I haven't really posted goals in the past, but I rcently decided that I need goals to keep myself from being all over the map, poker-wise, so here we go.

1. Play a minimum of 50 $50+5 SNGs on 'Stars with a +ROI
2. Play a minimum of 10 MTTs and be profitable
3. Win a seat to the ME of the Foxwoods Poker Classic

Not really sure what goals I have for cash games. I'll most likely keep playing a decent amount of PLO and some 6-max NLHE, but may drop back to $50 in both so I can learn a bit more cheaply. I've become convinced that making money at LHE online, while doable, has a very thin margin, so I may confine my limit cash game play to Stud/8 and HORSE 2/4 -3/6 level.

Crappy month despite the fact that cash games were slightly profitable. I was, however, happy with my MTT performance. I went deep in 3 2,500+ runner rebuys. I'm confident I can win one of those. Otherwise, limit HORSE and NLHE look like the best bets for cash games. PLO is too swingy.

Yeah, now I know I'm getting old. Back in the day I could've hit that goal in a week without breaking a sweat. Now I doubt I'll make it in a year.

First and foremost, find a way to alleviate Lady Variance's grasp on my testes.

Small goal of hitting and hopefully sustaining last month's goal: reaching 1 Grand. I'm currently sitting at $750, after 1 withdraw of $100 to start a small live roll.

Try to figure out why I can crush the $25NL game but am havi8ng issues everytime I step up to $50.

I see I never posted goals in this thread. The way I've been running lately, I guess it's a good thing.

Here are my rest of the month goals:
1. Play better poker:
-Fold TPTK when I know that donkey flopped a set on me
-LEAVE bad tables when I'm getting crushed, even if my opponents are idiots.
-Start cutting losing sessions shorter and extending winning sessions (within reason).

2. Get back in the green for the month.

3. Make at least one video.

OK, my month is over. Let's see how I did with my goals.

To be perfectly honest with you, I'm just glad February is over. I ran really good a couple of times (they are obvious on the graph) and bad a lot. I played badly more than I would have liked too though... At least I finished in the green, even though it came down to the wire.
