Play a minimum of 1500 SNG's per month.

At a minimum, I would like to be regularly 8-tabling the 55s by the end of the year.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

are you playing poker full time? if not, this will not be easy

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Stop sucking so much.


Also:
- 10k hands per week (so I guess that would be about 500k for the yr)
- Study and read more (books and strategy forums)
- Hopefully get good enough and have the roll to move back up to 10/20 (or higher)
- Win entries to 2 major land-based tourneys

Yes. Up until about a week ago, I had a 5 or 6-month hiatus from SNG's. Now would be a good time to set a goal of getting ICM and bubble play down cold, huh? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

- play 5,000 SNGs.
- trust that little voice inside my head while I'm playing.
- post at least 365 hands.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Make $50k in 10 hrs/wk without playing a single hand of poker.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Switching to playing SnGs... Only have a few hours a week to play, so...

Play 50 SnG's a week, go from the 11s to the 33s or higher.

Play the Party 40k once a week, Make 2 Final Tables and One Top 3.

^-- ideally, figure something out like that.

More realistically, try to suck less and maybe even make enough money playing poker to pay off a credit card or two.

Homer - Are you playing full-time these days or teaching or what? quick life-update please.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Get waaaaay better at adapting to different table conditions (prob. the worst part of my game right now.)

Make 24k (not even close last year)

Play 3/6 sh with confidence at any site.

Do not tilt while playing bj.

Stop trying to clear pokerroom bonii. It just sucks that bad.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

good luck with this -- i set a goal of about this for myself and realized i'd have no chance (though i'm a full time student). you will have a very good year if you can put in these hours!

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

my goal is very ambitious - but i want to make 70k. I started this summer (seriously) at 1/2 6max and am just about at 15/30. If I can bring myself to play between 15 and 20k hands a month I don't think this will be a problem.

I have done very well live and would like to play more live poker in AC, maybe twice a month, as the stakes I play have gotten high enough that it is worth the trip there (5 hours round trip to play 3/6 just doesn't cut it).

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

In a nutshell...become a NLHE mega-god.

(slightly more detailed plans)

1st Quarter
- NL50/100 -> NL200
- $25-50+/hr

2nd Quarter
- NL200 -> NL400/600
- $50-100+/hr

3rd Quarter
- NL400/600 -> NL1000
- $100+/hr

4th Quarter
- NL1000 -> NL2000
- $200+/hr

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:

Yes, I'm teaching full-time. That's part of the reason my goal is to make some decent money on the side while only having to put in 10-15 hours a week. I rarely play poker now, maybe an average of 2-3 hours a week just for kicks. Most of the time I'm gambling now, it's either casino whoring or sports arbitrage. I'm definitely more suited to those as opposed to poker, as it's more hands-off. I run calcs, make a decision and go with it, and if I lose, oh well -- it doesn't bother me. With poker, I get stressed out too easily, even when much smaller sums of money are involved. Anyhoo, I'll probably start playing poker a little more as WSOP qualifiers pick up next year. I'd like to get out to Vegas next summer for the main event, or if not that, at least one of the 1-3K events.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

I like these types of posts so....here it goes...

I am probably going to finish this year down about 2K(no concept of money management, NONE!) after I was up about 6.5K in 2004(dumbluckness). I feel as though since the beginning of my summer that my game has really started to improve and I am making a lot of progress. So basically what I want to do in 2006 is make a decent amount of money just hardcore grinding it out on PR playing sngs and low limit games. Then once I have a decent amoutn of money to work with I want to cash out some money to have fun with, and then move the rest of it over to PP so I can play the 3-6, 5-10, 10-20 O8 and Stud8 games. I also wouldnt mind putting some money back in UB to play more 2-7. I guess now that I am thinking about it I also wouldnt mind keeping money in PR so I can play Chinese poker(just started playing tihs week, awesome gambling game). So yeah...after six months of 06 it would be cool if I...

Cash out 2500 to do awesome things with
Move 2500 from PR to PP to do awesome things with(this would be the new BR I guess)
Leave like 500 in the PR account to play chinese pokah(gamble fun)
Put 500 in UB to play 2-7(gamble fun)

This is only the second time I have actually set a goal for myself playing poker and the first time I ended up not even coming close to making it. I wanted to make 2500 over the summer, and since the beginning of the summer I am barely up...at all. Money management is really my biggest problem. I have gotten A LOT better over the past six months with no tilting and such but I still play drunk A LOT, which is bad. So yeah, we will see how this works out...it probably wont!!! hahahah but if this does work out it would be pretty cool. We will just have to see if I can stay focused and make a couple hundred bucks a week playing the 22s or am I going to [censored] around playing drunk in games I have no business playing in....like saturday night when I was playing 2-2 PLO8(stupid!). We shall see I guess...I need to write this down somewhere because I probably wont remember to look at this thread ever again...alright im done now...flame away

oh yeah my current poker assets are as follows...
EXACTLY 1500 in the PR account
Withdrew 200 for foxwoods this friday
Another 249$ that I consider to be poker money(I play live poker on a somewhat frequent basis)
Damn that makes me depressed, ive actually played pretty solid over the past 6 or 7 months but I have had like literally...maybe 25 days or so where I have lost way too much money, like in the range of 250-500 dollars in a day. Ive only had one day like that in past month or so though...damn im blabbering. sorry

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Mainly figure out what I'm doing w/my life.

Playing 40k/month minimun on months I have off.

Play 20k/month once I start work in Sept.

Grow a pair of hairy boys and play mid limits again.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Start playing SNG's again, 1,500 for the year (25-30% ROI) to mix things up.

Continue to play $2/$4, but more consistently and move up to 1.25bb/100 (current is 1bb/100) and get a bonus on each and every hand I play. Hands goal 2006= 250,000 hands

May experiment at the end of the 2006 to moving from 8 tables up to 12.

Try to score at least a $5,000 MTT win, this year was weak for MTT's (biggest = $1,500)

Stop being such a crybaby when things are running badly.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

I want to make 60k in 2k6. Also learn to play Omaha and STTs.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Build my roll from $5k to $20k.

Grow a sack and move from $50 & $100 NL to $600 NL as the roll permits.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

My goal for 2k6 is to not put a bullet in my head.

I have lofty goals...

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

start beating 50nl
move to and start beating 100nl

learn 2-7 triple draw

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

start at 5/10 6m, almost there now.

move up to 10/20 6m.

I move up slowly.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Win over 15k in a MTT, win a seat in a land based high buy in tournament, win Stars TLB for the week.

And try to learn as much as possible.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Go pro in Feb and stay pro

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Currently playing at NL200. Play 400k hands (about 25 hours per week 5 tabling) make a very doable 3PTBB/100 and move up as the BR allows.
Moneywise with RB, I am only looking at it as I would play NL200 all year, so shooting for ~50k. Of course as I move up in limits this should go up, but I am not worrying about that.
Good luck to everyone!!!

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Make $71,980 playing poker. I have already started on it and I am keeping a running tab in my location (I suppose I'll update it monthly).

Not go broke and stop being a pussy.

Re: Post your 2006 goals/challenge in this thread:
 

Get better. Make more than I did this year. Maybe move to 10-20 when I finally have a decent winrate at 5-10.
