1) Move up to highest limits regularly available as my standard game (probably PLO8 100)
2) Cash in a live PLO8 tourney
3) 6bb/100 winrate for 50k+ hands
4) Get O8 session reviews to happen in the forum on a monthly basis
5) Start 72 strat threads (6 per month) in this forum
6) Play fewer SNG's and MTT's
7) Review all hands where +/- 50bb every month

Life Goals

8) Get to and maintain a weight of 185 or lower
9) Successfully quit the hookah after my 2nd child is born

I was gonna say achieve Supernova status, but thats not happening for me due to personal obligations and also the new weighted contribution rake. Going to rethink and post later

Getting a net winning of 500BB in 6-max LO8 .10/.20, which is my primary game now, playing a bit higher if there isn't action.

Good if the goal is for all of 2012, then I don't have to declare the losing months here . The total amount of hands during the year can probably be counted in only tens of thousands, so declaring every month doesn't really have much of a point. Good if all of the year has.

According to the 'success' so far, achieving this goal would almost be winning over myself. Maybe another year is needed, I'll keep you informed.

Poker Goals
1. 15k+ sng profit
2. 25k+ mtt profit
3. Play more non 08 games

Life Goals
1. Exercise regularly to I have reached Rambo shape
2. Cut back drastically on alcohol and drug consumption
3. Find a girl that is both attractive and mentally stable
4. Defeat chuck norris in hand to hand combat
5. Take over the world

6 Big Blind in PLO8 100 - you think thats possible? - how many tables you will play... how many time you wanne invest in tableselection?

Btw: think its not fair to quit the hookah after beeing the father of her two childs

GL!!!

Poker Goals:
1. Invest $0 in Marketplace investments. Only invest in close friends @ no markup.
2. Play in as many TCOOP event as possible (guessing around 10). Play in as many SCOOP and WCOOP event as possible. I'm thinking 10 SCOOP and 2 WCOOP?
3. Play 6k NLO8 SNGs and ONLY play during peak hours. If Hyper turbos are deployed, one hyper turbo counts as 0.5 games (i.e. would have to play 12k hypers to reach my goal).
4. Play cash games when SNGs are past peak hours. Don't have a HUD so I don't keep track of # of hands played. I should be playing within my limits though (25 NL to 200 NL and 25 PL to 100 PL as I feel like my PLO8 game isnt as great deepstacked).
5. Move up to $8 and $3.50 Rebuy 180 mans in my NLHoldem stake.
6. Play the Sunday Million at least twice (using my FPPs).
7. Play 5 sessions of NLHoldem cash at a live casino.
8. Finish Reading "Kill Everyone"

Life Goals:
1. Avoid eating junky fast food and stick to Subway (6 inch turkey sub with double meat).
2. Lose 10 pounds. Currently 175.
3. Find a girlfriend, hopefully someone that has a tolerance for gambling.
4. Watch at least eight Toronto Blue Jay home games live (81 home games).
5. Get my driver's license.
6. Eat breakfast as many days as possible.
7. Read 12 books (one per month)

perhaps we should have an 08 night at the Rogers center!! gl in 2012 dude!!

long list and most are similar to the goals I set last year and failed miserably at most but gonna make this happen this year, off to a wedding in D.R. early this month but cant wait to put in some time!!
1) average 45 hours per week over the course of the year for 50 weeks of play
2) find a better balance of mtt's and sng's,
3) put in sessions on days when have other commitments, in the past i write off the whole day when could still put in 5 hours of sng's
4) profit 75k b4 bonus, should actually be higher if meet hours goal but good baseline can always adjust, more concerned with hours than $$, if get the hours the $$ will follow i HOPE
5) go to Vegas for WSOP and play all 08 events, selling some in 5k to poker friends more than likely
6) properly roll myself for the bigger buyin mtt's, its embarrassing to not be playing all the $215 weekly 08 events, that needs to change
7) avoid negative chat, pretty good at this for most part but sometimes get sucked into chat and it is not productive in any way shape or form
8) get on some other sites for mtt play, stars is by far my favorite site but no reason not to play some of the better value mtt's
9) Watch vids and do hand reviews at least a couple times/week
10) have fun, this is much more enjoyable and profitable than most 9-5's, easy to forget that sometimes
Non Poker
play minimum of 5 sports per week, 2 nights of scheduled bball for next few months, plus squash and then traveling soccer squad once summer comes
eat better
spend more time with friends and family
all the best in 2012!!
cheers Hammr

