Goals for June
 

Can I start a goals for June thread? If not let this slide off the end.

My goals:

10-15k hands of good shorthanded .5/1 play.

Move up to 1/2 permanently if I can get properly rolled.

"play better post-flop--stop calling down when I'm certain I'm beat"

I'm adding that one to my list as well. WHAT? YOU DONK ME. SCREW YOU. RAISE. WHAT? 3-BET. YOU'RE BLUFFING. CALL.

etc...

Re: Goals for June
 

Real simple first goal I'm hopin: 5k hands of 5max and 2500 hands of NL50. If the NL:TAP book comes any time soon hopefully finish it by the end of the month.

Re: Goals for June
 

I finished it the day after I got it. It's good.

Re: Goals for June
 

Get out of my 150+BB downswing

Re: Goals for June
 

beat up the bellagio 15/30

Re: Goals for June
 

40 k hands.

Re: Goals for June
 

my noob goals

- get rolled for 0.50/1.00
- stay at 0.25/0.50 until i am rolled for 0.50/1.00. im aiming for 250-300BB, currently sitting at about 200. i have a real problem with moving up before having the roll and getting slapped then tilting.
- play 2-4hrs a day, aiming for 5k+ hands
- clear another interpoker reload. quite hard at 0.25/0.50. :-\
- read ssh again

Re: Goals for June
 

* reread SSHE
* build bankroll up to play 8/16 live
* starting beating 1/2 online at a higher rate that .50BB Per 100
* stop multi-tabling so I can get better at poker
* post more hands and reply to more hands

Re: Goals for June
 

*figure out if i'm in a downswing or i suck

Re: Goals for June
 

- Keep plugging away at 3/6 6max
- Play a bit more 2/4 5max
- Play some more FR
- Take a few shots at 5/10
- Put alot more time on the pool table, esp. adjusting to the different weight distribution of my new cue.

Re: Goals for June
 

<ul type="square">[*]Post some hands[*]Think more about why I'm betting[*]Think way more about why I'm calling[*]Think about folding a bit more often[*]Get at least 5k hands of 6-max in[*]Stop playing Stars turbos; just becomes a mess without a big early chip lead (and don't succumb to the rebuys and addons so easily).[/list]
I'd also like to win a MTT. I usually do okay, but succumb to easily to desperation.

And bless all the fish.

- Not waste any money in tourneys, maybe play a FR or 2
- Be prepared (rolled, because I know I have the skill to beat it, since I did it before) for .5/1 by then end of June
- read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, and maybe check out Eeegahs blog since his posts entertain me every day

Re: Goals for June
 

I probably won't even have that much time this month.
Still I'll try:
* Try some NL, say 500 hands
* Try practicing 3- or 4-tabling under protection of Party bonus
* Mix 6-max and FR.
* Try to get bankroll into 1/2 territory

Re: Goals for June
 

30+ hrs/week, every week.

Re: Goals for June
 

-Figure out how to win money at poker again.
-Continue to bless 2+2 with my wit and brutal honesty.
-Poker winnings or no, generate income in some way.

Re: Goals for June
 

- Continue to (and thus prove that I can) beat .5/1
- Reread SSHE
- Figure out which book to get next
- Get a poker coach
- Clear at least $150 in boni

Re: Goals for June
 

- Stop bluffing fish
- Stop being so aggro in small pots with no fold equity
- Learn to read the board alot better and slow down in situations I'm likely behind to opponents range.
- Stop c-betting before looking at the board.
- Stop making a laydown and then reading 2+2 and not looking at what the fish bluffed me off with.
- Dont play more than 2 tables of 6-max so I'm not a readless goon and I know what it means when someone donks me on an Axx flop, cold calls a turn raise or raises my flop c-bet.
- Try to stem my 100BB downswings by not tilting and not paying attention to my stack size. (assuming the swings are down to bad play)
- Stop saying 'ugh' in the chat box when someone rivers two pair and raises my value bet.
- End my 5k breakeven stretch by doing all these things.
- Sign up for review sessions every fortnight (after exams)
- Try to keep my girlfriend from getting pissed with me for playing too much poker
- Research rakeback schemes and join one, aswell as bonuswhore
- Watch more poker videos cos they are fun.
- make a note of interesting hands to post as I'm playing because I always forget which ones I want to be reviewed.
- Get flamed by someone every week so I learn something.
- Stop setting too many goals

Re: Goals for June
 

- Try to get away from poker for a bit to work on experiments, but when I do play...
- Continue to study 6-max play
- Try a June challenge like Guruman
- Keep bonus whoring
- Beat Jax at a heads up match and make him post in BBV.
- Hold my liquor better than Wookie.
- Berudicate Miles at correct 6-max play, then take his money. Laugh my way to the bank.

Re: Goals for June
 

- finish my first logged 10K at 0.50/1.00 6max by single tabling (~2,000 to go).
- start a log book and track questionable difficult hands for post mortem
- do a session review on myself
- keep making my copy of SSHE more and more dog eared
- buy ToP
- post my first hand
- do some dabbling in micro-limit NL 6max -- where I started from
- a few hours of $1/$2 6max
- register at one other online site and start clearing a bonus
- one session of $4/$8 limit at a local B&amp;M

Re: Goals for June
 

First finish my second 600€ B2B bonus for the month latest the 7th. Then a well needed break from poker to go to Germany and watch Sweden in the World Cup in football (soccer).

After that:
*Less bonuses, so I can:
-Study more instead of writing down things that needs to be improved
-Play mainly 2/4

Re: Goals for June
 

*Make $5k, at least 2k of which is from actually winning
*read a poker book
*continue to get out of the house daily
*don't forget my gf's b-day
*play 1k hands of NL100 (or NL50 if I suck too much)
*play at least 30k hands
