Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: GreekStein on January 01, 2009, 03:05:59 PM 2008 has been a bit of a mixed year for me. I've had some big spin ups but my bankroll management has been terrible and I decided just before the new year that I'm going to start afresh. I need to learn that 10 buy ins is not sufficient as a cash roll.
So goals for 2009: To start a blog. To come to a blonde bash. Would be good to put a face to all the names. To play the Greek Poker Championships again at DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/). To play the monthly £200 freezeout at the Big Slick Club more often and their £2/5 cash when it runs. (I swear to god this has to be the softest place to play poker in the world. Even the regs who play day in day out are still clueless). Play one leg of the GUKPT. For me the most important thing really is to learn how to manage a bankroll. This year I have had several +£2/3k nites but I lose two or three buy ins or get a bad beat and go on monkey tilt and play roulette or blackjack etc. I think this year I have won roughly £15k playing poker but with my degen donk offs its been a break even year on the poker front. Hopefully starting a blog will keep me in check. Edit: If any bloggers can pm me a link to get started on my blog that would be appreciated. cheers. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Indestructable on January 01, 2009, 03:10:57 PM To play in an APAT event.
Reclaim the Blonde Bash Heads up title. To enjoy playing poker in 2009 as much as I did in 2008. 8) Of course a nice win would be nice as well. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: cia260895 on January 01, 2009, 03:13:59 PM am going to target a 10k win
should be poss as soon as i learn to raise with 26 o/s on the button instead of limping ;) Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: RED-DOG on January 01, 2009, 04:24:17 PM To pluck up courage to analyse a PHA post and then have Flushy say "Correct Tom, that's what I would do too"
Lol. Not really. I'm going for something achievable, like winning an EPT. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: easypickings on January 01, 2009, 04:24:59 PM 1) Cash somewhere that is not London or Luton. It won't be a good year without adding two new random flags on my Hendon Mob results.
2) Get one sick re-suckout. Just one. A set under set that turns into quads in the river, something like that. 3) Get at least two internet players to declare their love for live poker. Dan Carter and Flushy will start the year as the main targets for no 3). 4) Get Jon Butters on my table for the whole day, and natter so relentlessly that he has drunk himself into despair by the end of it. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Thekellster89 on January 01, 2009, 05:49:23 PM learn bankroll management, that is all

If you watched all the blonde bash clips of the karaoke night, you will realise that you have a FYP As for my poker goals: 1. Continue to build-up my roll playing at DTD, and hopefully to a level that means I can play the 1/2 game consistently. 2. Reach a final table at a live APAT event (a win would be nice ldo). 3. Learn how to play omaha properly. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Graham C on January 01, 2009, 07:32:52 PM Build some sort of bankroll up and not quit everytime I start out with something
Play more live games inc APAT and hopefully qualify for a larger buy in live event Improve to a better standard, I've been donking around my level since I started pretty much, I need to improve and become a regular winner. I'd like to be the Moorman of the lower stakes tourneys, but I guess that's one hell of an ambition. Need to get better in 09 though, this has to be a year of improvement. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: The_duke on January 01, 2009, 08:17:10 PM continue to enjoy myself
continue to meet and greet people at social poker gatherings continue to play within my means (important as i'm shite at this poker lark) continue to go to as many live APAT events as possible (accompanied by the "destroyer" of course (son of duke)) Continue to stake son of Duke (he has a good game and I have 50% of him -- should be a good year) Continue to be tolerant, sober, quiet and reserved over and out Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: sovietsong on January 01, 2009, 08:22:23 PM I'd like to learn one magic trick every week.

Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Jon MW on January 01, 2009, 08:23:48 PM I've found I'm much better at working out what my goals were for the year, after it's gone.
So my main goal for 2008 was to get an APAT gold - this was achieved (albeit a regional rather than a national one) I shall work out what my goals were for 2009 around about this time next year.

For blonde Poker to survive. Ugh, in your honest opinion how likely is blonde to go under in 09'? Perhaps I should have said "to survive and prosper" It's a real battle, that's for sure, currently and as we all know the overall economic environment both for our corporate clients/potential sponsors/potential advertisers and our members/players is exceedingly tough (that's as far as I am gonig to answer!) Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: jakally on January 02, 2009, 12:04:20 AM Rich, For many businesses, the 'prosper' bit can wait for another time - surviving the next 12 months or so will likely be an achievement. Good luck, and keep reminding us how we can do our bit. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: riverdave on January 02, 2009, 08:15:05 AM Well 2008 was a real mixed bag for me live was on the whole a huge success, won the £500NL at the vic no chop ditto the Norweigian PLO. Made first GUKPT ME final in Thanet although disappointing 5th. Also had a 10th in WSOP in Vegas and made first WSOP final table in the PLO in London. Vegas poker wise other than that was 6 weeks of hell and torture which equalled first losing and cut short trip in 3 years. 25 other MTTs and single tables without a cash adds up and after having done $14k trying to win a $10k ME seat and bubbling the final live multi the night before i couldn't take any more. I somehow owned blackjack for most of the trip which led to comped suites and poker almost becoming secondary but it's a game i'd quite happily never play again. I also crushed 2/5 and 5/10 PLO around town but dumped off those winnings and the BJ ones in the 25/50/100 game in the Rio to the Texan Tag Team which was nice.
Finished the year European No.1 in PLO and i think No.5 overall. Online was mostly an unmitigated disaster. Crushed the online PLO MTTs but my OPR shows my first ever losing year in NLH MTTs on Stars, only -1% ROI but in terms of effort and time FML. Did my brains chasing Supernova on Stars that was fun might do it again, mostly $25/$50 PLO spins gone wrong, plus side was i played a hell of a lot of HU NL and PLO sit and go's and turned my sharkscope around from a massive fail to a slightly smaller fail . Had one huge spinup on Full Tilt whilst in the well on here some of which made it's way to Vegas with me but apart from that i'd be a rich man if i got back 10% of the money i lost on there over the course of the year. Started with Bad Beat in September mostly for PLO cash and had a massively successful first 6 weeks winning $100k then went on a sick downer that saw me do $75k back in 3 weeks, last couple of weeks of the year saw a return to minor winning ways. Goals for 2009 Make another WSOP final table in any game Win a PLO bracelet Win a GUKPT ME Play some more EPT's and make an FT Start winning or relearn how to win online again overall or quit and get a job Return to building from small $ online and not reinvesting large chunks of offline winnings particularly on FT Sattellite into every major event i can online F**k the European rankings Start exercising again and lose about 2 stone Not do any more Cardplayer interviews for Barry Carter cos it was an almighty bokk!

