Results for November
1-Continue to show a profit from playing online (don't care how much profit, so long as it's profit). Partially achieved - lost money online, but profitted enough in live games to still show a profit.
2-Finish in the money in a multi-table tourney with more than 45 entrants. Achieved - but only barely.
3-Not fight with boyfriend about poker - Not even close.
December goals - Well I'm not playing much this month due to the holidays so I'll just try goal number 3 from last month again. I mean surely if we're not playing poker we won't be fighting over it...

December:
1. Win at least three more cc games. This will be tough, especially if I have to miss any due to holidays/parties/family/etc.
2. Win Quarterly Championships (and POY).
3. Finish the two poker books I have started. Had to put in one I have total control over success or not .
Hate to make those "outside of my real control" goals, but....

I feel so micro compared to all of you guys... try not to laugh at my goals.
But actually, November was pretty good to me. Both my FullTilt and PokerStars bankrolls have a positive cash balance (both less than a buck - LOL) from a zero start.
Since I placed ITM in a Poker Starts donkfest, I've placed in three out of six micros ($.10 $.25 and $.50 buy-ins) I know, they have a pretty broad payouts - but hey it's better than losing it all.
December goals:
1 - Maintain a positive balance and practice good bankroll management
(i.e. don't enter a $1 tournament with only $1.25 in the bankroll)
2 - Place ITM in at least one CC freeroll.
3 - Place ITM in at least one HORSE freeroll (got deep in several tourneys in November)
4 - Play less donkaments like PAD and Aussie. Focus on more realistic stuff like RR and CC freerolls.

2. Catch up on my reading, I want to start and finish at least 4 poker books this month.
3. Play more 6maz FL.

Avoid tilt.
Continue good bankroll management.
Continue to play all games (NLHE, Stud hi-low, PLO, O8B, Razz, HORSE) in both ring and tournament formats and play them well.
Enjoy the games.
Don't play when tired/late hours. One of my biggest leaks.
Think about each decision carefully.

Get better at grinding tourneys...I'm already pretty good at that, but I need to improve my tourney game a bit there...gain some chips instead of hold on to what I got.

I'm now up for the 3rd consecutive month (since I play more ring games)
But definitely November has been good for me as I show more than 500$ profit.
Shouldn't have this ery bad start of month (I suck at Omaha PL Ring games it is now official ), I will probably have made much more this month.
That last week have been amazing as I've made more than 2200 $ on playing only Holdem ring games ( both Limit and NL).
I've also succeed in being a Gold VIP on the site I play.
So now that i know what i need to do and in order to erify that this last week wasn't just a rush here is my goals for december :
1) Play almost only limit Holdem ring games as in November (multitabling at 2/4 or 3/6 maybe)
2) Give a shot on NL games only on one tabling (have tried mutlitabling and even on small blinds that doesn't work well for me )
3) Try to work on a weak point i found on my game : not being able to quit a table when things gone wrong thinking there is always a po... | | Read Entire Entry |

November showed an improvement (finally) in what has been a slowish year, just $500-600 a month but broke $700 in November thanks to a good run of tourney placings.
Goals - Improve more, secure more ITM placings, make more time to read up on recent poker literature.

Yip November wasn't great. I was off to a great start but ended up banking $17 for the month over 3400 hands.
Now that exams are over I can get into a serious month of poker. Goals are:
Play 5000 hands
Try and make Silver on Stars. That iPod is the goal.
Manage/monitor my frame of mind while I play or decide not to play if that's the case.

Well my official November goal was 500 by Thanksgiving break, but just tonight I hit my goal, screenshot below
Goals by the new year:
- keep doing what I'm doing, not too many HUs, MTTs, SNGs, or CC real money events. Play straight ring games at $0.10/$0.25
- hit $1,000 by the end of the month
- Become a pokerstars silver star (this is the easiest one, just means I've gotta play as much as I have the last few months at 10/25c)
The first one is just discipline, and as mentioned the 3rd is just playing hands. The second one will be the toughest, but I think it's possible.
Hopefully by the new year I can start playing at 25/50c with a 1k roll and start making some real money (although if I can meet my goal an average of 6k a year isn't horrible for a hobby on the side )

-> At least triple my current bankroll
-> Final table a big MTT
-> Achieve Walk of Fame status on Hollywood

Okay, here are my goals for the month of December.
Increase my bankroll to in excess of $500.Play at least 10,000 limit ring game hands (profitably of course).Learn something new, and be able to demonstrate it’s successful implementation within this forum (now that’s a real challenge for me)!Increase my PFR to 7% (it’s presently just over 5.38, which is too low).Make a useful contribution to the CC community.There's also something involving strawberry ice cream and Sandra Bullock, but I guess that's for a rather different forum

Well November was a bitch, had a fantastic start on the rings, as you can see that faded rapidly, lots of set over set stuff, and some terrible beats. Probably at least a buy-in because of tilt. Not much in the MTT's probably in the region of $500 down over the month. Got Silverstar ip level on Stars, got an nice 80Gb I-Pod from the stars store.
December goals
- Play 10,000 hands on nl$100 profitably
- Final table an MTT.
- Play the Sunday Million on Stars at least once.
- Post more on the forum.
- Re-read the HoH series.
