End of April Stats and May Goals

So April was a pretty crazy month, starting with a 10BI downswing and then a 20BI upswing to finish 10NL and becoming rolled for 25NL. In 25NL I started off up 5BI and now I'm back down to break-even lol. I met my goals of having a profitable month and also becoming at least a bronze ironman by playing just shy of 19k hands. wooot. I also won the side prop bet with a buddy of mine, who admitted defeat last night on facebook, and I'm looking forward to some tasty lobster at his expense in July lol.

I'm very happy with my 3ptbb/100 winrate considering my rough start and I'm not worried about 25NL yet, still have lots to learn about 3betting and squeezing preflop, which players do a lot more at 25NL. There are also a lot more regulars and guys playing 14/12/3 but very aggressive in position. I know I can be profitable at this level, it's just a matter of being patient until it clicks like it did at 10NL.

Here are my stats for April:


My stats for both stakes are almost identical but I'm going to look to tighten up my UTG, MP, and CO ranges a bit and look to play more a 17/15/3 or 16/14/3 and loosen up as I become more comfortable later in the month.

As for my goals for the month, it's a pretty quiet month for work, only working 13 days total so I plan on getting a lot of hand in during my days off. Here is my schedule for my non-work days during the week:

8 15am: Wake up
9 00am: 1.5hour session
11 00am: 1.5 hour session
1 00pm: 1.5 hours of basketball
4 00pm: 1-1.5hour session
10 00pm: Review the day's session and blog every 3-4 days.

With this schedule, I can get in about 1.7k-1.9k hands on those days. 12 week days of this is 20.4k-22.8k hands right there. I also have 4 Sundays and the evenings to put in so with that in mind, here are my goals for May:
1) Play at least 25k hands.
A) Secondary goal of hitting 30k hands.
2) Have a profitable month again
B) Secondary goal of making $500 and thus moving my BR above $1k.
3) My current posts on Cardrunners is around 20 and I want to take better advantage of the forums so I want to have my postings up to 75 by the end of the month.

I've been reading a lot of this dude, E-Cart's, blog since I started poker and have watched him move up from 25NL to 50NL successfully. I like how he posts each day's PT stats on his blog every few days and comments on them and I'm going to do that for this month and see how it goes. Every 3-4 days I will post my stats for each day's sessions and be critical of them, in addition to posting some HH.

So there we go, I'm pumped for a new month and looking forward to it being profitable soon enough. No playing for me today, going to take my first break in over a month as I have to work today, so I'm just going to lay low this morning and watch a 50NL vid by Fruitypro.
