hmmm... 2009
- work on new year resolutions from previous year
- have even more sex
- play less poker (but concentrate more and move up)
POKER: I want to start making time for actually playing poker. So if I could play 10k SnG's this year i'd be happy. No money or ROI goals, just take it as it comes.
BETTING: Carry on making a nice living for myself from my winnings, and hopefully double my roll aswell as my cashouts.
LIFE: Get myself over to Australia to visit family, and go to New Zealand to visit a good friend.
To enjoy the freedom and PARRRRRRTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to.....
-show a profit on SSS and move to BSS
-become a platinum member
-have a bankroll of 10K
-read harrington on cash games, the smart money (a sports betting book by M. Konic), little green and little blue book by Gordon and Super System II. Maybe reread the harrington on hold em and Super System 1.
-take a trip to Vegas and test my live game skills out and have some fun
-visit local casino a few times
- Not fail a single class this semester Alright... Cept maybe spanish...
- Do better at schooooool... like seriously I've not given a fuck about school for to long..
- Start giving a fuck about stuff I haven't given a fuck about for too long...
- Get better at every single aspect of this game... Keep on being as active in the hand sample forum as I've been... Keep spending hours every now and then working on my game..
- Become a part-time poker pro... This ain't a unrealistic thingy since I don't need much to live in my current lifestyle.. Just enough so I don't need to work as a pizza boy or whatever you know?...
- Hit the final table of a tourney..
- Drink as much alcohol as this year...
- And in all this stress don't forget friends and family...
when I look at my previous year I'm pretty unhappy about my attitude towards a lot of stuff.. I guess It's just who I am... but I guess I gotta change it... if not well I better get professional at this game then..
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst...
Good luck all in 09...
ohh and yeah when I look at this post in 1. January 2010 I want my bankroll to be at least 5k... no pressure baby I just need to double it +1k$
Goals for 2009
Move up to $5 sng's
Move up to larger player field MTT's
Improve my god awful cash game
Reduce anger (not usually tilt just general anger) from my game
Finish 6 month long mass bonus whoring quest and pick a platform to move the BR to
Add a little more aggresion to my game, mostly in terms of bluffing
Not throw another monitor over an insanely bad runner runner Queen 2 outer beat (okay it was only once ♦)
do as well as last year playing tourneys & at least 10K profit from them like 2008 but by end of year want to move up to playing mid stakes MTT & play more big sunday games
want to be a winner at cash & maybe play limit $3/$6 or $5/$10 and work on beating that level & only play omaha/NL cash for fun
last this I want to play some 7 card stud tourneys on FTOP/ECOOP and maybe some live games , the game is loads of fun away from the grind on holdem
- Drink as much alcohol as this year...
I hope it is not serious, drinking too much alchocol is really bad for your poker career! I used to drink let's say more than average, was drinking whole week sometimes(not as an alchocolic at home alone:D, but when we were travelling with friends, or clubbing, etc), then next week your brain just refuses to work, I think by drinking a lot you just destroy part of your brain ♦

Oah, it's not difficult to do, difficult not to !
Do well in school... pretty important right now.
For poker I want to be able to beat NL100 SH by the end of 2009, maybe even taking shots at NL200 SH.

Why would you play FL 5/T if you can beat NL600-1k? it'd be just waste of time in the matter of money. Or did I miss something?
Anyway; good luck with your goals! I'll watch you!!

Because it's much better for grinding(bonuses, status) than NL. More tables, more points etc.
Btw, NL1000 is a bit far fetched, but I hope for NL600 
Actually all of my poker goals are probably a bit high, but it's going to be something to work for.

Oh; come on! Look where did you get in the last 12 months: how many limits did you move up in FL? 5? 6? And your goal for this year is to move 1 or 2 (dont know if you still play 3/6 or you're back at 2/4), so what's the deal? 
See you at 10/20 soon!
