What happened to our cash game chat and players!??! Seems like this forum has died a little lately, but let's try and change that...

I'll start off by posting my meager poker goals, and actually evaluate them in November...

-Play 3,000 hands (this is probably a session's worth of hands for some of you freaks)
-Read at least half of NL Theory and Practice
-Post my stats for 6max here.
-Withdrawal my funds from FullTilt and make the switch back to pokerstars.

I wanted to set some modest goals that I could actually complete. Soooo here's to the best month everrrr!!!!!!!!!

At 25nl, any idea what range Villain has if he's 150bb's deep and open raises 8x o 12x bb?

Pretty sure I need to find a game and just stick with it. I started out playing 2NL, worked up to 25NL, got bored.

Then I started playing .25/.50 Limit, worked up to 1/2 limit. Got bored with that.

Started playing MTT's and didn't run to well so the bankroll took a hit. So now I'm back to playing 10NL with 37 Buy ins.

Any other details? Position, stats, does everyone else have 150bb's as well?

No real specifics, it was just weird, saw this on several tables from different 150 - 250 bb deepstacks. They all had high vpip's over small samples, but I expect that from deepstacks over small samples. If I remember right, nobody else at these tables were deep.

Posted this in the rocktober chat thread, thought id add it here:

so, after a week of some nice finishes in some micro-buy-in mtts, I find I'm rolled for 25NL, and can take shots at 50NL.
Problem is, I've only just started grinding cash for the last month(for the take 2 bonus) so have only been playing 5NL FR. My last 3 sessions at 5NL(4-tabling) have all been winning ones, and over the month I'm up 5BI+
I would like to continue moving up the levels, playing mtts when I have the time, and ring when I havent got much time.
My question is, what stake should I move up to from 5NL? What level is 5NL similiar to?

thanks TB, yeah, spoke to a few people, this seems to be the general consensus,Im in no hurry to go directly to 50NL, guess I'll just continue to learn at 10NL, and still play mainly mtts.
thanks again.

Last month was my best and worst at the same time. Made $200 in bonuses, but only $30 in actual playing profits.

I guess my goals for October are to figure out how to win consistently at 10nl on Stars, and to use my Take 2 promo bonus from FT and apply the Kelly Criterion formula to more quickly grow my bankroll there.

No volume goals this month.

My goal is just to make $100.00.. very low, but I mostly play freerolls with 2700 people and $1 + 0.20 SNGs (ex $1+.25).
On October 1st I got $25.00 for playing in September; since I lost all my cash in a second half of Septemeber I wasn't able to play ring games anymore and make $50.00.
Today is October 4th and after a few SNGs and HUs my FT bankroll is $45.05.

Nice work Lem!


My goals:
-to be confident and hopefully winning at 10NL FR (technically Im rolled for taking shots at 50NL but Im new to ring)
-to win more than $200 in a single mtt(I only play up to $3 buy-ins at mo)
-to win a satty and actually use it. I've won quite a few and always cashed them to build br.
-to put some kinda volume in at ring, not sure how much though yet!
to reread HOH 1/2/3 and maybe Harrington on ring
-to watch some strategy videos and take it in.


There, not to much to do!:eek: :eek: :eek:
GL all............

I've set a few goals for myself for this month.

1. Consistently perform well at .25/.50 limit Stud Hi, then work my way to .50/1. I don't like to set volume goals, as my time can be limited and rushing hands is bad for me.
2. Get my bankroll on FT to $100. I was close after Take 2, but lost quite a bit playing over my head at NLHU. Playing a solid limit game should get me there with less variance.
3. Play in a few MTTs and perform well. I haven't played these nearly enough, and I know I can do well. I will keep the buy-ins at no more than $5 or 6 depending on the structure.

Good luck to everyone else at their goals.
