-Get both Gib and DavidC to stake me for 10/20+.
-Play only at their tables... win their money.
-Move to WSEX, take Inferno's money.
-Repay Gib, DavidC for the stake, win back that money playing 10/20 with them again.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm still waiting for the PMs to get staked... then my ultimate goals of May can come to fruition.

[00Snitch]

Well.... spit it out....

- Play 5k hands at 5/10
Done. Ended up playing about 8.5k hands of full ring. Ran at 2.9bb/100 for a 2.5k profit. Add a couple hundred in from some 3/6 and 2/4 and PT shows me a nice big green number of $2,769.25. woot! That might be my best month to date.

- Finish reading ToP
Done. Last night. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

- Start reading HEFAP
Will start tonight. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

- Don't play NL100
Done. lol, thats not much of a goal, but it probably saved me a few hundred dollars. Which would have been >10% of my monthy profit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

- Play my RTR free-roll on FTP (win a seat at WSOP)
Nope. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I blame timezones.

- Figure out the best way to withdraw excess funds from my bankroll.
Done. Yay! Thanks to Mr Benson I have 5 thousand shiny clams sitting in my bank account. I would like to add that YOUR AMERICAN DOLLAR SUCKS BIG BALLS! 6 months ago, I would have had heaps more than that. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

- Start investing said funds.
Well, I started thiking about it... I guess earning 6% interest is some kind of investing...

Play more hands than last month. overall I did, but I wanted to play more @ stars which I didn't
Get a few more in @ 15/30 & maybe higher.got some hands here, ran pretty awful so I didn't bother playing any higher
Build a br @ another site high enough for 5/10. haha, yeah that worked! Still stuck @ the beginning on this, I think I may put it on the back-burner for a while until after June

Keep practicing as much eightball as I can & focus on playing well at the 1st round of State Championships. played like crap in the 1st round, but done enuff to keep myself eligible to qualify for finals if do a bit better in the 2nd round

Overall May was good, I would of liked to have put a few more hands in, next month maybe!

1. Find a new site with good rb/bonus etc. for my 600

Currently harvesting the cryptos.

2. Go back to the books.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, no not really.

[ QUOTE ]
3. Maintain hot streak at 1/2. (5.9BB/100 over 2300 hands).

[/ QUOTE ]

More of a hope than a goal of course. Currently 0.3BB/100 across 1/2 - 6 and full and small sample of 2/4 - 6 and full.

[ QUOTE ]
4. Increase VPIP - 13.89 is very exploitable by thinking players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its going up, over 18 now. I am burning money up being too tight. I still feel weak Post-flop and it affects my confidence.

I'm going to try to read and respond to a lot more forum posts - but that's for June...

-Continue my trek into the realm of 6 max (6k @ .05/.10-.25/.50 6max)
I only got in 1K before I wanted to break things so I stopped. Didn't reach .25/.50 either except in a 6max 15BB challenge----FAILED
-Building bankroll with what I know (2K .5/1 and 1/2 FR)
deffinately did a good rebuilding almost 5K hands between .25/.50 and 1/2 running at 4.9BB/100 for the total month is good for the BR and the soul -----COMPLETED
-2 tournaments a week (4/180 or other multis with BI's <4)
I did more then 2 a week on average but they were all done in two days one at the start and one in the middle of May but ended up +$110 becuase of 2 deep finishes ----COMPLETED
-reread SSH and TOP
Nope I read no parts of either one. Read a bit of Doyle's "Poker Wisdom Of A Champion" and WLLH ----FAILED

Life goals

will finish tonight hopefully ------ALMOST COMPLETED
-stick to non-smoking that I started this month
Have had 3 cigarettes all month on three seperate ocassions out drinking with freinds -----NOT BAD

Poker wise this was my second biggest month ever with a total of $365 made in 37 hours of play. SHIP IT!!!!!

Also reached Silver Star for the first time

[MrWookie]

Well, I got in my 2k hands, but there wasn't much winning involved.

[00Snitch]

Good work on the smoking nomadtla. I've been semi-trying to quit this year. I now smoke a pack or less a week.. however, that is pretty much all on the weekend. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

-Continue my trek at 6-max.
- I wanna make a video to get coached by the duecescracked team. I think it will be more then worth it.
- Work on session control. Ie when to leave etc.
-Continue practicing hand reading and using the DCT videos for self coaching.

Started off well, but in the end failed every goal. On the plus side I increased my bankroll by 25%.

[OziBattler]

Im cheating cos I didnt actually put my goals on paper but I did
1. move up to 1/2 and doing ok (ie lost a but cleared lots of stars bonus) despite running suckily (1 flush with sooted cards over 2k hands and actually losing money with sets and trips).
2. Got silverstar at stars (not easy given I jump around clearing bonuses and only play <5k hands a month)
3. Played better postflop. My W2SD is still about 34-35 but its because nits and fish keep giving me free SDs when they have me beat when I was going to fold. I am zee expert at raise flop, bet turn, check river line. hurrah.

basically for 2007 (ie since a milestone post I made about misapplying SSHE) Ive been running at nearly 3BB/100 and to be honest, Im pretty damn happy with that cos I actually have gotten better at not being a total tard postflop.
