November Goals Post
 

Allllllllllllllrighty folks, wintry weather on the way. Wear those scarves now. Mittens too.


<font color="blue">Poker Goals

- Play 7k hands. 10k is clearly out of the question given my work too. Most of these at 5/T please, unless I play like a spewfest donk retard in which case back to 3/6.

- Decide on which site to retain my BR. See a post on this soon, with pros and cons for each.

- Run about -1BB/100 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

- keep looking at NL MTTs and ring, with a view to jump ship should things all go south fast.

- hope BR crests and sustains &gt;$5k

-Get all my darn digests back up to date and speed - the end of november should be 52 for the year!!</font>


<font color="brown">Real Worldly Goals

- continue to supply cirrhosis and receive second hand smoke at my workplace.

- play, and thump, the staff at poker

- go to Edinburgh and see our flat, and friends.

- get all the jobs done to this house before Jenny's mum returns.

- EXERCISE MORE GODDAMMIT</font>

Re: November Goals Post
 

- Move down to 2/4 and 3/6, rework my strat from the ground up [yeah.. even my preflop game needs some work since i became a nit after my last downswing]

- Get hands together for coaching

- Put in roughly 10k hands or so at 2/4, do a full game analysis again

- Play well, run better

- Participate around here more [including the hand swaps]

Re: November Goals Post
 

poker
- 10k+ at 10/20+
- stay away from 2+2 when not at work
nonpoker
- lose some LBs
- find more good music

Re: November Goals Post
 

-Play 20k total hands.

-Not have another -200 BB downswing.

-Actually build up my partial 'rolls on PS &amp; FT into proper bankrolls for 3/6.

-Actively participate in this forum, since it's becoming abundantly clear that 3/6 full on Full Tilt ain't gonna cut it.

-Stop feeling like I absolutely, positively must see the turn whenever I PFR, even if I'm holding 86s on an AKQ rainbow flop.

-Get out of the apartment more. I hear they serve drinks in these places called "bars" now.

-Cut down to less than 2 packs a day.

-Clean these floors. They're dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

Re: November Goals Post

Play shorter sessions

Don't tilt

Don't chase losses

No monetary goals

Re: November Goals Post
 

Adjust to PokerStars. It seems that everybody wants to push me off my hands on Stars. Unfortunately, when I call down they have monsters....

Life Goals
--------------
Slow down on partying. Buckle down to study LSATs. Bring sexy back

Poker Goals
--------------
Try to get above 2.0BB/100 in 3/6
More hands @ 5/10
Get in at least 3k hands in PLO

Re: November Goals Post
 

Stretch Goals -
- Stop breaking even at 6max and start winning.
- Now that I am starting to feel more comfortable at 6max start posting hands.
- Finish clearing the UB bonus and get away from that site.
- Keep reading and studying
- Finish SS2 and maybe try picking up a different game from HE as a change of pace.
- Do another session review.

More realistically since my wife is due Nov 6th with our 3rd - just play some amount of poker.

Re: November Goals Post
 

If anyone can find a way to get me to play 20k hands of poker this month, let me know.

And a prop bet won't work because if I wanted money that bad I would play.

Re: November Goals Post
 

-Play at least 10k hands

-Learn how to play short handed

-Start winning 1/2

-Study more

I haven't managed 20k in September AND October combined. Gunning for it this time around, hoping to average about 650 hands/day. There's always a day or two where I get stuck bad playing complete idiots and end up having a 1200 hand session, so I think I can make it work.

Re: November Goals Post
 

I just started playing limit as a seriously needed hiatus from sngs. As such all I want is to play 15k hands at .5/1. Maybe post hands if I get over myself.

Re: November Goals Post

This was my goal until I decided to not take classes next semester (graduating with MS so I guess I gotta finish that).

POKER
1) Win some damn MTTs already

Everything contingent on that.

EDIT: Oh yeah and get a job, hopefully one that 1)allows me to play more poker and 2) allows me to bankroll more poker
