October is gonna be busy for me...
1) Completely finish the experiments for my Ph.D. nope... just a couple more to go
2) Write most of my first draft of the thesis didn't even start
3) Apply for jobs (as many as I can) 3 is where I got
4) Probably study poker more than play... my long-term goal is to keep studying until it is legal in the US... then make millions, split it up with the people on here that helped me get there, and retire.Still working on this one

1) Get senior thesis rolling in earnest.Need to pay more attention to this.

2) Get better at rowing. I want to row at the Head of the Charles in Boston. Didn't row at the Charles, but did get better, rowing going great, ATM

3) Do a larger percentage of my homework. I'm currently holding steady at like 30% or so (I get straight A's, FWIW--the desire to do my work comes from a desire to actually learn something. Grades mean little to me.) Accomplished, up to about 40% homework now.

4) Continue to grind the nanos at Stars (until they shut down(?)). If they do, find another home for my micro roll.Moved to genuine micros on FT

5) Buy myself something nice with poker profit.Not feasible.

6) Do a better job focussing on personal relationships--i.e. girlfriend, parents, friends.Definitely did a good job here.

7) Get graduate school applications organized.Need to get on this.

8) Maybe drink less--maybe...Actually did do this.

Ok, my goals
- have a winning month - Woot. Yes! 11BB/100 over last 1k at Paradise really helped + positive ROI at stars/absolute low limit donkaments
- fold good folds and see my W2SD closer to 32 and my W$SD get above 50% no/yes. my W2SD is high due to running sickhot. My W2SD is like 54%. shipit.
- play at least 5k hands Failed. Too busy donkamenting....I need a break from FR
- prepare to move up to 1/2. Ive always said that I dont move up until I am beating a limit or beating it in terms of slansky bucks Failed. Since I need a break from FR I decided not to move up...also wanted to see how the Frist Dust settled before making a move
- do my bit to save the micros Yes, I think I did my part...but that is debatable
- get drunk and start 2+2 tables Um, every time I start a 2+2 table in my evennings it gets like 2-3 ppl cos apparently all you americans arent drunk at 9am sat morning [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]....note: the new 6max 2c/4c tables at stars are going to motivate me to start a drunkfest game sometime in the not to distant future
- maintain a decent level of personal fitness over my summer Pass (so far). Ran 4.3k in 17minsflat last week. thatwilldo
- find a bottle shop that actually sells american beer that is NOT bud or miller Failed. Closest I found aside from bud n miller was Konakee but its Canadian so strickly speaking I failed...I do have a plan b but it involves me driving further

bring on november...

1. Met - Top 8 at kentucky and top 16 at harvard with some very strong wins. on pace to be top 16 overall by the end of the year.

2. Met - re-read (some sections more than others). the old study groups were pretty useless to me, though, because most of the discussions were not monitored by elders...

3. ??? - in the work, still, i assume, unless i missed it this weekend.

4. still don't have ptracker or a HUD

5. i'm not currently failing but i am, in fact, pathetic

6. met - mostly

7. met

Build a new PC,

I don't know whether to go Core2 or AM2, the only problem is the Core2 mobo's seem a bit expensive at the moment.

Yep Built a pretty grunty machine;
Core2 E6600
2GB Corsair DDRII RAM
Radeon X1900GT

just waiting for a new power supply: Antec NeoHE 500W





Start playing more 2/4 6m & hopefully get back to 3/6 6m.
[b]Played 14K @ 2/4 6m, will move to 3/6 in NOV.[b]

1. Pass my qualifying exam 10/19. Check!!!!!
2. Spend the night of 10/19 drunk off my M.S.-endowed ass. Check!!!!!
3. Wake up 10/20 sometime, and get my act together sufficiently to drive to the Fallsview casino. Check. Meet up with some number of 2+2ers. Check, but just one Play better poker and enact my revenge on the 5/5 NL game Half credit. I only played 2/5 NL that night, but I did play better poker. Perhaps play some limit depending on what games are running, what 2+2ers show up, and if I don't want to sit 10+ buy ins deep at 5/5 NL after pwning it. Check
4. Stop playing poker some time in the early morning hours of 10/21. Elect to either drive home or be a balla and get a room there. Wake up in the early afternoon of 10/21. Repeat goal 3. Check, although I didn't pwn 5/5 NL. 75% credit.
5. Repeat goal 4 for 10/22.Failed. I decided not to play poker on Sunday

Beyond this, I'm not sure. Last night, I was playing some 100 NL on Prima, and that may be an appealing option so I don't have to have too much money sitting on a poker site with things so uncertain. Bitches are holding my money. I don't want to put any hand count goals with my qualifier looming and the outside chance of bad things. I guess my goal is to wait and see w/o doing anything stupid, and to not lose my roll to stupid legislation. Check

All in all, pretty successful, considering I hardly played any poker this month.

1 - clear PS bonus, ~200 FFP's left done
2 - clear UB bonus, halfway through still halfway through [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. really want that bonus
3 - stop making plays that make me think "I really shouldn't be doing this" while I do it, or "I'm definitely beat here and should've folded" this has been working for me, got me out of a slump. I'm gonna stop making plays based on whether or not the peeps at 2p2 would like it, but based of pot size, reads, and my own honest input. (to be fair, is what you guys think of too when a hand is posted, but it's not the same)
