September Goals

My month is off to a decent start. Holiday Monday's session was poor, though it ended up marginally positive. Since then I've had +5 and +2 BI short sessions, which combined with my $1.2k milestone bonus and rakeback from the ~10k hands I've played makes for a decent chunk of change.

One thing I've noticed is that when I'm posting a solid winrate, I am playing looser and stealing more blinds. During my stretch of running terribly during late July and almost all of August, I tightended up and stole one hell of a lot less, which obviously hurt my winrate.

With that in mind, I'm only going to have two real goals for the month:

1) Play 150k+ hands.
I managed nearly 200k last month, but due to video game releases and (hopefully) not running as bad, 150k this month should be a good challenge.

2) VPIP > 13, PFR > 10, ATS > 28
I think I am definitely more profitable when I open looser from position, and these stats will reflect that I am keeping this in mind.

Unofficial 3) Make five figures of profit
Since this is partially determined by luck I'm not going to make it an official goal, but it is definitely something I've been hoping to accomplish. If I do 1) and 2) it is not entirely unreasonable.
