Lots of treats this halloween

By jdawg0913 - Oct 31 2009, 02:27 PM

First off, to all the blog readers here on pocketfives, Happy Halloween!!!!!! I hope everyone has a ton of fun this weekend however you celebrate. (also, be safe) For the second consecutive 10 day span, I did not reach my volume goals. Once again, I had a lot of work to do for school, plus the Phillies keep winning (not that I am complaining lol). One of these weeks I will have the time to put in a lot of volume. Despite this lack of play, I had a phenomenal 10 day span! I crushed my profit goal and my stud goals! Here are my results for the last 10 days:

10 day goals: (October 21th – 31th)
Win 20 bb in stud hi lo cash games      Pass (+43 bbs)
Have three consecutive winning sessions of stud hi lo       Pass (3 days)
Win 2 sng mtt        Pass     (1 win and 1 chop heads up)
Get to 12,750 fpps on stars       Fail  (not even close, 10,900)
get to 7,000 ftps on tilt              Fail ( not even close, 4,854)
Play 10 hours of cash                Pass (barely, 10 hours on the dot)
Play 75 sng mtts                        Fail ( 30 sngmtts)
Make $100                                 Pass (+$542, weeeeeeee! lol)
Stakes: .50 -1 stud hi lo, $4-$11 sngmtts (27 man, 45 man, 90 man, 180 man)

As you can see, it was a great week money wise although I didnt reach my volume goals.  Hoefully I can have a repeat performance these next 10 days. I am feeling really optimistic for the future. This was a great confidence boost that I needed to get my head in the right place. Because of my success this week, I am now moving up to 1-2 stud hi lo. I have played this level before withou very much success. Hopefully I can turn it around and continue to move up.
I will also take a shot at a $75 mtt sometime these next 10 days. I play sattys on Sundays and have a formula for how to take shots and how big a shot I can take. Well, after the math, it looks like a $75 mtt shot on Full Tilt. Ill let you know how that works out. In any regard, here are my new 10 day goals…

10 day goals: (November 1st – 10th)
Win 15 bb in stud hi lo cash games   (moving up so I am being conservative)  
Have three consecutive winning sessions of stud hi lo   
Win 3 sng mtt     
Get to 13,000 fpps on stars      
get to 6,000 ftps on tilt        
Play 10 hours of cash      
Play 75 sng mtts      
Make $200    


October goals: (Finished)
Achieve Gold Star on stars    (Fail  Silver)
Achieve Bronze Level Iron Man on tilt   (Fail  did not qualify)
Play in one live tourney    (Fail     I have to make a trip to AC soon)
Win one Nl cash game buyin or 5bb's in a fixed limit game (LIVE)   (Same as above)
Cash out $350 from online   (fail   $315)
Qualify and play in one major tourney online (any $200 tourney)  (qualified but did not play)

November goals: (In Progress)
Achieve Gold Star on stars   
Achieve Bronze Level Iron Man on tilt  
Play in one live tourney   
Win one Nl cash game buyin or 5bb's in a fixed limit game (LIVE)  
Cash out $4000 from online  
Qualify and play in one major tourney online (any $200 tourney) 


Career Goals:(Still going)

Good luck and see you on the felt
