Its funny, I've forgotten what my goals for this month were. I suppose that sort of defeats the purpose...

Anyway, I already know that one of my goals for next month will be some sort of consistency. I've put in about 25k hands in like 12 different games this month...

[Absolution]

[ QUOTE ]
- No tilt.
- Stop cashing out and actually move up the limits.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya, I didn't meet either of these goals. I had some tilty sessions, although I've been getting a little better at reigning it in.

I cashed out after my first month at Party just to make sure everything is working before I go grinding there.

It was a positive month though without rakeback or bonuses so I can't complain that much.

Also, I took my first shot at 5/10 and that went badly of course. I had a great table, but the cards wouldn't cooperate. I had this guy two to my right 3-betting my UTG raises with things like QTs and A8o. Of course, I'd hit top pair and he'd make trips on the turn after spewing on the flop. There was one loose and random aggressive, but mostly calling station across from me. The rest were random versions of bad TAGS/LAGS who would make ridiculous caps and raises (all rewarded this time of course.)

Also, I got rakeback set up at a site for the first time and now have myself spread across 3 sites. I'm late to all of this and was mostly just on Stars. It will be nice to have the ability to game select across different sites. Stars seems so much more difficult that the other sites I'm playing it even though it has such a large population. I guess they are all NL junkies because the limit games there seem full of TAGs and LAGs.

Solution? Naked Avatars on your poker site or decks of cards with nekkid ladies on them. (Or dudes, not judging :-D )
