Totally sucks, I put my goals post in the micro section and that isn't archived as well I guess.

I am a bit short currently on the money goal, but it will be a close race, I'm gonna need some good solid days but I have some unplanned vacations coming up. I'm still very happy and accomplished or passed some I never thought I would.

Re: How\'d you do on your 2005 poker goals?
 

As always, a gambler is never happy. I wanted to play a lot of live tournaments, and play regualrly above $15/$30. Well, I played a few tournaments - cashed in a few, but overall barely broke even.

As for live game (and online), I played some higher limit NL (up to $10/$25 blind live) and did fine. However, after starting well at $30/$60, I took a few wild rides - all downhill. Thirty-sixty and me, not very good company.

I should be happy, but I always want more. Good luck to everybody in the last 5 weeks of the year.

ive been pretty down in the mouth about failing miserably at putting in hours since the summer, but at the beginning of 2005 i didnt expect to be where i am now so maybe i accomplishmed my goals.

Re: How\'d you do on your 2005 poker goals?
 

Right where I wanted to be in terms of everything. This year surpassed my expectations in everyway.

However I am not happy about it. As I have learned so much since January, I realise now, my expectations were too low.


This next year will be very interesting. I am not quite sure how to set goals this year.

Your realistic goal was 50k, your ambitious goal was 80k. Did you succeed?

1. Quit other gambling games and sports betting.

Well I did other gambling, but down $30k on sports betting =) though I haven't bet them in last two months.

2. Tilt less.

Almost the same, 3-4 tilt sessions this year.

3. Care less about money.

No way, I'm actually caring more about it because I began saving money for house & other stuff.

4. Enjoy more about poker.

No, I still hate this game.


5. Do enough(5k/month) from sit n gos and tournaments.

Switched back to playing mostly NL in early february and after that I have done way over my goal.

6. Win one big tournament, 1st prize >$50k

So far the biggest tournament win is $13000. But I will play some big live tournaments in December aswell as the usual online tournaments.
So maybe..

I'm honing in on $80K which was my goal for 2005. My goal for 2006 is $105K for online and B&M play combined.

Re: How\'d you do on your 2005 poker goals?
 

My goal for the year was to pay off about $20k of college debt that just wouldn't go away by multi-tabling the party $3/6.

Well I did that, and I funded two expensive holidays, and spent a boat load more money, and I've been now running good at $20/40. Over-acheiving rules [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
