November Goals.

hey so havent posted here in a while, had a slacky october, reviewed some etc.
only made a couple of 1000$ but probably ran worst i have so far so its np.

anyway i posted my november goals on 2+2 so i thought i'd share em here;

* 86000 VPP by december 31st starting with 2k BR.
* play good/run good.
* start going to the gym, get into routine to possibly go for SNE next year.
* not get mad in the slightest about running uber bad vs the 16/27 regs so far who have quite alot of leaks.
* possibly make a video at each stage i move up > 16 > 27 > 38 etc.
* at least 6-8 hours 5+ days a week 21 tabling continous.

i started playing stars at the end of october, played over 700 games in the last 5 days. i reached goldstar from scratch, so november i will get platinum and hopefully supernova ready for january if i decide to go for supernova elite.

My experience on stars so far has been good, ive ran pretty badly, some of the regs make really questionable plays, yet they are fairly big winners :(

my hand really doesnt matter here, he knows im on ATC, the bad beat isnt the case.
even when im pushing 100%, its still -0.3% EV for him to call here with the other shortie, and thats when im on 100%, any lower and it becomes a really huge mistake.

Going through hands with this dude i found another spot where i found an obvious leak of his, so i decided to run that too.

This is just ridiculous from a winning regular.. he is like 15% roi over 3k+ games.
his call is -0.7% if im on 100%, any less than 100% and it becomes huge.

as im in a berating mood, ill post another hand from one of the FEW i've played with him, to spot this many obvious leaks after only a few games is ridiculous, he must have a personal vendetta against me or something.

If he puts me on about 5% here, which is AQo+, 99+, which for 12BBs is probably the loosest range, this is a -1.7% call and its such a huge leak...
anyway thats enough berating lol. i hope he doesnt read this and adapts ;)
hopefully november will be a good month, i plan to play at least 3000 SNGs towards making supernova, and hopefully i can run well, ive basically had a pretty bad stretch on stars of about 1500 games which is pretty gay since i only just started here, but good to have a bad patch i guess, makes the good days feel even better :)
expect updates here on my progress to supernova :)
