Goals for April

Now that I've finished my monthly review for March, it's time to set some goals for April. I likely won't have quite the same amount of free time this month that I did in March, so with that in mind here are my goals:

(1) Play 35,000+ hands
Since I'll have substantially less free time, meeting this goal will be far more difficult this month, and may be a little unrealistic. Nonetheless, I'd like to push hard to get as many hands in as I can.

(2) Post a 3 ptBB/100 winrate or greater winrate at $50 NL.
This may or may not be challenging depending on if I run well, and what the difficulty jump is like between $25 and $50 NL. I expect the jump to be minor, so if that is the case I think this goal is attainable running slightly below average to average.

(3) Have my VPIP from the small blind for the month of April be <15.
This will be a major adjustment given my March stats, but one that needs to be made to prevent some spew and help my winrate.

(4) Have my VPIP from the CO be >16, and VPIP from the HJ (POS 2) be >13.
These changes should help my increase my winrate slightly, and start getting myself in the habits that will be necessary for higher limits.

(5) Get comfortable playing 12 tables at a time, up from my current standard of 10.
I've tried 12 tabling before and it went fine. I'm certain my hardware can support it, though I may need to pick up another 22" monitor for it to be bearable over the long hall. Part of this may entail be more diligent in table selection and no longer joining "fast" type tables. If I can accomplish this, crossing the 35k hand mark for the month should be reasonable.

Should I meet goals (1) and (2), I should add $1050+ to my roll over the month of April, along with ~16000+ FPPs (~$185). I'm excited to kick things off with a short session at $50 NL tomorrow!
