.
4)Try to reach 5k.

* Play 10k hands/week at least of 4-tabling 5max
* See how 5-max treats me
* Maybe take some shots att 200NL if my BR hits $5k

Play 8k hands per week, 32k hands for the month of 4 tabling 5max, profit at least $2k. Maybe move to 200nl.

hehehe such a random goal to have on a poker forum! I love it!

Mine is to make 6k$ and get back playing 400NL again for a start. I'm not really sure what I'm capable of so i'm finding it hard to set a goal.

Play 120k hands this month, and have a poker graph that is going in a steady uphill motion.

Wow. Stakes? SH or FR? How many tables?

1) 7.5K hands at $25NL 5-max
2) Get bankroll to $1K.
3) Play aware & intelligently.
4) Keep a journal with basic notes

make ten thousand dollars in 50k hands of 1/2

Forreal guys. Don't make monetary goals. Do something that you can control ie. # of hands.

make 30k in how ever many hands it takes or die tryin

1. I'm looking for a new apartment by August 1st. So my goal is finding an apartment with a few friends that's big, nice, close to subways, close to good venues/restaurants/bars, in one of my preferred neighborhoods (Williamsburg, East Village, Lower East Side, Park Slope, or Propspect Heights), where my share of the rent is less than $750 (Possible? Yes. Possible in 1 month? With enough vigilence and appointments, I think so). This directly affects my bankroll, because if I'm paying say $1000 vs $700, I'll have to make a large cashout to pay for first & last month + security deposit + broker's fee. Plus, I make regular cashouts to help pay for rent. So extra rent = bigger cashouts = smaller bankroll.

2. Stop spending so much goddamn money on overpriced drinks in bars and instead spend this money to increase my bankroll. Maybe I should invest in a flask and just bring that with me when I go out instead of dropping $60/weekend in bars. Or maybe I should just cut down on drinking so much--my liver will thank me 20 years from now.

3. Stop eating out so much. I could save $150 a month that could go right into my bankroll just by doing a little grocery shopping and making my own food more often.

- Increase #tables from 4 to 6-8.
- Play 80-120 hrs, that should be ~50K hands (Party 200 & 400NL).
- Learn to use PAHUD.
- Search for leaks and fix them.
- Win some money and have fun.

1) Grind up a roll by playing tight and smart, not passive.
2) Either buy or bonus, PT or PO and a hud.
3) Finish my bathroom / shower. (I'm tired of going to the one upstairs when playing)

I had made a goal a month or so ago to win a MTT. I had played in over 200 MTT's, including the 45 person SNG's but had a 2nd place as my best finish. I was getting to the point that I thought luck played more of a part than it really does. After seeing the successes of my peers and believing that I could actually do it, I planted it in my head that I would win one.
