Goal: 20 buyins @ 25 NL this weekend

[LeFou]

I want 500 brand new shiny dollars in my BR by monday

How would you go about planning that? So far I've just been nuthunting 4 tables with my coffee.

[bode]

run really goot, obv.

[Anosmic]

PLay 20k hands at 5ptbb/100

or 40k at 2.5ptbb/100

or ...

[LeFou]

I was thinking 3K hands at 7 BB/100, but based on my progress so far (-50bb over 200 hands), I'll probably rethink.

edit: fwiw, I think i'm playing fine; dropped 20BB on my KK vs . AA, 20 more on my flopped flush AI on turn versus 2pair opp gets boat on river.

at 25nl I think a decent game will earn 10ptbb/100 which is $50 per 1000 hands, so $500 is 10k hands. Thats definitely doable, but itll be a bitch if you are just 4tabling.

Play 6 max, play with me. What site?

[LeFou]

stars. i'm not real confident in my SH. why with you?

What would that be? About 29 hours short-handed?

Full-ring? 35?

[LeFou]

I've gone to 6-tabling. This provides (at 80 hands/table/hr) 480 hands/hr, and if I can get my winrate where it should b e, that'll d o

Anything to back that up long-term?

Im not spending long enough at 25nl to find out, but from experience Im very very confident that it is sustainable, albeit with more than just a decent game, at 100nl maybe even 200nl.

[LeFou]

Okay, this is clearly not going to happen
1200 hands in: -$49 total
Also KK and AA are both among my 5 biggest money losers

like you f uckin' read about...

[lolzzz_321]

$250 freezeout yo?

[lolzzz_321]

$299 fo yo

Not trying to bash your idea here Lefou, but I just wonder how many of these weekend type goals are ever accomplished. Poker is in no way a short term game and you shouldn't put pressure on yourself to win over such a small sample. I think the better idea for you may have been 10K hands this weekend (with a specific ptbb/100 in the back of your mind)

[donkbee]

trip, you have the worst avatar on ftr.

[lolzzz_321]

Elaborate, plz

I take your point, and have dropped this goal because I am not able to play all weekend like I thought I could.

Results so far(lol): 2K hands in, -$117. I'm still convinced I'm just being cold-decked. My three biggest money losers, in order
1. AA (8 times, -$39)
2. ATs (9 times, -$34) -- will look into this...
3. KK (11 times, -$33)

However, in defense of "dollar amount goal" it's a good motivator to get a lot of hands in, take each session seriously, not play when distracted, etc.

You just have to base the dollar amount on a realistic winrate and number of hands, instead of on a car payment.

I think you could do this. I made approx. $500 over 3 hours 6 tabling 25NL one time. Running really g00t mind you with shit players paying me off the whole way. But still, it might be hard and time consuming but I think you could do this by Monday. Give 'er!

[euphoricism]

Note: On threads that say, "I'm going to do x, y, z before monday", you should check the date.