I'd be down for this. Lmk when you're in the downtown Toronto area and we can make it happen! Season isn't for another 3 months, so no rush or anything.

GL with your goals too. Looks like you're aiming for a very balanced lifestyle which I think is the most ideal for poker players long-term. Cheers!

o8 reach NLO8 200 at stars.
get a rakeback account on ipoker and reach PLO8 100.
starting with maximum 200€.
grind 5k s&g 7$+ with minimum 20% ROI
reach PLO 600 on my europian site.
win minimum 1 mixed game or stud tourney ship 1-2 o8 tourney.
cash out at FT leaving just a couple of hundreds there.
never leave more than 2,5k in any poker account.

and most important have fun while playing and hopefully make more $$ from the tables than from rakeback
i actually liked it when u started to
but good luck with it.
i for myself never had a problem with tilt control.

ps:losing 30 pounds would be nice too

Good luck to all of you. Your goals all seem so laudable.

Poker Goals:

1. Play the $11 O8 mtt's at least a few times.
2. Stay away from the ring games.
3. Decide whether to keep playing or not. This might be decided for me if we get legislation in the U.S. (My state will opt out.) I cannot afford to not win and although I'm a decent player, I'm not sure I'm a winner (I don't play enough to know if I'm a winner).
4. Read and maybe reply to more O8 forum strat threads.
5. Continue working a little bit every day to get online poker licensed and regulated in the U.S. (see Poker Legislation forum if you want to help).



Life Goals:

1. Don't gain any more weight. I quit smoking 11 months ago and gained 25 pounds (could also be due to menopause). I am one pound away from being overweight. I don't wanna be old and fat.
2. Make pot brownies just once. Somebody please let me know how much to use.
3. Read more fiction -- at least 6 fiction books this year.
4. Convert vinyl to digital.

Poker:
1: Be a consistent winner at PLO8 100 over the next half year
2: Move up to PLO8 200

Non-poker:
1: Exercise 4 times a week
2: Run/ride the bike at least twice a week

sounds good man, gl with your goals as well!!

I'd like to make 200k from poker and staking in 2012

• 30k in net earnings live/online
• Ship at least 1 live MTT
• Win my Thursday night league leaderboard again
• Win my WSOP league for seat at ME
• Continue to improve my NLHE cash game

Gl everyone

1-I was planning to say make Supernova for first time but with rake changes not sure if it is still possible. Still a goal I guess but perhaps no longer attainable.
2-Make 1k per month at L08 cash tables 1/2 through 3/6
3-This is where I should say lose 25-30 pounds but I can't even pretend that is gonna happen.

Life Goal: doing some exercise every day. If needed a card to two different gyms for not getting bored. I don't care if it costs, well invested.

I expect to take a lot of mocking itt if I don't even remotely fulfil this goal. Doing exceptions extremely rarely may be the best for my psychological setup, then I may keep it up the best. Let this be the trend setter year.

Going out for a walk now

Posted in SSLHE forum.

Keep studying and getting better at Omaha/8.

Play >500 hours of LO8 for the year (~10 hrs/wk). (Sprinkle in a few hrs/wk of 3/6 LHE.)

Beat LO8 for >1 BB/hr for the year. Because it's usually 6/12 with a 10/20 kill, say that 450 of those hours are at 6/12 and 50 are at 10/20. That's saying that 10% of hands are killed. Seems reasonable. (450*$12) + (50*$20) = $5400 + $1000 = $6400.

Win money.

Making $2k a month playing O8 Mtt´s on stars.
