September Thread:Goals, Winrates, Updates

Reel Deal · #1 09-01-06, 04:28 PM

I will be taking the month of September off from on-line poker, the string of bad beats and bad luck at the end of August has really soured me on poker and I think time away will be good... time to get back into an exercise routine and spend time watching some football with my two boys!

I failed miserably at the last goal, but August went by way too fast, and I probably didn't even get 1000 hands in. Then again, I like to single table, or double at max...so for this month:

1. Qualify for at least one NL WCOOP event
2. triple my bankroll (including a steelers win! so essentially make $1k) so get it to 3k
3. move up to 200NL by the end of the month
4. Stay at bodog!!

I hit my bankroll mark for moving up to 5/10 NL, too bad my favorite site (Bodog) only spreads full rings tables above 3/6 (which I hate). I'll likely just stay at the 6max 3/6 NL at Bodog since it's basically a license to print money, and dabble playing 5/10 NL at Party and UB. So goals for this month,

1. pay back TP and RD (done)
2. Get a bankroll back online, enough to go back to the $2/$4 NL 6MAX i was on last year, not $3/$6 had too much time off.
3. Qualify for one of the WCOOP NLHE games, and be awake for long enough to play it.
4. Finish buying the Harrington Series, and read vol2 and 3, and re-read vol1.
5. Finish off the website im doing.

Easy goals, if i put enough time and effort into #3 and #2.

I've got too much university stuff this month to play a lot of cards. I'll set my goal at 10k for the month. Trying more 2/4NL and 3/6NL... probably won't play any lhe.

Hands? Or Dollars?

sjay2k · #7 09-01-06, 11:15 PM

I meant dollars, but 10k hands would be good to reach too.

This month started off with me thinking I was God's gift to poker starting off with a nice little 8K in the first four days, basically continuing how hot I was running from August. Then, I broke even for the next twenty days or so which was disapointing. I don't think I can blame it on variance, I was just playing badly. The last five days I finally started to win again. The total winnings from poker for September is $16K.

1. Turned out to be a little frustrating, probably dropped $100 for the ME, and 1500 FPP for one of the earlier NL events...oh well, I tried.
2. looking at a couple hundred short here, I was slow at the beginning of the month, but up 1700 in last 2 days... edit: thanks for the bonus pokerstars! Goal = met.
3. I moved up too soon bankroll wise, but for some reason my moves and reads are much better here.
4. Fuck that! I was sliding there...maybe I will go back for 200NL, but 100 became a headache.
