My poker career has come down to a dream that has never come to fruition.. I wanted supernova in 2014 and am ending with a measly 42,000 vpps.

This year will be different.

I started playing live poker everyday in late October. I made 1300 from 1/2 in November and $1600 so far in December. I just started playing 2/5. That game doesn't run full time in my casino so often I'm stuck at 1/2. When the 2/5 does run, it is completely fish filled. All passive/limping old men with money.

Goals for 2015:
[ ] 1,000,000 hands online (6max zoom and std tables up to 100nl)
[ ] 120 live sessions
[ ] $50,000 profit
[ ] Purchase or construct first investment property
[ ] Pay off or substantially pay down, student loan

Those are definitely push goals but with hard work and no huge changes to the poker climate I think they are possible. I'm waiting until at least spring to buy a property. I find out where my office moves in April so this will reflect my buying decision. The real estate market is pretty flat in Halifax, Canada right now. Looks like a drop of 16% year over year. It looks like a 10 year outlook on this purchase but it's better than paying rent.

Anyways, I'm happy to talk hands, finance, real estate, etc in this thread so hopefully the creative juices will be flowing (my career is in accounting/taxation).

Hope you all exceed your goals in 2015!

Starting a thread means day 1 run-good obviously

I won't be playing much more until Jan 5th. I'm heading home to Cape Breton for Christmas, Dec 22-28th, then driving to Montreal, Quebec to check out Mont-Tremblanc ski resort for 4 days. I've never been to Quebec. I'm just hoping for no injuries.

Good luck all with your 2015 grinds! Mine won't start until Monday. Leave some $$$$ out there for me

This thread will have 52 weekly updates, 12 monthly updates and of course, one big year end recap. I'll keep my goals updates in a percent progression format. Hope to get some feedback!
