I did a search and Im pretty sure no one has started one yet, so Ill get it going. If someone else already created one, I appologize and this one can be deleted.

Here are mine:

1.) Play poker a little less and focus on schoolwork a little more. School is starting in a few days for me again and I dont want to be spending 2-3 hours a day playing like I did last semester.

2.) Between myself and my roommate playing on my account at Pokerstars I hope to make 60-100 dollars playing 5.50 S&Gs to put my BR at 150-200. If I cant play enough to do that, I will be fine though.

3.) Play golf on the school course atleast 4 or 5 times

4.) Maintain a 3.3 GPA overall

1. Play more poker (at least $150 in buy-ins).
2. Cash in a free roll.
3. Read two poker books.

should be doable.

1. Get up to $500 on PokerStars (at $265)
2. Learn to fold trips or straights when someone obviously has a flush
3. Read 1 Poker Book

1) Read an other book,
2) Win a CC freeroll,
3) Get BR at Stars up to $450,

1. Only play poker when in "A" game mood. This includes not sitting down for a huge tourny at 10 O'clock at night when I got work next day. And not going for "just one more Sit n Go" before bed when I'm actually knackered.

2. Throw away AQ and KQ more often in early position pre-flop, and when the calls and raises are going in when I'm in late to middle position pre-flop.

3. Stop rambling on and using too many words to put my ideas across in the posts at Cardschat because it's got to stop and is totally unacceptable to people who just want a quick read and need to move on. It's also inconsiderate, vacuous and wastes peoples' time and makes me look like a wind-bag who has got nothing else better to do.

1. Keep going with August goals.
2. Post hands for analysis
3. Swallow my pride and beg someone to teach me how to play poker.

1. Continue with FT emphasis to secure bonus.
2. Win the Stormswa Challenge.
3. Place in a freeroll again.
4. Datamine CC goals post to see who to play against.

Crosses pigpen off potential mentor list


;-)

1. Show a profit in all site accounts.(6)
2.Cash in another CC freeroll
3.Cash in at least 3 CC buyins.
4. Read HOH 2, and finish the Little Blue Book.
5. Qualify into a WCOOP event.
6.Keep getting healthier.

here's mine:
1. Triple my bankroll on poker star
2. Don't lose the rest of my money on fulltilt
3. Dominate any home game against friends/enemies
4. Play in a Sunday Million or WCOOP event
5. Knock Pigpen out of a Cardschat freeroll

I haven't posted in the last few, but this month I actually have a goal.

Get comfortable playing at FT, gradually increase my playing time/playing levels and work off as much of the deposit bonus as I can. Since I just started, I have no idea how long finishing it should take me so the goal is a little vague yet.

More Studying, Less Poker!!!!!!

My immdediate goal for Sept. is to cash in tomorrow's $750k guarantee after I was able to get in via $10 sat.

to not deposit 250 again turn it into 500 overnight playing severly out of my BR and then lose it the next day on tilt.
so basically to

depositi 250 and play only 10 max and 10 + 1 tourneys and below. work it up to 500 and then play 25 max and when up to 750 24+2 tourneys prolly wont happen though cause i will deposit and then as always go to 100 max and will get it up to 500 then loose it the next day

(im kinda using this to blow off steam sorry)

1.Make a 100$+ profit on FT
2.Make the final table in freeroll.(just missed final table twice, once in 10th and once in 12th)
3.Read 1 poker book

Play online poker and try to avoid being driven to jump on a knife.

These were my August Goals:

1. not have to make another deposit on Full Tilt (check)

2. get my bankroll up to at least 200, and keep it there. (check)

3. learn more of the math part of poker and incorporate it into my game (check-ish)

4. get better at pushing out trash hands that people love to outdraw me with. (been doing much better with this.)

5. have fun (check check)

so my August goals were (for the most part) completed and im proud of that.

so now for my September goals:

1. Win a MTT

2. Read Harrington's 1st and 2nd book.

3. Finish Zen and the Art of Poker

4. FT 3 more MTTs

5. Get my bankroll up to 500 and keep it there.

1. STOP playing cash games. I get killed in cash games for some reason; always sucked out on.

2. Win an MTT. I've finished in the top 10% in 25% of all the MTTs I've played since July, but my best finish is 4th (3 times).

3. Build my FT bankroll to ~500.

1- Finish my Full Tilt bonus (have another ~$150 I can earn)
2- Play three 2-hour sessions a day
3- Keep my vpip below 20
4- Positive winrate online!
5- Find $500 to save and invest in stocks (Would be great if I could pull that $500 from poker winnings :P)
6- Place in one of the $20 live tourneys I'll be playing each Monday this month
7- Make plans to travel out west this October-ish
8- Get a crew job on a film shooting this Fall

Poker goals:

- Finish reading Harrington Vol II and Caro's Book of Tells
- Get my online bankroll up to $10 (it's at $3.38 right now)
- Make a final table at my Monday night live game
- Improve my pitching, it's been getting a bit sloppy lately

But most importantly, and probably in confilct with the above goals:

- Spend more time with my girlfriend

If I make that one at the expense of any of the first four, I'll be happy

1. Get to $50+ on pokerstars.

get my bodog $127 br to $250 playing 0.05/0.10 and 0.25/0.50 limit

1. Get my FT playmoney over 1/2 mil so I can get at those freerolls.

2. Get ITM in a CC buy in.

Mid-point update:

1. I've read: 'Killer Poker Online' (1 and 2), 'Psychology of Poker', 'The Badass Girl's Guide to Poker' (seriously, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it except as a novelty -- ymmv)

2. Reading through all 3 Harrington's now. And working the workbook.

3. Asked for help. That was a biggie and I can't believe how motivated to improve I've become. Still have discipline issues because I'm a hard-headed bad-word so I'm still my biggest nemesis. Going to use #4 to try to change that. So...

4. For the rest of September I'm only going to play CC games. And probably extend that through next month as well. Got to kill my inner action-junkie. Die inner action-junkie! Die!

Got the 1/2 million part taken care of. Researching at FT I only find a 500K playmoney buyin that has a $40.00 prize pool. This may be what I was misthinking about, but doubtful it will be something I will enter. I like the 10K PM tables, and rather than blowing my wad on that 500K tourney, I would rather work on getting 1 million PM, then when that rises to 20 mil, I could think about the 500K.

Since this is the Last day of September...

• Remove the words "zomg rigged" from my repertoire
• forget about even attempting to go PRO
• realize that someone WILL always 'suck-out' on the river
• Understand that A-K suited is NOT a made hand
• Think about Poker more than Playing it
• and write LONGER posts in my own little corner of CardsChat so that no one has to bother skipping my posts all together and for those who want to reach Poker Nirvana, in some strange Utopia in Mind.

~And plead with pigpen02 to become my 'Mentor'~
~Request vanquish...~Creator of the Earth~....
and Aloevera to 'Stake' my $0.10 Micro Tourney at PokerStars......."REPLY from them..a resounding "~~~

- Oops: probably should have added 'and keep it there' to this one!
- Success!

And, most importantly

- Success, though there's always more to do
