That's right kids, it's that time again. Personally, I'd like to see us, as a group do better on our non-poker goals then we collectively did in June (/Dr. Phil). Except for Heisenb3rg who succeeded in his misguided goal of keeping his Vegas stripper bill under $2k.

Poker:

1. Finish Maths of Poker, reread rest of HPFAP, browse through WTO and IYP.

2. Continue working in some 10/20, run good when I do.

3. Stop making 'curiosity' calls when I know I'm beaten on river in big pots.

4. US PT to help me clean up preflop a bit - figure out where to play such hands as a7o, KTo and Q9s.

5. Value bet the river.

6. At least 50k hands.

7. With Bonii, see if I can have my first 5 figure month. Might be kinda cheating since there's an outside shot I'll clear the 200k VPP stepping bonus.

Non-Poker

1. Close on a semi-baller condo.

2. Read at least 3 non-poker books

3. Drop that last 5 [censored] pounds. Under 200 or bust, I mean it. (I swear, I'm the most in shape semi-portly guy in the world right now, I can run forever and am at least as fast as I was in college, if not more. But I'm still a little puffy...grrrr....)

4. Get time off work for a November Vegas trip (HOLLA!)

5. Run good at work (ONE TIME, YOUR HONOR!)

6. Get hooked up with teams for a few ultimate tournies this fall.

1) 30k LHE hands
2) Eat better
3) Finish my PLO reading
4) Daily PLO reading/posting

[Bad Beat Maker]

Re-read SSHE, read HPFAP, read over Stox book just to learn some for the future (hoping that I reach those stakes).

Not tilt.

Not play drunk.

Keep apartment clean (stolen [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am interested in learning some plo. what books/articles would you recommend?

[Gib]

make back the $ I lost in June

[Heisenb3rg]

hookers are for f*cking, not killing.. silly sociopaths..

1) 2.0BB/100 at limit hold 3m
2) Golf/driving range twice a week
3) at least 50k hands
4) Continue succesfully transitioning to 10/20
5) Yoga 5 times a week
6) Gym 3 times a week
7) Play 2/5 NL live at least once a week
8) Start coaching
9) Stop suffering from FPS at 10/20

[donger]

There's not much out there, really. Rolf slotbloom's book seems good so far, and I just ordered the stewart ruben book. The rest it will just be reading/posting in the PLO forum and talking to some friends of mine who play well.

I advise 3-betting Aces.
