About me: I am a 20 yr old full time player. I started playing poker with friends when i was 13, and started to become a winner when i found and joined these forums (2 yrs ago).
Before 6 months ago i was a fairly low volume player, and while i was getting better i wasn't putting that much effort into my game. Over the past few months i have been speaking alot to some very good players (Risk2dupside, brad2002tj, EeeTee2008, p3rc4) and working on getting alot better.
I have also started using a hud more often, about a month ago, and within the last 3months (with 2 months of actual play) i have managed to play nearly 2500 180's+ (about 50/50 mtts/180's). My goals for the summer are 4k games played, and for the year i plan on making top 200 in the stars TLB so i may qualify for some cool freerolls. I am currently ranked 1538, i have never been in the top 1000 for monthly, much-less yearly.
The Poker Goals: I am backed by a professional player and was just recently moved up. I will now be running a 15-30$ abi (goal is 20-25) and my goal is to have a 15-25% roi over my volume during the summer. I will also be playing the sunday million every sunday that i play. I would like to have at least 1 deep run in it this year.
Become a winnar on ftp!
Platinum star this summer, supernova by the end of 2011.
Win the prop bet that i will be running.
I have made many deep runs in large field 11's, 22's, 55's, 109's, 200's, 11r's, 3r's, 5's, ect ect without ever making a final table (like prolly 20+ top 18's), thus one of my other goals will be my first win in a large feild 11$+ and hopefully by the end of the yr i'll have my first 5 figure score.
Coaching goals: obtain more students (currently have 6, i charge 15$ an hour and all of my students have greatly improved results) and gain the respect and reputation i need so i may charge more and have more of a demand for my coaching abilities. With more coaching i will be able to pay rent and bills more easily without having to worry about variance.
I also plan on giving daily updates to some degree and will be posting some fun/interesting hands.
LIfe Goals: I plan on waking up every day at 8am, working out for 1 hour, cleaning up and eating then starting my sessions at 10am for every day but sunday, which i will sleep an extra hour.
I am currently paying my own rent/bills and living on my own and i just moved to a new place near Milwaukee to be closer to my boyfriend. I currently have no friends in the area but i do have lots of family, i plan on taking at least 1 day off a week but nor more then 2. I need to find some friends in the area and have some form of active life outside of poker and my BF/fam.
I also need to start working on my novel more, it'll never get finished at the rate im working on it. So i plan on dedicating 4 hours a week to writing.
The Dream: By the time im 25 i desire to be a Pokerstars Pro, a published author, and have a nationally selling novel.

***6month update***
About me: Same as then. Over the last 6 months i have 3500 mtts played and a few hundred sngs running a 30$ abi.
Poker goals:
[?]Become a winnar on ftp! (for 0-109's i am up 2k)
[?] I will also be playing the sunday million every sunday that i play. I would like to have at least 1 deep run in it this year (ft'd the mulligan).
[x]by the end of the yr i'll have my first 5 figure score (i have 3 now, biggest is 12.5k)
[ ] top 200 yearly tlb (failed, didn't grind 12's at all, and had no massive binks so im at like 640)
New poker goals:Clear my 10k in make up, play 1k mtts for december, make top 500 for yearly ps tlb, play 8k mtts next year, get on my own dime by 2012, i'd also like to sell a 15k package for wsop/venetian and get my first 20k+ score.
Coaching goals: i currently am coaching/backing 2 people, put it on the back burner mostly, focusing mainly on myself and have no real goals for this as of now.
LIfe Goals:LOL @ waking up at 8am, it ****s with the best playing schedules too hard. I pretty much avg 2 days off a week (friends/bf), i have gained friends in the area im at now and have actually been dating for the last 2 months, and am deeply in love (and the feelings are mutual!!!!!!!!!!!). Haven't done much writing, and haven't worked out as much as i'd like to, but my bf and i are starting to workout 3 days a week starting Wednesday and i'm gonna find time and force myself to write at least 2 hours a week. I have been doing writing for minnesotapokermagazine and have a few articles published through them online and in their magazine and would like to become a mainstay write on their magazine by end of the year.
The Dream: Same as then
