***DECEMBER GOALS/ NOVEMBER RESULTS ***

Well November was a bitch, had a fantastic start on the rings, as you can see that faded rapidly, lots of set over set stuff, and some terrible beats. Probably at least a buy-in because of tilt. Not much in the MTT's probably in the region of $500 down over the month. Got Silverstar vip level on Stars, got an nice 80Gb I-Pod from the stars store.

December goals
- Play 10,000 hands on nl$100 profitably
- Final table an MTT.
- Play the Sunday Million on Stars at least once.
- Post more on the forum.
- Re-read the HoH series.

Well, the display information is nicely framed by the arch, if that's any consolation.

I'm sure it's not .
Better luck in December TB!

Okay, here are my goals for the month of December.

• Increase my bankroll to in excess of $500.
• Play at least 10,000 limit ring game hands (profitably of course).
• Learn something new, and be able to demonstrate it’s successful implementation within this forum (now that’s a real challenge for me)!
• Increase my PFR to 7% (it’s presently just over 5.38, which is too low).
• Make a useful contribution to the CC community.

There's also something involving strawberry ice cream and Sandra Bullock, but I guess that's for a rather different forum

Frankenstein, ice cream and Mrs Congeniality. I love how kinky this forum is.

mine:
-Achieve silver/gold VIP status on stars for the perks et al. I'm short like 100fpps this month for silver and am too lazy to finish it up.
-Really use my stoxpoker subscription and start studying the game more
-Get some damn discipline and play rings profitably
-Win the lottery
-Play a more balanced range of games

omg play like an hour of 1/2 6max limit

Anyways:

• Stars BR > $200
• FT 5 MTTs
• Finish NLTAP
• Bubble a CC event
• Silverstar on Stars (unlikely )

I haven't had any November goals, but I guess I've got a few for December.

-> At least triple my current bankroll
-> Final table a big MTT
-> Achieve Walk of Fame status on Hollywood

Well my official November goal was 500 by Thanksgiving break, but just tonight I hit my goal, screenshot below

Goals by the new year:

- keep doing what I'm doing, not too many HUs, MTTs, SNGs, or CC real money events. Play straight ring games at $0.10/$0.25

- hit $1,000 by the end of the month

- Become a pokerstars silver star (this is the easiest one, just means I've gotta play as much as I have the last few months at 10/25c)

The first one is just discipline, and as mentioned the 3rd is just playing hands. The second one will be the toughest, but I think it's possible.
Hopefully by the new year I can start playing at 25/50c with a 1k roll and start making some real money (although if I can meet my goal an average of 6k a year isn't horrible for a hobby on the side )

1) get my BR up to $100.00 from the amount below
2) Earn enough PP to enter the freeroll
3) Earn money in at least 4 more freerolls
4) Win something live

1) show a profit.

Yip November wasn't great. I was off to a great start but ended up banking $17 for the month over 3400 hands.

Now that exams are over I can get into a serious month of poker. Goals are:

Play 5000 hands
Try and make Silver on Stars. That iPod is the goal.
Manage/monitor my frame of mind while I play or decide not to play if that's the case.

November showed an improvement (finally) in what has been a slowish year, just $500-600 a month but broke $700 in November thanks to a good run of tourney placings.

Goals - Improve more, secure more ITM placings, make more time to read up on recent poker literature.

I'm now up for the 3rd consecutive month (since I play more ring games)

But definitely November has been good for me as I show more than 500$ profit.
Shouldn't have this very bad start of month (I suck at Omaha PL Ring games it is now official ), I will probably have made much more this month.

That last week have been amazing as I've made more than 2200 $ on playing only Holdem ring games ( both Limit and NL).

I've also succeed in being a Gold VIP on the site I play.

So now that i know what i need to do and in order to verify that this last week wasn't just a rush here is my goals for december :

1) Play almost only limit Holdem ring games as in November (multitabling at 2/4 or 3/6 maybe)
2) Give a shot on NL games only on one tabling (have tried mutlitabling and even on small blinds that doesn't work well for me )
3) Try to work on a weak point i found on my game : not being able to quit a table when things gone wrong thinking there is always a possibility to get back to even (yeah i know that's silly ). So no more "this hand is the good one" when - 30BB at the table for me.
4) At least retain my Gold VIP status (platinium one would be hard to achieve I think ). If I do so, I'll probably be able to win a Nintendo WII on a side promotion at the end of December. Hmmm Nice christmas present
5) Be more active on the forum with HH and reply to HA : I think that's the most difficult point for me as I'm always afraid that my english would not be good enough for people to understand clearly what i mean.
But that is Ok if someone doesn't understand or understand wrongly I'm always able to repeat


Think that's all for december goals...

Get better at grinding tourneys...I'm already pretty good at that, but I need to improve my tourney game a bit there...gain some chips instead of hold on to what I got.

My goal are fairly simply:

- Reread HoH
- Net profit of at least $750.
- Improve my heads up winning %.
- Finish in the money on a MTT

goals:

- run 50% at coinfrips (plz)
- final table a donkament
- play more 200NL 6max than i've been (which won't be hard cause i'm a lazy bum)
- hit a flush draw
- win a CC event

simple - just come play vs me.

Avoid tilt.
Continue good bankroll management.
Continue to play all games (NLHE, Stud hi-low, PLO, O8B, Razz, HORSE) in both ring and tournament formats and play them well.
Enjoy the games.
Don't play when tired/late hours. One of my biggest leaks.
Think about each decision carefully.

ok my real goals:
1) Win a MTT SNG or Regualr MTT
2) Show profit at the STT SNGs
3) Increase bankroll (current: $74) to >$200
4) Play less poker, work harder for school.

How I did:

November goals are easy:
1. continue my October upswing wash
2.show a profit again up $74, so wash
3.continue growing my poker library on pdf files, so I can continue to readJACKPOT*

*Thanks to some help from the kind souls here at Cardschat.

For December:
1. Show a profit again.
2. Catch up on my reading, I want to start and finish at least 4 poker books this month.
3. Play more 6maz FL.
4. Have a safe, healthy happy Holiday w/ my family.:icon_sant

Monthly pipedream. Crack the top 1k in TLB points at PS.

Tick off number 4 just won £80 in the £30 freezeout at my local casino, finished 8th out of 100.

I feel so micro compared to all of you guys... try not to laugh at my goals.

But actually, November was pretty good to me. Both my FullTilt and PokerStars bankrolls have a positive cash balance (both less than a buck - LOL) from a zero start.

Since I placed ITM in a Poker Starts donkfest, I've placed in three out of six micros ($.10 $.25 and $.50 buy-ins) I know, they have a pretty broad payouts - but hey it's better than losing it all.

December goals:
1 - Maintain a positive balance and practice good bankroll management
(i.e. don't enter a $1 tournament with only $1.25 in the bankroll)
2 - Place ITM in at least one CC freeroll.
3 - Place ITM in at least one HORSE freeroll (got deep in several tourneys in November)
4 - Play less donkaments like PAD and Aussie. Focus on more realistic stuff like RR and CC freerolls.
