Sept 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.

DODGYKEN: I did manage to sustain 4BB/100 but over only 30k hands of $200NL instead of 40k. I was happy with this though and I'll be playing a mix of $400NL and $200NL in October. My work on hand ranges has really come on well I think, and it's making playing hands easier as I keep getting better at it. It's also helped to make the transition from $200NL to $400NL smoother than the last time I moved up limits.


DWarrior: September was a huge disappointment. I played only 20k hands, didn't do nearly the amount of studying I wanted, and ended up -1bb/100 for the month after losing 7 buyins over the last 2 days. I have to move back down to 50nl as a result and pick up.

Noeledge: September is behind me but I learned a valuable lessonand had a rough time of it at the tables. I could hidethe results and make like it never happened but then Iwould not be able to learn and grow. There is a sayingI have heard before about failures and it goessomething like, "there is no such thing but rathereach failure is only a failure if you fail to learnfrom it." With that said I have been doing someserious thinking and feel I have learned from thispast month and will be taking October on with a freshattitude and state of mind.Even though it appears I got my ass kicked and lost ashit load of money in reality I actually did profitfrom poker in Sept with live play and rakeback andreload as well as coaching. Not as much as I wouldprefer but everything doesnt always go the way youwant it to.

LuckySOB: September review was way off. I played half the hands I wanted butplayed much more 400nl than I was planning on. I jumped in and didbetter than I expected after having so many rough starts when movingup to 200nl. I didn't post as many hands as I had hoped too, but didspend the amount of time reviewing my and others hands that I hadplanned, and watched at least 2 vids every week. I'm not happy withmy month as far as meeting goals I set, but very happy with themonetary results I had and transition into 400nl.

Dice: September Recap: September did not exactly go as planned. In my tenureat 100nl,I have not had much success. Ive been on a break-even stretch the last 35khands. Results aside, I feel I am growing very quickly as a player. I have agreat support system and I am very appreciative of it. This game can be quitebrutal at times.
