blonde poker forum

I am trying to set some for myself at the moment and was wondering what if any people are setting for themselves. Mine are very small compared to some people on this forum but they are going to be something like this.

1) Beat $25nl cash games on Pokerstars on both NLHE and PLO
2) Beat the micro stake 180 man sitngos on pokerstars
3) Play a DTD Deepstack
4) Win an APAT event

What are the goals of other people. I am going to use this thread to keep up to date how I am doing on these if I can to keep my motivation going.

Sure ive seen this somewhere else :D

Goals for 2013:
- Become more / maintain confidence
- 5 Figure score (Has eluded me by ~$500)
- Supernova on stars
- $50K+ profits on stars (have a brilliant work ethic now, especially when compared to previous therefore this should easily be achievable unless i hit a monster downswing).
- Improve (Currently receiving online MTT coaching sessions twice a week so hopefully will work out).
- Build my own bankroll (am currently staked and have a v small roll in relation to what games i feel i should be playing)

gl with your goals :)

make it to 2014.

This

Would like to build a roll to play local 50p/£1 Cash Games comfortably. Would also like to win lots of money playing MTTs :)

Must be nice to be so good at the pokers you know you'll win and therefore all you have to do is not chop your limbs off in the meantime.

:D

Mine will be on my blog at years end but will be something like
- get to 100nl and have a 100k hand sample above 1bb/100
- have a solid live cash roll for playing £1/2 games (30bi minimum)
- have a solid live tournament roll for an abi of £300 (50bi minimum)
- have been to Gibraltar for a week long training camp with Pleno
- have been to Vegas

Get drunk at DTD a few times and have a few good nights out down there.

Yeah but this is a poker forum so might get some response

Is the 100K hand sample, 100K hands at 100nl?

Basically to stick to the stringent BRM requirements I have now, because I should be fine if I do so. When I don't, it's murky waters.

600 buy ins rule for online tourns, bashing out 60 a night should make me ok, before I was on 200 buy ins and it was mental.

Not play roulette

Ha, yes - no limbs accidently cut off in 2012 - Winnnnnnnnnnning

I actually had 7/12 losing months this year, don't wanna do that next year, bad for morale

Aren't we supposed to be surviving 21/12/12 first?!  ;)

- Cash a deepstack.
- Start getting some sort of regular online playing time instead of random binges currently.
- Continue winning playing live cash games.
- Play/Cash/Win a UKIPT.

Win a trophy

yeah true but gonna stick to small tourneys in manchester.

I think I can win 20 Live MTTs next year

Drink more play less

Aim for 2nd place finish

Avoid huge equity beats.

 rotflmfao

Get Vinny to pay for a meal    ....

See Chompy play heads up    ....

Regain the title of "The Poker Player in the Gascoigne Family"

Little  chance.

Nonsense. Deauville next stop, site of my favourite (read only) victory.

If smashedagain relocated to Morocco he'd still be getting the lot. Horses for courses innit.

lol. I'd probably be buried in the desert somewhere

Don't tempt me.

Speaking of which, anyway we can tempt you into playing your game?

I think a DTD Monte Carlo is on the cards at some point. All being well, updaters found etc, I'd love to play that

:) good on ya.

When is that, can you imagine the rail on here with Tighty running deep :-)

Triple Crown.

Might as well be ambitious I suppose.

Will start with WPT Dublin on 3rd Jan :-)

That's a national WPT, not an actual one. Sorry to start your years attempt on a negative :(

was it A national last year when Dave won it?

no, it's been changed to a national, not an "official WPT" as far as I know. Last year was a WPT Main

I think all WPT's should be 10k and then anything under be a "national" need to keep em prestigous if people are to give a fuck about winning one, not that it affects me too much as i play 1 every 18 months lol i think having lots of smaller buyin ones in diff countries is a good idea as well :)

I only have one goal for 2013, and that is to try and keep any winnings (if any lol) from poker, for more than 2 weeks!!

It's a massive headache, anyone can learn poker and become a better player, that's the easy part imho, the discipline/self control of it is a whole different kettle of fish altogether.

Hopefully the monster on my shoulder will finally disappear forever!

Been grinding medium buy in live tournaments for the last two years. I hope 2013 can be the year I make the step up to the bigger buy ins but its easier said than done.

So I'll start with some positive thinking exercises.

Aim to push myself to play as frequently as possible. No goals as such just try and enjoy each session/tournament and get a good level of consistency. Each journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Best of luck to each of you in 2013 see you at the table's.

To four bet once with a hand worse than Aces

Well, 2012 was pretty good to me in poker terms, I achieved some of my longterm goals like playing more DTD Deepstacks and cashed in a couple but the cashes were pretty min.

For 2013

Run seriously deep in a DTD Deepstack
Play some of the other tour events - GPS, GUKPT, UKIPT - and make the money so my Hendon Mob has an entry without
the letters DTD on it
Play more APAT events and learn to play with a drink in my hand :)
Continue to enjoy myself at the poker table

and finally, with an eye to the thought that lightning rarely strikes twice**, let alone thrice and beyond...

Run deep (FT) any GP that DTD may run (hopefully there will be a Golden Chip reward attached again)


** but try telling Roy Sullivan that!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan

Damn! Not going now...

Maybe it's the poker gods way of telling me to re-think my goals for 2013! Ha

wouldn't let my revelation dissuade you from winning a triple corwn though, still obviously an excellent thing to do :D

Work hard, more hand analysis - on Hem and with friends on skype/ here/ 2p2.

Play at least 2 mil hands. Possibly gonna attempt supernova elite, not decided yet.... might start a blog for motivation.

Move up to 500nl 6max zoom at some point.
