    With the weather being perfect for grinding at the moment, November should be a big month.

    1) 25K hands at 20nl, be in profit for at least $200

    2) Play live once a week, stop playing while completely off my face.

    Maybe give up poker for awhile.


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


    Going for realistic goals this time:

    1. 15k hands of 25nl with a decent profit. I did 13k in October so this shouldn't be hard.
    2. Play more online MTTs. Pull off a decent result in one of them.
    3. Play live at least four times in November, cash big in one of their donkaments.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 356 ✭✭Mullicker


    1. 5k hands 50nl hu
    2. Play the usual mixed bag of 50-200nl 6max & FR, dont play higher than 200nl unless bumhunting a superfish

    2) 15k hands hopefully getting rolled up for 50NL again.

    3) Get coached and crush 50NL.

    I spent a minute trying to calculate your win rate as if you had won $13k over 15k hands of 25 NL.

    This is the best goal in the thread so far. Good luck with that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 488 ✭✭suilen


    1 - Run good
    2 - Stop dropping down levels when I lose some money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,813 ✭✭✭coillcam


    1. Play more - this is the most important.
    2. Don't go out tonight dressed as a baby for halloween then play while twisted in the Eglinton like last week :(
    3. Run better in €1200 pots
    4. More live tourneys, keep on cashing and winning
    5. Run like Suilen or at least one of his horsies.
    6. Play some live cash when the games are good.
    7. Play more SnG's online when the time allows to build a roll for the new year.
    8. Do not waste poker moneys on stupid vices this month.
    9. Play or qualify for the mini wsop. EDIT: No can do due to work commitments.
    10. Sat into the IPT Galway.

    If you haven't read it, read the Stox LHE book "Winning in tough HE games". Really good book, a bit out of date but likely plenty enough to beat mixed game LHE!

    This month: play 8k hands and no tournaments


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 276 ✭✭blainj2


    Going to Thailand in the middle of the month for 3 weeks so this months goals are a bit general.

    1) Keep improving and beating 100NL

    2) Play some 200NL and run good

    3) Look into getting coaching for when i come back from holidays (Anyone interested PM me please)

    4) Keep going to the Gym/Pool twice a week and keep upping the number of laps in the pool

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 129 ✭✭IrishKestrel


    1) Earn 7,500 VPPS and Reach Platinum Level in Pokerstars (Oct = 3,700 VPPS and Gold Star Level)
    2) Play 1,000 Full-Ring non-Turbo SNGs (October = 260 SNGs, incl. 28 turbo 6-max which killed my ROI)
    3) Increase ROI to at least 3% (Oct ROI = 1.9% excl. 6-Max Turbo)
    4) At least 10 hours on Theory (Boards / 2+2 / Stoxpoker etc.)
    5) Start going to the gym at least 3 times per week

    6) PROFIT TARGET for NOVEMBER = $800 (Oct = $618 due to live cash)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,771 ✭✭✭TommyGunne


    Goal is same as last month: Play less than 5k hands and study more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,648 ✭✭✭bp_me


    1) 150 9 man SNGs. Profit.
    2) Use profit from 1 to move from $1+0.20 to $2+0.25.
    3) try to avoid 15 buy in downswing (again :rolleyes:)

    I don't think I will be playing any live games this month so no live goals. Pretty much giving up on the current BrucePoker league at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,128 ✭✭✭the whole year inn

    Run better.

    Win some tournies.

    Put more work in. Havent been putting in more than 200 hands a day and have promised to do way more.

    Trying to work on a bankroll management project also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭jimbling


    1) Complete the move away from the regfest that is iPoker.
    2) Play 20k hands at 100NL. Run good.
    3) Stop running so ridiculously bad in donkaments. I'm getting oh so tired of wading through a field of 4k players then going out in most disgusting of manners just before the money gets interesting. Please let me have one decent MTT finish this month.

    Is ipoker really that bad for regs? I thought stars and full tilt would be even worse with all the american pros.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,656 ✭✭✭dannydiamond


    The same thing I do every month Pinky,try to take over the world!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Move up to 100NLH/PLO and stay there. Wake up in time to play the Sunday million at least once.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 103 ✭✭pkaces

    1. Maintain 15% ROI on sngs over the next 2k games
    2. Achieve platinum level this month
    3. Continue to abstain from sports betting so I don't have to withdraw from poker roll anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 344 ✭✭FunnyStuff


    1: Take a break from PLO and concentrate more on NLHE
    2: continue to teach idiots that yr A-K off really isnt as great as you think and can be smashed by my 3-4 suited, as per todays lesson
    3: continue steady and move up level at end of the month

    I've made a much more detailed plan, instead of trying to play 3k a day, every day, ive broken down by day of the week. The games are better as the week goes on so it makes sense to structure it the way I have.

    Monday 0
    Tuesday 2000
    Wednesday 3000
    Thursday 3000
    Friday 3000
    Saturday 4000
    Sunday 4000
    Sunday 4000

    If I broach 80k Ill buy myself the lego kit I talked about


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,661 ✭✭✭General Zod


    Getting closer to my goal of winning a live tournament. 3rd place last night (which was won by doke, who wouldn't take my deal! :D)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 SPEED-DEMON


    1. Stop being a tit and getting tangled up in hands i have no business in.

    Thats mine too. I feel obliged to bluff with all over cards on the board. Why oh why!! :(

    I think I have sorted it though.

    For me its to cut out the amount of online tourneys and start playing more cash. I think the return on cash can be much better. For anyone playing low limits go onto PKR.......more fish than the ocean....most think 1 pair is good enough to push with. $$ :D
    Easy money but won't help your game if you move up limits as plays don't work, they dont understand the F word (fold) :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭bubbleking


    play min 15k hands
    beat .5/.10 for at least 8bb/100
    stay in a calm mindset even after taking a bad beat.
    get a job.
    get weight down to 180lb - currently 193lb
    enjoy life
    move up to dublin


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 243 ✭✭Tilt Gone


    1. Qualify for the IPPT in Killarney in Feb ...... One more final table on Tues should do it

    2. Retain my title has King of cards in the monthly tournie with mates. (Very important)

    3. Move up from .25/.50 to .50/1 for the new year.

    4. Stop spending my bankroll on tattoo's :(

    5. Do up the spare bedroom so I can finally play for hours in peace.

    (EDIT): convince missus poker lair is all the rage these days ;)
