Costanza's poker goal thread

Well, I figure it's time for me to actually lay out some goals for myself to keep me motivated and to establish a plan, and to stick with it.

I'm moving up to mid stake mtt's (33$-11$) and have some pretty high hopes, but I'm hoping these goals are attainable

Goals:

1) profit 30K+ for the year aside from my job (nice little side income)
2) play as much live as I can (mtt's)
3) Achieve supernova (im on somewhat of a good pace from playing such low buyin's with about 35K hands of cash, so with me moving up so should my VPP rate)
4) Run really well and final table in a SCOOP or WCOOP
5) Get my cash game together (I really really enjoy zoom)

These goals might seem a bit high to some, but I shoot for the stars lol, im a very competitive person, and poker is what I love doing most in this world.

Thanks.

  • Sounds ridiculously ambitious but gl... keep in mind that a large % of your winnings to date are your one bink, just be realistic.. I don't like crash and burn endings...

    So when you going to start playing live?

  • i dont mean to sound conceited or over confident or anything, hope it doesnt come across that way :-\
  • Good luck costanza. I hope you do well.
  • Honestly, I think you've done a good job of not sounding conceited. Well done!

    Also, best of luck! Always good to see people kick ass :)

    Unless they play for the Philadelphia Flyers. Then I hope they crash and burn.

    Into a gas station.

    Which also sells barbed wire for some reason.

    And exploding porcupines.
  • **edited post***

    graphs I posted look fucked, there's somthing wrong lol

    i was trying to do my zoom progress with a graph, I have to look into this as it isnt displaying properly, either that or i havent configured my hud, it looked ok at first but i dont think it is
  • are we there yet?
  • this is what i originally posted, with zoom filtered:

    but if u look, i lost like 3 buy like consecutively lol, its not right, also, I was never down 7 buy ins consectutively at all, so someting is wrong lol

    im downloading the newest PT4 update as we speak so hopefully it patches up the problem
  • I can say that if you make 30k you're a much better grinder than me and have earned my respect :P it's pretty high

    1/3 of the way there and 1/3 of the way thru the year :D

    also, i got a good livament sched coming up and scoop!
  • not the right place to post strat and HH's
  • Well, after some horrendous beats and a big dent to my roll, I have dropped down playing cash.. ppl told me to stop playing, but I feel like I have the brain and fundamentals to be a winning cash player.

    I capped my cash game max to 10NL until a) i have a better roll and b) am better overall

    sesh went good tonight, i know ppl love graphs so here is one

    zoom is perfect for when I dont feel like playing for a long time

    like 200 hands, up 6 buy ins good times.

    I know its not much, but its encouraging to have a winning session, hopefully I keep it up, especially for when I move up.
  • How many rush tables to you do at a time?
  • Im just playing 2, I find it's more than enough action

    ppl who 4 table often time out and its just like normal poker, its a joke, they really slow it down.

    with 2 up, u are constantly folding, or constantly in a hand. Good times
  • Dabbled a bit on FTP with 4 table rush PLO, found it much easier than trying to 10+ table normal games (without Table Ninja anyhow)
  • well I figured I'd pop in for an update

    poker wise, I haven't been doing shit... had a 1.5K downy , which is insane considering the stakes ive been playing (400+ buy ins)

    really gotta get it together and close the year out strong.

    30K goal of side income is still attainable.. I think.

    Within the next week Ill find out if im moving west to play full time again.

    If I do that, i'll be playing liveaments alot more and play 50+ hours a week again.

    Ill update this later.
