Official JUNE thread: Goals, Winrates, General Discussion, etc

[LearnedfromTV]

Goals:

1. Win the $10K I want to take to Vegas in July from a combo of cash and tourney play. $ goals for short-term period are results-oriented and suck but it's hard not to set this one.

2. play 15K hands of 200 and 400 NL, four-tabling, moving up once I am fully comfortable at 200. (I'll also be playing some 100 and 200 PLO and some tournaments).

3. Comment on twenty-five MSNL hands and post five hands each week, including posting one really good hand a week - i.e that generates serious discussion.

4. This is a big one that I've been planning to do for a while - Search the archives to compile a collection of great threads. I've been ad hoc so far (I've read a bunch but only have a couple favorites saved) and I want to have a bunch of stuff to print out and read/reread/rereread alongside the good poker books I have, some of which I want to reread in June as well.

Goals:

Play ~8K hands of 1/2 6m and ~2K hands of 2/4 6m and run at ~4ptBB/100 at each level.

Challenge:

Continue to improve my online game. Found a couple of major leaks aka gushers, now to fix them.

Expectation:

Get off my lazy ass and build a poker PC with a Dell 2405FPW so I can multitable without lapping.

Win the monthly donkament at my local B&M for a nice score since I am running hot in them right now. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Continue to tune up my donkment skills for the WSOP season, as I plan on play 3-4 events this year. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Play at least one session of 5/10 or 10/20 live in LA and kill it.

lol I like this one. So easy to say "eh, pot odds. Call."

I started to game select better towards the end of May and I'd like to keep this up, so game selecting well is one of my goals.

Several of my sessions this month started by dropping 10 buy-ins and playing 5k hands to eventually finish +2buyins or something. I've been focusing on playing tighter for the first 30 minutes or so of play (basically when I'm still getting my tables set up, etc) and this has helped. Definitely want to keep this up, as it sucks to spend your entire session trying to chase losses from the first 20 minutes.

I finished at just over $30k this month, so monetarily I'll shoot for $50k in June. This thread has inspired me.

Stack every one of you fools.

[Case Closed]

I'll only be around for 2 weeks so I have less goals.

-Have at least 4 days where I play 4500 hands or more.
-Tilt less
-Concentrate more on improving my game.
