TRB1965's September Goals on Full Tilt

I will have a little less time to play than I had in August. In fact September should be more along the line of a typical month for me. By the end of the month, I should have a fairly good idea of what kind of Ironman status I should be striving for in future months.

1) Ironman One-A-Day – Earn a minimum of one FTP each day to qualify for the Ironman One-A-Day promotion.
2) Take 2 – Earn of minimum one FTP each day for 25 day by double tabling cash games to earn the $50 maximum for the Take 2 promotion.
3) Ironman Bronze – Earn a minimum of 50 FTP a day for 20 days to qualify for Ironman Bronze status.
4) Full Tilt Academy Credits – Get to 8,000 Full Tilt Academy credits.

Note that if I accomplish goal number 3 I will certainly do it at least double-tabling cash games and will accomplish 20 of the 30 days needed for goal number 1 and 20 of the 25 days needed for goal number 3.
Note that if I accomplish goal number 1 by double-tabling cash tables I will accomplish goal number 2 by accomplishing goal number 1.

It's 9 days. I'm really not playing very well right now, so I'm minimizing my play for a day or two or three. I probably will not try for 50 FTP again until the weekend.

I'll lick my wounds, get my 1 FTP for the One-a-Day and Take 2, and regroup for the weekend.

I'm going for that September Ironman One-A-Day, too. The only other goal I have for this month is cashing in one of these MiniFTOPS games.. I'm registered in 5 of them.

September Goals Wrap Up

I apologize for the lack of updates. I had a really nasty sinus infection and really struggled through it. Best advice I can give is to never play when you aren't feeling well. The day-by-day results below illustrate extremely well why that principle should be adhered to.

I’ve decided to go to weekly updates (like I did during Project Freeroll) instead of trying to keep up with daily updates.

I’ll get everything caught up for the end of September in this one and then do weekly and end of Month updates starting with October.
