blonde poker forum

Here we go guys :)

Post em up and give ourselves something not to get ribbed about in a years time :)

[ ] Don't suck for at least 10 months of the year
[ ] $200K+ in online profits
[ ] Supernova VIP level on Pokerstars
[ ] Break into the top 200 according to P5's rankings
[ ] Play at least one live MTT major (ie WSOP ME or EPT London)
[ ] 1 final table in a £200 - £1100 live MTT (anticipated super low 'volume')
[ ] Play at least 1000 MTT on sites other than Pokerstars
[ ] Maintain a better life/work balance

Why do you not want to do any of those things? They seem like great ideas

erm obviously he's going to tick them off when he does them.

GL sir! Have a great year.

1. 7 figure year online.

2. min cash a comp live

(1 being far more likely than 2)

yh drawing pretty thin for #2 imo.

wanna have a comedy race to a first live poker cash railtarrrrrrrrd?

Planning to focus on live play for 2012.  Want to find the love for it again to be honest.  Online play has spoilt me by being far too comfortable, being able to turn people's chat off and without experiencing other people's poor hygiene etc.

Sounds like you have a lot going on there Montez. Would be pretty interested to see how you get on with all these. Why don't you get yourself a blogspot/wordpress/diary on blonde?

Odds on who's gonna be the first new diaryist of 2012?

I thought this was a thread for the lactose intolerant.

1. Survive 1st year of playing poker full time, making atleast $50k
2. Play alot more live tournies
3. Be playing 5/10 hunl by the end of the year
4. Start playing 6m cash aswell
5. Eat healthier, my diet atm is probs about as bad as it could be
6. Prove to family that i can make more money and be happier than previous job and im not just gambling my life away

GL Todd.

Will post up laterz.

I presume me you mean prize money rather than profit? I know you a sicko but that would be a stretch surely?!

Aims

Run good and win at poker
Cash in an event with buy in of more than £1k
Don't start the year with a £15k downswing

good luck all

I am not nearly a good enough writer to make 300 days of 'I got up, went downstairs and grinded for 12 hours and lost bout tree fiddy' interesting :)

wahey!

[ ] Acquire money.

1mill hands!? AND play more live? AND spend 1-2 months in vegas?

That's some target.

The exercise is the tough part imo.

Couldn't even put any aims up myself to go for.

There is an argument they are unhealthy as you can early on, get quite disillusioned and lose focus, better to do all you can be doing in the prep and then let the results take care of themselves.

But i guess having good general goals and volume goals are good. It really messed me up having profit goals just to let everyone else in on that. Good bankroll management and game selection with a lack of focus on profit goals is how i am starting to turn around the stuttering ship.

Hope we all have a great year.
