April Results/May Goals!
 

Hey guys, used to do one of these back in SSSH. Hope noone does these here and i apologise if i'm treading on someone's toes!

<font color="blue">Poker

- play 15k hands at 50NL (played 5k last month getting back into it)
- learn when and where to c/r more often, i'm not doing it enough or in the right places, i think.
- fish chase better (take even better notes to aid this)
- try not to get stacked with overpairs (when i can help it)
- think about how to play better OOP [i think i c-bet too much without thinking]
- try and work BR on crypto and party up to $1k each so i can try out 100NL when i've a) played my 15k hands or b) spot fishies there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
- read, reply and post on these strat boards instead of looking at OOT first [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]</font>

<font color="brown">Life
- try not to let working at the pub 5/9-5/22 get in the way of my return to poker [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
- sort out the last of the big issues to be nailed down for my wedding
- exercise lots and look a bit better by the wedding [6/16] (including swimming a mile in one session by June 1)
- hope the trip to edinburgh is cancelled so I can concentrate on poker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]</font>

Look forward to posting with you all in May!

My co-worker says he only needs $400 for $100NL. If he runs bad he just turns off the computer and variance is put to a stop.

Oh yeah, he has gone busto 3 times and is currently busto looking for another $3-400. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Play 4k hands during May.
Get to the gym 3-4x's per week.
Grunch one hand per day.

no, i want $1k in party, $1k in crypto and $1k in stars, before playing 100NL anywhere. I can transfer funds easily if i run worse.

I'd never play a limit on 10BI total!

Grunch one hand per day? what this means?

Re: May Goals!
 

To 'grunch' means to post your thoughts and opinions on a hand without looking at any of the other replies in the thread. It's generally accepted that this is the best way to improve your play, rather than just falling back on more experienced posters without thinking it through.

Re: May Goals!
 

may:

poker -

50k hands at 50nl

10ptbb

therefore, $5,000 for the month

life -

make my new apartment (move in on friday) sick as [censored]

not go financially bankrupt

be able to brag and laugh at playing micro-stakes poker for a living

Re: May Goals!
 

1. Become an active member of the community here at MSNL...recently moved across from FTR...including posting and replying to hand discussions...and not just lurking.
2. Grind 25NL, and make a smooth transition to 50NL with in the next 10K hands.
3. Play 7K hands a week for the next four weeks.
4. Get enough FPP's on stars this month for the IPOD nano at 17000fpps&lt;--this will be a bit of a stretch i think but worth putting down.

(thanks ama [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])kinda funny that i read that post at the begining of my worst downswing evar. yayayay.

Re: April Results/May Goals!
 

Anyone got a link handy to the previous goals thread?

Whatever my goals for April were, I haven't met many of them. I had a solid losing month, so I certainly didn't make most goals I've set.
I did play 28k hands, though, and I think I was aiming for 15k.

For May:
- Play 20k hands or more
- Improve post-flop decisions
- Make a tidy profit
- Add annoying posters to the ignore list, no reason to read their crap

Cool, thanks for digging that up!

1) Check, gonna do the comparison soon. Although, with the awful run I've had, I doubt I'll get valuable information out of that.
2) Check
3) Check, 6-tabling is easy. No 8-tabling, yet.
4) Negative

Hmm... made 3 out of 4 1/2 goals, unfortunately missed the one that's worth most. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
