I really like to set myself some objectives when it comes to poker (and not only poker), not that then I do necessarily everything to achieve them, but I like to look back in a month time and see how it went.
Let's split it between online and live. I primarily play online now, as I can play many more tables at once and don't get bored. Live games are nice, and certainly softer than online games, but jaysus if you run bad and get no cards you waste an evening and get nothing out of it, apart from listening to the "I know everything" donks at the table, that have no idea what they are talking about. Also a lot of the weekly games around Dublin are low buy-in (100€ max) and don't really motivate me enough to leave home.....of course I'd rather go out pubbing or clubbing instead 
So I try to put down some of my goals for the forthcoming weeks from now until the end of October.
Online:
ICOOP on PS.it are the "big thing" this month - the problem is that almost all the events I am interested in (like Events 3&4 NLH 6-Max and the PLO event) fall during the weekend when I have friends visiting me and a paintballing game....so I will miss those. Here are the events I am planning to play though:
http://www.pokerstars.it/icoop/schedule/
Event #1 : NLH 50€ + 1 rebuy (I am suppose to go out that night but if I get lazy I will play this).
Event #6 : PL Omaha Hi/Lo 50€
Event #7 : NLHE Triple Shootout 100€
Event # 9: NL Hold'em [Heads Up] 100€
Event # 11: NLHE Main Event 100€
Apart from this I will play the usual daily/weekly games most nights, like the
"Night on Stars", the "High Roller" (this is on Gioco Digitale), Sunday Special, Sunday Master, Ultima Chance, etc, etc, and hope to make some good cashes.
I am also planning to go back playing more on Full Tilt, but not getting the 27% rakes back is a BIG turn off for me. It is ridiculous that if you don't sign up for rakeback when you join at the beginning, then you cannot get them afterwards. Let's see what I can do there. I will play the 90-man SNG Turbo (26$), I played a few of those last week after long time and found them very soft, so I will play more of those when time allows + some MTT obviously given the outstanding choice on FT.
I will continue study cash games on Leggo and get better and better at them in order to smash the tables when they get introduced in the Italian poker rooms, hopefully later this year. This would certainly be my main objective for the next 6 months.
Live:
Internation Poker Open http://www.boylesports.com/poker/d.asp?show=IPO_EventInfo_English
this is a low buy-in event which will attract 1.5k+ people....a record outside Las Vegas I believe. I played this in the last two years and never cashed. First year I played like a donk (I probably was a donk), second year I played wonderfully and lost 4 coin flips in a row to be sent to the rail....hopefully I will run better this year. I really miss a good result in one of these live events, so I am really looking forward to this!
Second objective is to try to qualify and play the Irish Winter Festival....this is a 1.65k € Event, that I wouldn't buy-in directly for, but if I can manage to play one or two live satelites I will be happy to try!
That's it for today, see you next time!
