Very nice graph.

16% at the 10's is probably higher than you can sustain, but enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Yeah 10% is my goal for the month which I think is a realistic target. I'm running into AA left and right now but still running hot and even my EV line is in the black so that's always a good sign

8) Celebrate our dominance with the rest of my CC team, right Debi?

AMEN!

<<< On this team also

May we ask why??

10% is a pretty solid goal for any serious amount of volume at the 10's.

Good luck.

Shipped teh 25 buy in downswings late last year into early this year and I tilted out of my mind.

 

[Velutha]

I just started playing SNGs regularly at the beginning of December. $2 HU mostly with some others mixed in for fun.

January Goals:

1) Play 100 SNGs
2) Avoid Playing in the HyperTurbo HU when I'm Tilted (as this is the only time I'm dumb enough to think these are profitable)
3) Read Moshman's Book (Thanks Santa Claus!)
4) Participate in this thread (I think that will help me stay focused).
5) Play more of the 8 man Shoot Outs.

 

[Velutha]

PS: 7) OMG Just discovered there's going to be a Cards Chat HU Tourney on the 16th! This should be tons of fun!

Blah.

Not gonna meet my January goals. Due to medical issues, I am going to have to pull the majority of my BR to pay deductables and medical costs. I'll try to get back into the game through freerolls and cc events, but other than that i'm done for a lil while

Sorry to hear that - but you can still meet some of your goals. Increase your study time til you can get back to playing.

 

[DaveE]

January goals...

1. Study and get a really firm grasp of ICM (been making some poor decisions lately)

2. Get my BR up to $250+

3. Start 2 or 3 tabling

4. Start playing much more often, not just when I've had a few beers

5. Help my team to win the CC league

Yeah, I will meet my study and forum goals, but I won't make my game play goals, and those goals have been put on hold until everything either clears up or I win the lottery. Anyone who wants to send winning lottery tickets, PM me for details. LOL.

 

[OzExorcist]

Having a pretty good start to the month: 43 games in (which hopefully means I'll cream my number of games target for the month) and I'm +$35.35

Graph below:

 

[ph_il]

I'm looking to rebuild a BR this year and decided to stick with what I started out with and what I think I do best in: 9-seat SNGs. I may play a few tournaments here and there and some cash games on the side, but for this month and the next few months I want to play as many SNGs as I can.

I'll be starting from the ground at $1+.20 SNGs on stars and working my way up. I know the rake is going to kill me, but hopefully I wont be there long. Since I'll be going to school I dont know how many SNGs I'm going to get in this month. Hopefully more than 50.

 

[OzExorcist]

Woo, philthy's back! You'll be crushing the STTs in no time, best of luck mate

 

[AceZWylD]

Ugg...Eff it. I left $23 in my account. I decided I would make a run at Liveone's $23-5000 in 91 days. If anyone needs the money right now, it would be me. So, i'll take a longshot now rather than pull the plug on everything and have no shot.

 

[ph_il]

Small change: I'll be playing on FTP.

 

[Velutha]

Treading water early on this month...18 HU SNGs played (mix of $1, $2 and $5) and up $7.82 only.


Had a pretty sweet flop earlier tonight:

[Errant Dog]

A little late to make goals, but I've been kinda busy.

1. 500 SNGs/MTTs (470 in Dec.)
2. Keep playing $10 DONs as well as the $6 45p
3. Move up to $12 45p
4. Watch 5-10 cardrunners videos.

 

[gallopingael]

Ugg...Eff it. I left $23 in my account.

You should be able to grind that up to a workable BR at the $1.10 DoN's in no time at all.

Never too late for goals! Good luck this month, I wish I could squeeze 500 games in a month
