AUGUST: Goals, Challenges, Expectations
Pokey started this up last month in this thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...;vc=1&nt=15 If you haven't posted your results yet, go do it. Everybody wants to know how everyone is going. Since Pokey hasn't done one for August, I thought I would start one up... <font color="blue"> Goals: </font> targets you are not certain you can achieve, but that you would like to conquer. Think of these as an aggressive self-motivating target. Examples: 1. "win 12 PTBB/100" 2. "play 2500 hands per day" 3. "win $2500" 4. "play 20 hours per week" 5. "move up permanently to $50NL" 6. "increase my bankroll to 35 buyins" 7. "move up to six-tabling" 8. "post one hand per day" 9. "reply to 10 threads per day" 10. "reread NLHTAP, TOP, HOH1, and Psych of Poker" <font color="blue"> Challenges: </font> a smaller version of a goal, a challenge is a difficult-but-achievable minor target. Examples: 1. "get 10 hands into one weekend happy thread" 2. "build a 5 buyin stack at a table" 3. "take a shot at $100NL" 4. "win money in an MTT" 5. "get stacked without tilting" 6. "win a buyin at a 2+2 table" 7. "have a +6 buyin day" 8. "make at least one note on everybody at each of my tables one night" 9. "play one night without yelling at a fish" 10. "compliment someone who sucked out on me" <font color="blue"> Expectations: </font> these are things you reasonably expect will happen during the month. They should be less aggressive than goals/challenges, and by the end of the month you should be able to look back and say "yup, I accomplished that." Examples: 1. "win 6 PTBB/100 for the month" 2. "make 10 new notes per night" 3. "play 15,000 hands" 4. "increase my bankroll by 10 buyins, after paying myself" 5. "take shots at $50NL until I succeed" 6. "play 2000 hands of full ring" 7. "review my sessions each evening and post hands that I misplayed" 8. "stop surfing the internet while I play" 9. "quit when I start tilting" 10. "bluff less on the river when my draw misses" So: what are your personal goals, challenges, and expectations for the coming month of August? |

Challenges: - Study Harrington on Hold'Em, all volumes. - Study Super System. - Grunch 5-25NL posts, even when I'm not sure about the answer. Expectations: - Respond to all 5-25NL posts I have a clear answer to. - Get sucked out on many times. Dish out very few bad beats. |
