sn?

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Heh..Keep it to myself generally, sorry, but it does me no good to make it public.

Pokerboy knows my name, can vouch that I do play at 100NL

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

No graph yet because I still have a few days in which I can lose my whole roll...

Goals.
Play enough to maintain Plat status on Stars.
Play the rest live during juicy WSOP cash games..
Run really well from 6/14-6/25 when I am on vacation and have nothing to do but play Live Cash games.
Be playing 5/10NL Live by the end of that week (not going to happen)

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

I had a really good month but will wait until the end of the day to post my graph.

As far as June goals:

1. Begin working out.
I actually think this will help my poker game. I'll probably do weights 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week.
2. NLHT&P
I was reading some sections of this book yesterday. I gotta admit, parts of it are really brilliant. Unfortunately there is a bit of fluff in there, but reading and understanding the concepts will help me decide which is which.
3. Mathematics of Poker
I ordered this book but probably won't see it until the end of the month.
4. 10K VPP/week
I'm still on pace to hit the 500,000VPP mark this year. Actually, I am 12 days ahead of schedule, which means I get 12 days off!
5. Win the FR Championship.

I played my last session so horrible that im done with may, last days off.

JUNE:

1. hopefully im able to move up, stars 400nl fr isn't really tempting, the games don't seem very good. Might have to start playing on two sites, atleast so I can 12 table good tables.
2. I really need to start working out

goGOgoGO

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Not that many hand this month. I started the month playing 100NL and ended with my first ever 400NL session.

My hopes for June are to play a mix of 200NL and 400NL with a >0 win rate - whilst improving my game by re-reading NLHTAP and perusing the 2+2 archives.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

1) Make poker fun again/stop putting pressure on myself to move up
2) Make 1 video for the forum per week
3) Play 12K hands
4) Focus on building a bankroll and not trying to win every pot.
5) Play better in marginal situations, esp on the river (value bet more).

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Mathematics of poker is cool. I have not bought but read in stores quite a bit.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

i love mathematics of poker

killer poker by the numbers is more relevant though and shows quite a bit of what kind of analysis I do on a superficial level

Thanks for recommending this. I'll check it out.


Out of curiosity, what did you think of NLHTP?

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/680...algraphys5.jpg

1600$ this month but add 1k$ in bonus monies and the month was pretty good.
2/3th is 50NL. Rest is 100NL.
Almost made it to 2k but got two beats in the end so I decided to do some sng today. (AAvsQQ and AKvsAJ).

June goals: staying at 100NL and just improve my game. Also posting more hands here.

thats cool that your role model is a damn dirty shortstacker

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Only 3 weeks worth as I just moved back to FR in the middle of May. Was looking to be a pretty good month before the doomswitch came

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...0587/myf-1.png

+1k in other limits
+4.5k in VIP bonuses
+1k in unused FPPs
=
a little over an 11k month so I cant really complain

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Melon,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's really not much of a bad run. You will have much, much worse at some point.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

My goal is to play 100K hands in a month like a robot for the first time, and see if I can do it.

I also lost 2 BIs at NL100, and 2 at 6 max during that point. Ive also had a much bigger downswing than this one Id just thought FR was supposed to have much lower variance and wasnt expecting something like this. Its all good though Im ready to kick June's butt!!

June goals:
at least 120k hands
>12k monies before bonuses
Start taking shots at good NL400 games
Dont tilt
Enjoy life

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

I'm very pleased with my results this month.

Donkaments: <font color="green"> +278.90 </font>
NL100 <font color="green"> +6,880.37 </font>
NL200 <font color="red"> -$123.50 </font>
Milestone Bonus <font color="green"> +$2,000</font>
FPPs* <font color="green"> +$2,431.82 </font>

TOTAL = + $11,467.59

*FPP total is value based on what I can get for them via the Supernova bonuses in the VIP FPP store. I subtracted the 50,000 from my total that I used to purchase the Milestone Bonus.

Graph below includes results from cash games only.

Overall 2.76BB/100. That includes my failed shottakaments at 200NL.

The games were really good this month and I've improved my game quite a bit lately. Also most of my action is during the day, even though I perform better at night (I think game quality is a bit better).

I had a crappy month last month so this helped.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***

Awesome awesome month Pokerboy..God I want to put in hands like that..that would be amazing.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***

I redeposited on Stars on May 12th for the 10 billionth hand promotion. My summer job didn't start till the 21st, so I was able to grind out a few thousand hands 2 weeks ago. Since my 9-5 started I've only been able to squeeze in 200-300 hands or so per night (I'll 4 table for an hour, then go to sleep). I pretty much broke even over 2.5k hands at .5/1 limit, was up about $50 at .25/.50 limit, and am up about $140 at 25NL over 2.6k hands. I'm a part-time player and don't rely on poker as my main source of income. Thanks to the double FPP/VPP bonus period I was able to grind out about $250 profit (with the bonus) and get to SilverStar for the second time ever.

As for June...

I'd realistically like to play 15k hands. This means I would have to play about 2 hours a day to get in about 500 hands or so. I think some days I will play a lot more than others, and maybe try 5-6 tabling instead of 4 tabling.

I would like to continue to run at &gt; +7 ptbb/100 over this coming month.

If I get in all the hands I'm hoping for and continue to run well and play decent, I would have enough to move to 50NL almost exclusively.

As an added bonus, I'd like to get Silver Star again and keep saving FPP's for when I finally make a run for GoldStar and the cash bonus (rakeback).

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Finished the month of May -10bb/100.

The goal for June is to play as many hands, but finish +5bb/100.

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

for those of you playing 100k 200k hands, do you play pro or are just students on vacation?

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Im a student on summer vacation. Why get some crappy $8/hr when I can make 10x that from poker, thats what keeps me motivated

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***
 

Student as well..I just don't really do homework or study for tests because I am lazy..So other than hangin wit girlfriend I just play cards..I'm such a degen

Re: ***Official May Graphs / June Goals Thread ***

Not a bad month, but not a great month. Much too swingy. 3.74bb/100, 7466 total hands. 6300 hands NL10 FR, the rest is a mix of NL5(6max)and nl2 because I have like 30 stuck on UB for the time being and donk around with it to blow off steam.

June Goals.

Keep rolling on my FT bonus + Rakeback.
Learn how to play AQ
6k to 7k hands
Keep it together so I can start taking shots at NL25 in July.
