poker is so unpredictable and interesting that the big win is possible early, but you never know

I don't think about how I will spend the money I win :) ...... if that's what you mean. I don't have overambitious goals, but I have an action plan that I'm trying to implement step by step, day by day :)

The goal from day one 20 some years ago when I started was to be a long term winning player at micro stakes. I've gone from almost no money in my poker account to $500. Then took that $500 up too $2500 a number of times over the years. At $2500 I've always cashed out at least 2k or more and started over.

I think this time after coming back from my last break once a build up my bankroll from basically nothing yet again(currently sits at $200. I'm not gonna cash out at $2500, spend it and start over again. This time I think I'm gonna finally move up and regularly play high stake MTT's instead of just sticking with micro and low stakes. In the number of shots I've taken over the years at higher stake MTT's I've done ok and held my own with a few min cashes. Didn't get any big cashes or deep runs but wasn't a lamb sent to slaughter either.

Cheers!!!

My poker plans are that I want to become a professional player and make poker my main source of income. I don’t have any great poker achievements yet, but I believe that there will be some in the future, the main thing is to work hard and move towards the goal. If there is a big win, then I will think about what to do with it, there is an expression “there is no need to divide the skin of an unkilled bear”). I am sure that if I work hard on the game and on myself, then sooner or later there will be big wins. Good luck in your games.

My plans are just to keep playing, and my hope is that regulated online poker is made legal nationwide in the United States.

Really just playing for enjoyment and the social aspect - but love the competitive juices and the mental challenges side effects.

The plan is to go to the end! In the end it will cost you your life anyway. So may the path be incredible!

My plan is this: reach the limit NL50, gain a foothold at this limit. Then try to play MTT with a buy-in of 10 dollars

I am hoping for a big win instead of freerolls and microstakes. This week I have freeroll satellite'd to a $250 ticket for next week, so here's hoping.

My plan is to play tournaments as long as I enjoy them, and hope to one day come in first place at a live one. I've had my share of second places but really really want to win one. :)

My greatest achievement, and the best game I have ever played, was at South Point in Vegas on my birthday trip earlier this year. There ended up being a total of 227 people and it paid to 30th place.

When it began at 11am I ordered a grapefruit juice, as I normally start out with one in morning tournaments, and for the next five hours that is the last drink I ordered. It isn't that I wasn't thirsty, I didn't order another because for most of the tournament I didn't think that I'd be around when the waitress came back with my order.

I just patiently played my game and also re-entered one time. When it got down to around fifty or sixty players remaining I was pretty much down to having enough for the big blind and ante when my turn came around. I played patiently and chose my spots and in the end I came in 27th which was the second of the payout levels. As of now that is definitely the best game I've ever played, and the one I am most proud of. :)

After cashing in I took care of my thirst problem with two scotch and sodas at one of the bars. :)

Of course, the biggest goal is to turn a hobby into a job, a source of income. But if this doesn’t happen, at least I’m having fun and not letting my brain “stagnate” - that’s also not bad :D

There are no poker plans, perhaps poker will throw them up, since once playing online poker I got to a real poker festival in Madrid in 2020. Now it seems just fantastic. You just need to play and you can make plans all your life.

My big goal is to make some decent money in the Sunday million. I have placed in that tourney before, but I would like to make at least five thousand dollars.

Already got my first 4-digits win (in a freeroll, lol), also participated in a quiz TV show earlier this year with similar prize won!
My next goal is 5-digits win somehow - live or online, does not matter ...

I really love playing poker and the only expectation I have is to enjoy it. If I had a goal it would be to get a little better each day. However this is not the case!

I hope to keep playing poker on a weekly basis- maybe attempt a few mid range tournaments.
Everything in moderation! 🥳🙏

My plans are to continue studying and improving day by day to achieve my great dream, which is to be a professional poker player and to be able to live on what I love, which is to play and play the biggest tournaments in the world.
