Your Poker Goals for 2007

[Royal Flush]

I am going to Aruba.  I don't care if I have to sell my car.

If you sell your car how will you travel to Aruba?

Be aware, you could be falling foul of the trade descriptions act if you describe it as a car.

My main aim for 2007 is to cash atleast once in one of the bigger DTD live tournies without killing my bankroll trying!

[I, Zimbra]

Main goals for 2007:

-- Move up a level (profitably) in STTs. I take things real slow with regard to increasing levels, but I feel the time might just be right to advance.

-- Qualify for a proper live freezeout tourney in the UK, just once. Don't much mind where. Grosvenor UK Tour would be great, though.

-- Win a "comma" in a MTT. I got pretty close towards the end of last year with 3rd in the (then) "$5k  Guaranteed" $18 Rebuy (8pm) Grand Final on Tribeca, before the thing went nuts with 500+ entries every day, but that only got me $930-odd, still my biggest single cash to date. This year my best has been the $800 I won in the Blonde/Bowmans Added Value Sunday tourney, just before they changed the payout scheme.

Ticking those off my list would be fantastic, but really (like most other responses I see on here) a year of consistent profit is what I expect to achieve.

I only learnt to play this February so my goals for next year are very much based on going one step up from what I've achieved this year.

Achievements in 2006:
   (1)  Learnt how to play the HORSE games,
   (2)  Won online a few HE MTT's and lots of HE STT's, also a couple of HORSE and HOSE STT's
   (3)  Will have entered (by the end of the year) about a dozen live tournaments - highest placing 2nd.

Ambitions for 2007:
   (1)  Learn 2 or 3 more poker variants,
   (2)  Actively work on my HE cash game, aim for at least a money finish in an Omaha, a Stud and in a Razz tournament,
   (3)  Enter more live tournaments and obviously aim for a live win.

I'm only looking ahead to the first 3 months and my main goal is to play in the ept final.  I played in it last year, but was working then so could afford the dent in my bankroll.

I will have been full time for 5 months by that time, so I will have to assess how I'm getting on.  If I'm not making enough online to comfortably play the bigger live events, I might look for paid employment so that I don't have bankroll concerns.  Winning a big one is really my overall goal, so I've got to be able to play in them.

I think you missed a trick there, monkeyboy... you should have told me to ask sofa king if he has any going spare

[byronkincaid]

ok so I had an idea....


2007 is fast approaching and I wondered what your poker goals are for next year....

whether you play online/live or both, whether its recreational, semi-pro, pro, whether its cash/STT/MTT/mixture..what are you looking to achieve?


Be realistic please, what would represent success for you?


off to work out my answer!

Should be an awesome post if you've been working on it for so long. Looking forward to it.

[TightEnd]

I forgot Byron!


simple really....

continue to win consistently at 2-4 having started 2006 at 1-2 with a view to competing at 5-10 in 2007.

step up STT play and try to have the discipline and time management to play online MTTs properly rather than half heartedly.

in the live arena, continue to win enough in the small regular local comps to fund bigger festival events entirely out of those proceeds, as in 2006

having done so, make money in festival comps such that playing an EPT is a realistic aim. In 2006 I had two main event final tables and one festival side event victory. I'd like to beat that.

Do Vegas, which means having a proper shot at satellite qualification for the WSOP

Aside from playing, I have:

APAT to continue to help grow and succeed,

my poker and sports writing to continue,

my book to get a publisher for,

and blonde modding will, as long as tikay wishes me to do so, no doubt continue to be a big part of my poker life.
 
and a couple of other poker business projects on the horizon/just beginning

In my spare time I hope to get some sleep!!

2007-

Put a bit more effort into my game, so my hobby can pay for some fun in Vegas

Learn Omaha

[Swordpoker]

I'm not that interested in success. I just want to be moderate and tick over the way I've always done.
