- Play 300 SNGs. If/when I get comfortable 8-tabling, move back to the $15s and 8-table them.

Played ~100 so far

- Play at least a dozen big MTTs (this may not seem like much but I can only really invest the time in these on Saturdays)

Probably not gonna do this - too busy with vids etc and I'm enjoying 8-tabling donkngos too much

- Finish reading NLHE: TAP

Within the week

- Start reading through HoH3 properly (I've only really skim-read it before)

After NLHE: TAP

- Complete a "What to look for in PokerTracker" article (if Chuck isn't already planning to write one).

0% progress \o/

- Do the two CC upturned holecards donkament vids (as long as meeshman gets me the HHs )

One done, second one hasn't been played yet 'cos of Stars screwing up last weekend.

message too short unless i post something outside quote

I don't know, I think maybe I should set a goal of playing in at least a dozen or so cash SNGs, since that's where my game needs work. Maybe what I need first is to make a goal of finding a way to play online in real cash games!

I usually think in terms of goals for the year as months go up and down, but I'll go for;

- 25% in the money in MTTs with at least three final tables (1 already! )
- in profit in $55 SnGs
- get in the top 250 on Party in the officialpokerrankings (I am vain)
- play in the 300k on Sundays at Party
- win it

$2000+ profit for the month.

- Do something useful/different with my blog or website.

Well your last goal was to play all MTT during february, nice job!

My goal is not to play at all.

i never actually said that without the use of the word "might" in the sentence.

I usually think in terms of goals for the year as months go up and down

yeah, "make $xxxx" type goals aren't really what I'm thinking of here considering they're subject to the evils of variance.

• To read either "Small Stakes Hold 'em" by Miller, Slansky and Malmuth or "Harrington on Holdem" - any tips on which? (Have them both and can read while on plane)
• To get Pokerace or PAhud and figure out how to use them with PT effectively
• To leave a $50NL table with more money than Tenbob at least twice

Absolutely, can't see the harm in having $ targets for the month, providing it doesn't result in chasing. I'm creeping up the buy-ins at the moment so am paying very close attention to my roll so it can't hurt.

-To finish my goal of making $1000 profit on $50 NL so i can move up to $100 permanently.

-To win the 14K GTD on Full Tilt

- Not to let Dakota leave with more money than me twice

- To get back my VIP status on Stars

To play and win a live Sng tourney downtown....

- Play the 45 player sit n gos on Full Tilt and track my results.
- Bluff more.

I've got a new one that I can specifically tie to the month:

1) Earn at least 100 FPP points at Stars. I want to collect my First Deposit Bonus but it won't happen if I don't play there.

Related to that:

2) Try to do 1) without losing my entire deposit

-Play 50 $15 STTs on Stars
-Reread HoH vol 1
-Prepare huge drunken night for best friend returning from Thailand after ~1 year being gone
-Get a job

:/

I'll come up with better poker goals when I think of em...

1. Keep my platinum level at Stars.
2. Get the $650 bonus for 50k points, also at Stars.
3. Play in the Stars $100k gold level freeroll, and not suck.
4. Play 5k hands of $100NL at Party.
5. Run hotter than the sun.

My goal is to get $100 on Stars playing mainly the $1.20 45 SnG's. I'm starting the month at $8

1) Try to figure out what the hell is wrong with my middle part of play in MTT.

2) Play higher stake SNGs. I do pretty good at the lower ones. It's time to move up.

3) Play the nightly 100,000 at Stars and win it.

work out what all those numbers mean in pokertracker

[actually] Study the more notable hands I'm in this month.

Read HoH1.

Satty my way into the higher buy-in WSOP Satellites.

Satty into the sunday million.

Get good at 6 tabling $50 NLHE

joose whatever happened with you goin to LV?

turned out i didnt get kicked out of the apt afterall. when our lease is up at the end of march im going to decide what to do. i feel like i'm at least a mildly strong player, but i also feel like most players are deulsional as to how strong they are. this makes me wonder if i'm delusional, although i feel im pretty modest about my play, mostly. im looking to figure out an honest assessment of my skill (by the end of march) before i decide if i'm going or not.

My most specific goal is to final table another large (800+ entrants) MTT this month

1. Read through NL TAP.
2. Learn to apply what I'm learning in 1 to my game.
3. Play focussed sessions that are played correctly rather than riding my bankroll fluctuations. I must say I'm much better at this already but I am still a bit too stats focussed.
4. Take a few shots at 50NL.

This is probably the soundest attitude about taking this kind of shot I've ever seen.

i appreciate that. i'm pretty level headed about almost all things in life, although i know my image here doesnt quite depict it. hopefully i can have a better understanding of PT by the end of march, and then i can go through and figure out what things im weak on and can improve on. if vegas on any random day is like st louis on big tourist weekends (like mardi gras, 4th of july, etc) then i don't feel like i'd have a problem just because of the mass amount of dead money. but i'm looking for more than that to give up my options here in st louis. as many of you know, i'm midway through founding a non profit organization, and i'd have to be pretty stedfast about going to put that on hold.

That is a very self-aware assessment of your game. What kind of objective input can you get? Dr Schoonmaker (spelling?) recommends getting a good deal of objective opinions about your game to improve. Do you have mates who play or can you find guys on this forum to critique for you?

well i'd want volunteers. i wouldnt want to burden anyone, but if it came down to it i could beg a few people here to im sure.

The only one I'm willing to comply with DM is play at least a dozen MTT's I'll let you know how it goes.

whats 'NL TAP?' I'm assuming its a book.
