I've played poker for a little over a year and I think I've worked out a good portion of my leaks and have enough experience and forum/book knowledge (plus tilt control) to say that I think 2007 will be a good year for me.

I can see myself at 2/4 within 2 to 3 months (I play each level with 50 BIs)

I hope to be at 5/10 by December (with 100 BIs) but would be happy grinding 2/4 if I knew I could make $20-$30k a month doing it (roughly 5bb/100 at around 50k-80k hands a month).

after looking over Poker Tracker and reflectin on 2006, I've decided to revise my post.

2006.
I played over 232k hands and in that time I lost a little over 1000 in cash games. With bonus, rakeback and tournament wins, I was still up on the year though. (won a tourney for about 4k alone).
My problem was that after the tournament win, I moved up from 100NL to 200NL when I was not ready. My bigger problem was that I did not move down when I should have. I lost over 5k in 200NL in under 25,000 hands.
Obviously, I should have moved down sometime instead of just thinking that I was getting unlucky. my bad, lesson learned.

2007
Start over from scratch.
I am playing .01/.02 NL on Poker Stars right now.
I will be back to playing 100NL in short order, and this is my plan on to get there without redepositing.

I started with about $6 on Poker Stars and started playing .01/.02NL.
Right now that is about to $30. In the next few days I will be receiving a RB payment of $101 which I will withdrawl to neteller and then deposit onto PokerStars (unfortunatley it won't come in time for me to get a few bucks of bonus from PS's latest deposit bonus offer). At that point I will easily be properly rolled for .02/.05 NL. Adding the RB to whatever amount I have, I should be less than $50 away from playing NL10 on Poker Stars.
I will take a 2 buy-in shot at NL10, if that fails, I will grind until I hit $200 to have 20 buy-ins for NL10.

Shortly after hitting NL10, I should clear one of my 2 bonus's on Stars for $120 (I need less than 200 points right now).

In Feb be playing NL10.
In March be playing NL25 and finishing clearing my 2nd stars bonus for $120.

Once the 2nd bonus clears, I am going to pull all of my money off of Stars and put it in Doyles Room where I will play .10/.20 NL until hitting 1,000 in my bankroll and moving to NL50.
The reason I am going to be playing Doyles Room is because I am just 50k points away from clearing my $550 bonus.
If I am not playing NL50 by that point, clearing that bonus will have me properly rolled for it.

From there I go back to Poker Stars (unless Full Tilt is running a reload) and grind until I hit NL100.

I plan to be playing NL100 by April or May.

At this point I will just work to be playing 6 tables of NL100 and grinding out a steady profit.
I will put in at least 100k hands of NL100 before thinking about moving up.


I will be saving this post by putting it in yet another crappy poker blog.
I should also be posting hands along the way and reading the forums.

My goal for 2006 was to make $1200 ($100/average)
As you can see I dont play a lot of hands. Finally I got bored with full ring fixed limit and switched to NL. Been doing well apart from the tiliting at NL100 and NL200.





Goal for 2007. $2400. No tilting at higher limits.

2006

Moved to cash mid September after spending about 18 months being a mediocre MTT SNG donk.

Started at NL10 and moved through NL25 and NL50 with a couple of NL100 and NL200 shots. Had to cash out basically everything. Here are the numbers for 2006 (give or take about a $100 that is on my desktop database and about 400 in boni and rb.



2007
Am currently at Stars NL10 (slightly overrolled as I like it...)

Get back to NL50 and aventually NL100
Stop cashing out
Tighten up a bit more (am oftentimes a tad to trigger-happy with the pf raising an teh aggression)
Loose weight
Be happy

A BIG SHOUTOUT TO I-STRONG for the vids which made me take the leap! Thanks dude.
