Good question??? I assume limping game when playing Full ring..

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

I really don't see what uNL has against people who play say 20/14 instead of 16/14.

I NEVER limp PF and i run at like 21/16, it just comes from calling behind

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

1. Get won when saw flop back up, it inexplicably dropped to 30 for november from 38-41 at various stakes throughout my poker lifetime. Gotta figure out my leaks, stop spewing and going hugely negative in non-showdown winnings.
2. Don't run horrible. 20% went to showdown, 47% won at showdown over the last 25k.
3. 70k hands, most I've ever played during a month was 40k, but I'm off of college for 3 weeks of december and I'll have a second monitor to 12 table with.
4. 50nl? Doubt it though, I'm not going to even bother with it without 35-40 buyins, I just can't handle playing with any fewer than this psychologically.
5. Don't tilt, cut those 1k hand neg 5 buyins sessions short, they pretty much never get better. If Jones decides I need to lose for the next few hours, don't argue with him.
6. Exercise regularly, just helps alot with my mental state; which leads to better play.
7. Stop dicking around on stars and get on prima. I cleared my reload bonus long ago and it's pretty pointless to be playing without RB/bonus, I'm sure there's absolutely no difference in the quality of the players at microstakes anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]This is basically how I feel. I like raising and all but sometimes folding and raising don't seem smart and getting into pots with fishies is +ev. I even feel bad limping behind when playing because it's preached so often to always raise. w/e just my random thoughts.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

I don't limp behind really, my gap just comes from calling raises. Shrug, since i got more comfortable at 50nl my game clicked and i started winning a lot more easily

yes, 75o and 87o are crap hands

raise in position, fold everywhere else (except maybe SB with multiple limpers)

[/ QUOTE ]It's true but I assume I play better than the fishies I'll limp after and will extract if i hit a straight or quads. I'm gonna try it for 20k hands or so and if they suck I'll toss them out.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

F this, time to stop messing around. I keep cashing out to pay for needless stuff and as a result, have ended up at 50NL for way too long.

60K hands of 50NL 6max.
60K+ hands of 100NL 6max.
$7500+
Get a coach.

Be ready for 200NL by January 1st.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

Play 20k more hands at 50nl to boost BR, experience and confidence before moving to 100nl. Move to 100nl hopefully halfway through the month if playing well and running decently. If all goes to plan play another 20k hands or so at 100nl.

Play 800 SNG's.

+$5000 month.

Delibrately setting volume goals high just to encourage my ass to actually put some friggin hands in.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

60k hands
100nl
greatly reduce tilt and needless spew
cut back to eight tables once i get back to 50nl

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

-70K hands (I never actually have reached this and it's sad since I'm not in school and I don't have a job)

-Continue pwning 100NL. Don't play much at 50NL unless maybe huge fish is at a 50NL table or I really can't find another decent 100NL table

-Increase bankroll $1000 by end of month and start playing 200NL a little

-Pay expenses and make extra $1000 to contribute to IRA; $1000 to contribute regular portfolio; $1000 to throw in the bank (just in case the unthinkable bad month comes along gotta have several months expenses in there); split extra money up between bank and portfolio

-Win a seat to PCA (still coming up short on this like $300 in)

-Thinking about trying to play a good amount of MTT's this month and get top 100 on TLB.

-Play a lot of 5400 sats to get rid of those FPP's and get some cash.

Yeah. I played like a 6 hour session there last week. They had just opened the table when I sat, and when I left there was still only like $500 on the whole table. I keep telling myself to quit playing there but everyone's so bad it's ridiculous.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

Soley to reduce tilt, stop playing tired and only bring my a-game which has been enough to crush 20nl, and if I reduce all that, I should be able to move up to 50nl by january, but we'll see how it goes.

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

200K hands and actually win at poker

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
 

Actually play some hands: Minimum of 20k (Last 2 months combined only 13k)

Don't tilt: Last 2 downswings were probably 80% tilt, cost me way too much

Move up to 100nl by mid december and crush [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: *OFFICIAL* December Goals Thread
