-Avg 55hrs a month...I'd like to do twice that, but life's demands make 55hrs a challenge.

-Make 2x 2005's dollars. Should be tough, playing less hours.

-Be playing 30/60 by year end. Should be a stretch, but who knows... I could run hot....

-Continue reading more poker books. I have been doing this a lot more of this recently, and I feel this has helped pyschologically and from a stimulation perspective.

-I'd like to play a few more tourneys in 06 than I did in 05, but this will have to be the last goal on my list as time is a real limiting factor.

-Post more hands, maybe one a week would keep me in a rhythm.

-Keep enjoying.

-Don't waste money on low MTT's that I don't concentrate in.
-Learn to play more than two tables at once in 6 Max.
-Be playing 20/40 by end of the year.
-Stop spewing money on BJ, Omaha etc.
-Read more books of course.
-Qualify for a big tourney, or build a roll to buy into one.

1) Start and complete Project X. (What is Project X? The first rule of Project X is, you don't talk about Project X. Oops.)

2) Become tiltless.

3) Between #1 and #2, become a 3BB/100 winner at 20/40, and a +EV player at 30/60 through 50/100 by the end of year, even if it requires coaching.

Some new blood is needed to biggest online games, naturally that means I'm going to be the next young guy from North to destroy 300/600.
So far I have played only 20/40 and 30/60 and somehow managed to lose 300 big bets in them. Must be bad luck.
I have some leaks in game still, but I have figured out some good stuff so it won't be long till I hit the 100/200 level and it's all uphill from there on

- Destroy 20/40 games for 3BB+/100 for 40k hands in January
- Start playing 50/100 and 100/200 in February.
- 300/600 by April

Well I'm gonna be a senior this year and a busy one at that but here's some goals:

- Complete a damn good honors research project
- Visit my friends in Cali and scope out some grad schools
- Read more
- Read and contribute to this forum (which is the [censored])
- Help my friend progress with his poker game

No hourly or money goals- I just wanna play when I can and continue to enjoy it like I do.
