August Goals Review

Every month, each of us will post a quick review of our goals from the previous month. I think this group helped improve our games a lot, but we're still working out ways to study as agroup more effectively.

LuckySOB: I think I neglected my goals this month. I did play more 200NL than I ever had, (over 30K hands), and I did win. The sad thing is, I also put in about 15K hands of 100NL and lost. With rakeback, bonuses, and my 200NL winnings exceeding my 100NL loss plus some 400NL winnings, (followed a few 200NL donks up and beat them), I was able to have +3500 month in BR putting me just over 9K. But I only took 1 day off, and didn't learn one new thing everyday.

Noeledge: 25-30hrs poker per week, I failed miserably at this with my biggest week in hours consisting of 18.5hrs. Trust in my reads, I feel this will be a never ending battle as we play the game of poker. This month I have become comfortable going with what I perceive to be villains range and playing accordingly. I feel I improved in this area. Advance my analysis of villains range(take notes on all villains), I slacked off on the notes but my hand range analysis is improving. Give UF2B everything I got and then some; In this area I know I was a major slacker. We all have lives and sometimes it is hard to make time for the crew. I think as the months come and go we will begin to get a good feel of the workings and dynamics of the crew. Until then I imagine it will be slow going. Write one theory piece a week, Try one a month. This is something I definitely will be improving on and have already wrote a piece this month on my new poker blog.

Dice: I did not accomplish my goals for August. This month I will have much more time to devote to poker.

DWarrior: I think overall this month was one of the best for me, both money- and improvement-wise. I managed to successfully move up to 100nl ahead of schedule, and changed my approach to the game. Unfortunately, I didn’t provide enough value to UF2B, and didn’t put enough hours at the tables.

DODGYKEN:I hit 40k hands fairly easily. I am now a winner at the $200s, although not at my desired winrate yet. I'm constantly working on ranges, and this is a target for September too.

Note: these have been sitting in my inbox for 2 weeks, but I kept forgetting to turn them into a post. Just pretend they were posted at the beginning of September. - DWarrior
