** July Poker Goals **

    This is something I've been seeing more and more of on 2+2, at the start of each month a "Goals for the Month" thread appears, people post their intentions and sometimes the odd prop bet pops up.

    i.e. its one thing to say to yourself "I'll play 10k hands this month" and then not bother with it, its another thing altogether if you've posted in a public forum that you'll play 10k hands this month and then fail.

    As a thread it might catch on, it might not, but I'm hoping it will serve as even a small motivator for the following month. With this in mind I'll get the ball rolling.

    1) Play 20k hands between 20nl and 50nl
    2) Show profit after these 20k hands
    3) Cash in a live tournament.

    Last month I played 10k hands and showed a small profit, and final tabled 2 tournaments but failed to cash, so roll on July...!

    Be able to cash out.

    That it all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭chips1234


    like the idea of this thread

    1) get platinum star status on stars
    2) move up to 50nl completely
    3) stop playing omaha for fun when im bored


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 836 ✭✭✭OilBeefHooked2


    Great thread idea imo.
    My goals for July are to play 0 hands and take a break for the month and concentrate on my golf.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭Wreck


    Exams coming up in August so little or no poker in July for me, my goal therefore is to have a horsey cash for a substantial amount at the WSOP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,873 ✭✭✭RichieLawlor


    1. Win Sunday Million
    2. Take profits from above to Sporting Emporium, Make at least 1 million
    3. Take 1 million to Vegas play high stakes dice. Make 5 million+ and Kidnap small chinese guy and bring him home as he was 'lucky charm'
    4. Take 50k of profits to Spearmint Rhino, run amok, pull really hot stripper
    5. Steal Mike Tysons tiger.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭max_power


    profit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭fatguy


    1. Complete bankroll management project. I need to make $330 profit in 64x$6.50 games, with a few 180-mans thrown in. It'll be very tricky without a big score in one of the 180s.

    2. Withdraw and deposit on another site for a deposit bonus.

    3. Start again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Continue retirement...I think I have a pretty good shot...better than most of you chumps anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,079 ✭✭✭smurph


    stop playing like a big girls blouse, with a handbag attached


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 730 ✭✭✭aodea


    1. to play 500 45 man turbos. And show profit.
    2. to get a stake in Luckylloyd cause he runs like god.
    3. Cash in a live tourni.
    4. Slow roll that annoying english guy who plays in the jackpot.
    5. maybe get a job maybe not.

    I've managed to do number 4, only for him to turn over a better hand and for me to suck out for a 350BB pot IIRC. Fun fun fun.


    Goals would probably be

    1. 25k hands
    2. €2.5k online
    3. Cash the devilfish SNG thing.
    4. Play some live cash and make €500
    5. Get past round 2 of the upcoming Father & Son golf matchplay.

    Lol yeah. Halfbaked at the table IIRC. Wasn't overly a slowroll, just a pause to convince myself that I really did have the nuts, and then a call.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭max_power


    Yeah it was pretty funny though, he lost it after.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,163 ✭✭✭Slash/ED


    ~25k hands sounds about right to me. Whatever money comes with that comes with that but the main thing is getting the hands in especially as I probably wont be working much
