    3) Play tighter and more aggressive.
    4) Play at least 1k hands at NL (@$50NL) on Crypto.
    Stopped 1, because 4 went so darn well
    Definitely managed 3.
    2 is so-so.

    Goals for November:
    1) Play some $100NL, perhaps 3-5k hands depending on how it goes.
    2) Do all the usual bonuses (including $300 from Sun)
    3) Try to get the hang of short-handed limit.
    4) Try out $3/6 LHE.
    5) Improve play from BB in all forms of poker.
    6) Get that $100 back off Biondino
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    Faith in Jesus Christ is +EV. That is all.

    By the look of it you'll be playing stakes above me (you know I like to spend a good 80k hands at a level before I move up ) so I'm not sure when you'll have a chance. Oh, unless you catch me experimenting when drunk, then I'll just write you a cheque, save us both the time

    But - to answer this thread:

    1. Make sure that any time I call/raise a re-raise without a monster I have a damn good read
    2. Continue to play £50NL and not pussy out and return to £25
    3. PLAY FOR FUN

    Uh, that's it I think.

    My goal is to make a smooth transition from tournament poker to cash game poker. Then I need to start making money.

    September goal: make money at poker (failed)

    October goal: make money at poker (failed)

    November goal: don't go broke, you still have over 40 buyins for 1/2nl, and that's something.
  11. #11
    i'm a beginner so my goal is not to get broke on my Prima account...

    btw: I have never deposited money, only won on freerolls etc.

    Recurring goal from ever since I started playing this summer: Make money.
    It's time to make some real goals:

    November goals:

    1) Build my microroll at PS from 500 to 1k$ by mega-tabling sng's (10$) and getting better at cash games (25NL) + clearing bonus

    2) Stop stagnating and start making some money at 33-55$ sngs at Full Tilt. Get my roll from 3.2 to 4k.
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    Well here goes

    1. Get a total of 30k hands logged on PT, with the hands already in there (Thats about 21k to go).
    2. Get my bb/100 up to or above 5bb/100.
    3. Take shots at 50NL in weekends.
  17. #17

    My stats for NL100 are in the toilet since loosening up over last 2 months to 22/8 - so...

    November goals
    * Tighten it up - vp$ip back to less than 20%. Hoping to see an increase in bb/100 as a result (5+ desirable for the month)
    * PFR >= 8%
    * 4000 hands @ NL100

    If I acheive all of the above - will push back to NL 200 again in December (roll currently at 6.4k)

    Supplemental goals...
    * read one more poker book (3 unread)
    * play less from ep and more from lp than currently
    * play more late at night which is showing as my best time to play for max bb/100 and I have less distractions

    Last month's goals:

    1. Play 15k hands
    2. Make $1k

    Played 13.8k hands and made $1.4k so I'm pretty happy.

    November goals:

    1. Play 15k hands
    2. Make $1.5k
    3. Cashout $1-1.5k to upgrade my computer

    I'm already $630 up for the month (2.5k hands) and I still have to clear the reload bonus on Stars which will give me $200 so I think I might even break 2k if I don't hit a downswing.
  24. #24
    1) Play 20k hands of $25NL at 6BB/100. Mostly by folding. with Bonuses and rakeback, I should reach 1K
    2) Read NLHE T&P, which I have and have been taunted by.
    3) Clear both crypto sites, sign up and monthlies, to be able to start them new for Dec.

    Since I experimented a lot with LAG style, i.e. lost a lot and my wife virtually forced me to withdraw the rest, I started from scratch with no deposit promotional offers and built from there.

    goal #1: Build BR (current ~200$) to at least 400$ so I can play nl25
    properly and not switch between NL10, NL25 (1/2 buy-in)

    goal #2: Play M-O-R-E hands
  34. #34
    for me

    MTTs = fun (sometimes)

    SNGs = work (always)

    my roll is still in fine shape except that I don't play the Sunday 200s any more, I can handle it.