Better 2nd half of the year once I realised that chasing was fastrack to knowhere and starting again was the only thing to do - Still a losing year overall though due first half antics.
Goals for 2009.. - Concentrate on online cash NLHE, 2.5k hands a week until I can learn to multi table lol, minimum 3 Deuces Cracked Vids a week, more review of hands played. - Make sure any online MTT played is not for more than 2% of my current bankroll - Play more live poker than I did in 2008 (wouldn't be difficult) - Enjoy it Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: lucky_scrote on January 02, 2009, 01:46:17 PM Become more of a grinder online.
Be even better at game selection than before. Win 500 buyins at 5/10nl HU. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Maxriddles on January 02, 2009, 07:07:17 PM Play more meaningful stakes even if it means playing less often. I play too frequently at levels where there is no hurt in losing and no great financial incentive to play my best game.
Do some reading on the game. I have been playing just under two years and have never read a single book on the game. Play more live poker. Play as many APAT Nationals as Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: vegaslover on January 02, 2009, 07:15:17 PM Play live

Play in the DTD £300 (might require staking for this) Win another APAT National, and be in contention for Season winner. Get back to Vegas and run good. Play more satellites for bigger tournaments. I know i can do it. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: AlexMartin on January 03, 2009, 01:21:57 PM win 1500 buyins at 200nl

Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: the sicilian on January 07, 2009, 02:10:43 PM For Chompy to win something worth winning so he stops going on about my own fantastic record...
Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Matt50 on January 07, 2009, 03:42:46 PM The first 6 months of 2008 was great for me, lots of final tables and 1 very nice score - enough to pay for a family holiday and new t.v.
The second 6 months were plain awful - cant remember the last time i finalled in a decent tourney and bankroll is now at an absolute minimum. Need to find that winning formula again, build a decent roll and push on from there. Live, i want to make another visit to DTD to play the £300, had a great time in October and plan on doing it at least once again this year. Sat into a GUKPT ME or other $1000+ buy-in tourney Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: JungleCat03 on January 07, 2009, 04:04:52 PM 1. Improve at poker, particularly my deep stacked poker game. Seeing as I play so little on PS and FT, that is the way forward.
2. Play more live poker. Play a GUKPT. 3. Learn a new skill. 4. Get good at playing guitar. 5. Study more about ancient Egypt. 6. Bust Flushy then stake him for 5$ Stts. 7. Get fit/ stay fit. Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: MKKfish on January 07, 2009, 04:19:06 PM 6. Bust Flushy then stake him for 5$ Stts. Euphemism imo Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Claw75 on January 23, 2009, 09:42:10 AM well, things are going to be very different for me this year, so will my poker. I will soon be leaving my current job in return for a pay off. I'll be kicking things off with a trip to Vegas, where it will be good if I can make a bit of cash playing poker, if not, then so be it!
I will also be putting some money aside to use as a live poker bankroll, and I'll be looking to play more seriously (as well as enjoying it still, hopefully) and trying to sustain a steady profit to put towards any earnings I make temping or whatever. I didn't play online much in 2008, but have had a few results on stars over the last couple of months giving me a fairly healthy bankroll to work with there, so i'll be trying to turn a steady profit on there too. My biggest goal this year is going to be keeping my bankroll managed and not playing the odd £250-£300 game when I'm not rolled for them just because I fancy it - but I will try to sat in to a few events. good luck me!

Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: Royal Flush on January 23, 2009, 12:50:47 PM Have being trying to decide on mine for ages, this is all i could come up with:
Waste less time playing live Use my time away from poker better, i.e. holidays rather than just bumming around at home Play more volume! Last year i only managed just over 1100 MTT's i want to hit at least 2500 but hopefully 3k+ this year As a side to that make the top 50 on pocketfives rankings Oh and finally, less sports betting (like that will happen) Title: Re: 2009 poker goals/ambitions Post by: maccol on January 23, 2009, 03:17:09 PM well, things are going to be very different for me this year, so will my poker.
