Re: October Goals Thread!
 

just an aside here. why do you guys post win rates? it has absolutely nothing to do with how you are playing.

Instead of putting 1.5bb/100 this month, you should put

dont tilt
don't play when Im tired
don't play at bad tables
don't outlag lags.

the win rate, even if you play 20K hands, is so insignificant.

2. Recover from awful downswing first two weeks of September.
4. Win enough to make up for breaking even June-August

8. Actually be a winning player at 10/20 and 15/30 Omaha 8 so that I can start playing 30 and 75.

Unfortunately there's basically no way for this to realistically happen unless I win like 6bb/hour live and run 8bb/100 online so I just want to recover from getting gang raped in September.

I was being semi-serious as well, but that's the day everybody 2-6 outing me constantly, and I started missing every single draw, you know how the story goes. I handled it poorly and my shot at 10/20 went to hell from there.

Re: October Goals Thread!
 

Ah, i meant semi-serious w/regards to the whole forum.

That sucks though dude. Take a break, etc. Then the 1st time you decide you want to play poker, don't. Then the next time you want to play poker do.

- Loosen up more (I try this every month, never works)
- Punch ex-gf in the ta-tas
- Identify bluffs and 3b when I know they'll fold (but only image permitting)
- $eleventybillion
- Find new gf with even better ta-tas (may be very difficult)
