Hilary in '08!!

Oh God.

Increase my current $400 bankroll to $15,000 using proper bankroll management.
Win the 28K Guarantee
Win Midnight Madness
Cash FTOPS ME

Setting very high goals for my level of play, but I think it is very possible.

Tygran · Dec 20, 2007

2008 going to be a big year I hope.

Among other things I will be moving to Europe for at least a year, if not much longer. Part of the reason I'm electing to do this is because my job there will allow me more time to focus on poker while providing enough income to live on. Added bonus of not dealing with boneheaded American politics regarding poker. (Or should that just be "boneheaded American politics" ?)

So.. my goals for the year are..

1) Become a consistent winning player at ring games.

2) By the end of the year to be consistently averaging at least $2000 profit a month.

and oh yeah 3) Celebrate a Ron Paul victory in 08

(right there with ya chuck)

-Get myself into final tables and win most of them.
-Win the full tilt cardschat freeroll (First have to stop finishing just outside final table).
-Get another royal flush (just hit my first one today).
-Keep grindig it out in lwo limit Omaha H/L and not loose nerves.
-Rip up the Holdem tables in Macau.

Additional goals that might not fit into next year:
-Win a few of those wsop bracelets
-Win a APPT title
-Make final table at EPT
-Get sponsored
-Find a hot girl who will love to massage me after my long sessions and listen to my bad beat stories

And make money, be nice to people, and all that good stuff.

Will you only take 500 out your profits each week if you win more to help with growing bankroll and helping if you hit a slump?

I move some out to epassporte and use to buy things, pay bills, etc.
I don't really need the $500 to live off every week, and don't have a set amount I move. I want to hit $500 to prove to myself that I can. I don't really "move up". I am comfortable playing $11 buyins or lower, and though I may occasionally play something bigger (if the payout looks good) it will probably be a while till I decide to play only the $30-50 range mtts.

KyleJRM · Dec 20, 2007

Current poker cash (I detest calling it a "bankroll" when it is so small"): $287.

Goals: Advance to NL$100 (meaning I have at least $2,000 in poker cash and am solidly beating NL$100) and become comfortable enough with my PL08 game to take that up to at least $.25/.50 tables. Eventually, I'd like to transition to playing only PL and NL 08, which I think is infinitely easier to beat these days than NLHE.

With you 100% there. At least now he's raising money, he can get his name out there a little bit. I still don't expect him to win the nomination, but I'd like him to at least make a good showing and maybe even win a State primary or two. If he got elected, I would certainly celebrate. But if not at least his ideas will have gotten out into the public more and especially if we elect a Democrat this year, I'll sure be voting for one (as long as it's not Hilary, if it's her vs. a non-Paul Republican, I'll just cry and maybe write in Colbert). Hopefully people still remember Bush in 4 years and realize that neither Party is running the country particularly well and someone like Paul can win the election in '12. At least that's my hope. This probably should have been in the lounge section, sorry I wrote a bit too much here in the poker general section.

OK so one more point on Paul and I'll stop.

And the point is.... saying you will support ron paul in a thread on 2008 poker goals is not off topic! He is by far the best candidate you could elect to change Washington's attitude towards online poker.

just something to think about.

dillingerdis · Dec 21, 2007

Continue to try and perfect the skill.... Actually cash out when i say im going to instead of blowing it in those damn rigged-ass casino games. Hopefully $10,000 in total by 2009!

Aalgaard · Dec 21, 2007

- Increase my profit. (Had about $700 with one zillion hours played)
- Become a better Razz mtt player
- Become a better SnG player at $20+2 tourneys
- AND read a lot of books.. Ordered 7 books at amazon.com yesterday

DP_Machine · Dec 21, 2007

Restart my online bankroll from an initial deposit (probably start with $100 or $200 depending on my current level of disposable funds and to see if I can get a reload bonus when I play at PokerRoom or somewhere else with an initial deposit bonus) and build it up to $1000.

For Live play, just continue to play the way I've been playing and move up to 10-20FL or 2-5NL blinds.

Learn how to play other games, incl. Razz and Stud 8...working my way to being decent in each game and start looking to play HORSE.

davide10 · Dec 21, 2007

Hello everybody, I want to win a tournement!!!

sneaky21 · Dec 21, 2007

i plan on playing better n make profit..horse is fun to play

royalburrito24 · Dec 21, 2007

Oh yeah, I would also like to finish up all of the books that I have bought for poker: HoH Volumes 1-3, Full Tilt poker strategy Guide Tournament Edition, Theory of Poker, Caro's Book of Poker tells, Gordon's Little Blue Book. Should not be too hard, although reading is my least favorite thing to do. Ever.

switch0723 · Dec 21, 2007

i want to be king of my own country

vanquish · Dec 21, 2007

oops this thread title threw me off so i made an official thread.

go repost there imo

singate · Dec 22, 2007

I really need to start playing online again. The whole jumping through hoops to deposit funds cooled my interest for most of this year.

anty-up · Dec 22, 2007

my goal in this next year is to see what i can do.....the past three years of playing ive made quite the improvement in the begginning i would deposit about 100 a week (that would ba a slow week lol)Now ill deposit 25 bucks and that will last me around 3-4 months of solid playing everyday for about 4-5 hours....blah blah noone cares lol gl all

Cheezymadman · Dec 22, 2007

Starting from scratch to begin the year, I'd like to cash in at least two freerolls every month, and end 2008 with a BR of a grand or more.

crzycal · Dec 22, 2007

I am hoping that the new year brings me more guts when playing at final tables. I hope to gain more knowledge of the game. I have been playing for 3 years there is still alot to learn. good luck all in new year.

KingNothing4 · Dec 22, 2007

well i guess considering i do not have a real bankroll right now, i plan on freerolling, and hopefully make a couple final tables in the $0.10 rebuy donk-a-thon haha its just like a freeroll but u get paid a lot more, i just use my freeroll winnings on this when its change...my goal is reall build a bankroll from freerolling and and these $.10 tournies, which will be great if i make a FT haha.

cparr1980 · Dec 22, 2007

2008

To win more money LOL......tired of winning a couple of cents in these freerolls LOL.............I am getting closer........LOL

lkport · Dec 23, 2007

Update. Tough week. Two days left and I am only up $180. Got my first 2 losing days, and 2 days under $10 profit. Thankfully, first week of my attempt ran a bit over my target

Its a marathon not a sprint.

When I play I play in sessions. I think it can be unhealthy tohave specific targets. Eg I must make $100 a day as it does not work like that and it cause you to "force the play" and get stung. Have you thought of having a target of say 500 hands a day?

player7000 · Dec 24, 2007

I plan on depositing a little more $ in my Pokerstars account to boost my BR slightly. I always stay in ring games to long and end up losing what I win.Going to try a system where if I am up 25%-50% of buy -in, I leave the game! Also if I lose that much I walk. Also want to play more in 45 player sng's.Do alright with them.Only have $100 in my account but hopefully after college bowl season will be able to put more in!Would like to have 2 or 3 thousand by the end of next year!

What are your 2008 Targets?
