2. Don't play HU period (except maybe a lowstakes game with people on here). This kind of goes hand in hand with #1. I burned $1500+ playing HU while tilting last month.

HU is the easiest to tilt at by far IMO

I had a big problem with that back in Jan/Early-Feb but lately have seemed to get past it

it also seems like the most lucrative BB/100 possible with minimal tilt and decent/good game selection, I wish Stars would add HU cash games

Make God let me run hot for once.

100k hands.

2) Play less FR NL, more LHE

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? And are you playing 6max LHE?

[/ QUOTE ]

LHE is my best and my main game, and I enjoy it more. I usually play about 40-60k hands of 3/6-10/20 6max LHE per month anyways. I hope to increase that to about 80k hands of LHE this month.

[crazymoose]

1. 20k hands.
2. Goldstar VIP level.
3. Stop tilting/berating fishes.
4. Have a winning month.

[Johnes Benjamin]

1. Clear 70k hands
2. Run at 2+pt/100
3. Maybe try playing more than 8 tables
4. Play some omaha hi/lo turbo SNG's when I'm drunk
5. Review my sessions, post, and improve my game
6. Continue having fun playing poker

My primary goal is to not tilt after a beat. I often play my A game for 1K-2K hands in a row and in couple of hundreds hands, lose 3-4 buy-ins on pure tilt and really bad bluff. If I can avoid the tilt, my bankroll will go up smoothly.

My original bankroll : 250$
Mid-july winning : 50$ in 10000 hands (NL10) + 50$ bonus
Bankroll : 350$
Goal : 500$ at the end of August on NL10 (2-tables) and start NL25 with 20 buy-ins. To make this goal, I must play 25000 hands with a BB/100 of 3. Very doable if I stay discipline at the tables.

[wallenborn]

1. study less
2. play more
3. have a winning month

[Kos13]

1. Play 40K hands.
2. Play more 1/2.
3. Buy a balla chair (mine broke today).
4. In celebration of my big payday (and in an attempt to break out of my tightwad status), buy something completely unnecessary for ~$150.
5. Read PROFESSIONAL POKER: The Essential Guide To Playing For A Living by Mark Blade.
