Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

My goals:

1. Be content at winning a nice chunk of extra cash from 8 tabling the 22's
2. Take 1 day a week away from multitabling to try and learn at higher buyin sngs and try to learn how to improve my cash game play
3. Be honest with myself and improvements needed in my game. AKA not losing my entire bankroll
4. Win the 2006 WSOP main event and maybe a WPT title or three

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

My goal is simple -- to qualify for and play in large LIVE NL Holdem' tourneys (doing well in the event is second goal.)

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

As a Goal, I would like to eliminate mistakes. I feel like my biggest mistakes are not folding when I have a good starting hand and see a flop I really don't like. I have a tough time admitting that I'm beat or that I cannot bluff the opponent out at that point.

To do this, I would like to create an error log. I'm going to make a little java proggie that allows me to make notes on each game right after I play them and analyze my results accordingly.

I think this will help my game 2-fold.
1) I think that I will be able to see what mistakes I make most often and try to eliminate them when I see them transpiring.
2) Also, as I'm playing, I know that I will be writing notes on my play afterwards and won't want to write that I made a mistake, so I will go less with my "gut" and more with the smart "+EV" play.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Make tons of money.
Move from 6-tabling the $22s to 8-tabling the $55s eventually.
Get a 2nd 2001FP (I don't care about Party Beta).
Only play poker during the summer (maybe work ~10hrs/week at my 'real' job).
Buy a cheap car ($6000 or so).
Get better at poker.

Yes, I will practice and give it a real shot, but as far as goal setting, I like to stick to realistic goals.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

maybe im on one big long heater but i've come pretty far in 6 months so i'm gonna say:

8 table 109s with a new fp2001.
stay on course for a 1st in my degree.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Make 100k off poker average 3hrs or less a day.

Shorterm goals, I enjoy HU but I highly doubt I'll get anything close to $100/hr off that. So improve the $55s/move to the $109s, and maybe start playing ring.

Win $1,000,000,000 Dollars playing Poker!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

1) Move up to the 33's, maybe the 55's(currently struggling in the 22's)
2) Win the Bodog ACC poker championship if they have it again.
3) Qualify for WSOP event
4) build a bankroll of 10k
5) Mix in some NL cash games, profitably

Started playing online about a year ago, and didn't start playing STTs seriously until the summer, so I'm hoping to improve.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

I'm at a point of inflection. If I keep my salary job I hope/expect to be in the $215s soon and my goal would be to succeed at them. If I don't, my bankroll policy will have to be much more conservative and my goal I guess would be about the same, but a little delayed. I might also try to make some money in the poker realm outside of playing if that happens, at least until I win the ME at the WSOP.For those of you thinking about warning me about how hard going pro is (the other thread), I would still have some other non-salary income and believe me I have plans B, C and D.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

My Goals for 2006...

Play online for less than 30 hours a week. This staring at a monitor thing is lame.

Play live more often.
I get a decent return at local charity tournies. Will play an average of 2 a week. Man they play strangely at these games. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Make four major trips to casinos.
Vegas twice, AC, Tunica for the long trips. Then a few to Indiana, Niagara and other local casinos.

Pay down the mortgage on some land I just bought with poker winnings. This poker money is just too good to be true, I need to turn it into something concrete before the party is over. It will be nice to say " I bought this with poker money"

I am going to shoot for $10,000 profit in 2006. I will not however let it take over my life. If my other job or my social life or my recreational life begins to suffer then I will not hesitate to rethink my goal.

I will respect the SNG's they have been my bread and butter. I will move back to party and play the 800 chippers and build a bankroll.

I will also not pass on great opportunities at the Limit games. PAHUD and game selection allows you to detect some real positive earning opportunities. When a table lights up with 40% in the flop and I can get one or two down on the waiting list I am in there even if the limit is a bit high for my BR. The flipside is that when the maniac fish leaves the table I will leave also.

Good luck to all of you on the forum.

Thanks for everything.

Might be nice to meet some of you guys but I do not drink or go to strip clubs so... all we would have is poker.

Maybe I should rethink my goals...
LEARN TO DRINK
MORE LAP DANCES
STRIPPERS STRIPPERS STRIPPERS

Maybe I can get a 2+2er to coach me on the new goals.
Nah I am happy being a puritan poker player.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

My lame goals,

33's by febuary of next year
55's by the end of summer
Win a buy in at a live event (Eroupe would be sick)
Continue to improve my play by posting and responding on 2+2
Im getting HoH 1&amp;2 for christmas so I'm assuming that should help my play.

Ajea

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

I didn't read all the replies. No one is going to read mine - and that's fine. It's more here to keep ME honest and to look up in a year and see how i'm doing.

1) Go from current 4-table $11 SNGs to 4-table at least $22s.
2) Win and MTT with more than 30 people in it. Even if it's a $10 R&amp;A.
3) Purchase PT and start using it (please don't kick me. At least not HARD ...)
4) Play a LIVE MTT or two.
5) Try to get into some of the bigger MTT's via qualifiers.
6) Read, post, think, learn, improve

Re-read - ToP, HoH I and II, SSH, TPFAP. Get some more books.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Well I spent my entire bankroll and I'm going to be going to school full-time now so I should keep it reasonable but I won't.

Solely for SnGs?
Rebuild my roll and add a monitor. Be 12 tabling 100s and 6max 55s within 10 months.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Become a feared 109 player and move up to the 215s. By feared, I mean I want other players to see me at the table and not want to sit down because of it. I also want to win everytime I get my money in ahead. That's all.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Stop playing SNGs.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

This year I made about 10K from poker and whoring.

Next year I want to earn 10 K from the tables. I will start playing successfully the 55s within 4 months.

I will make less boners per tourneys.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Haven't posted on 2+2 in a while (and hardly ever in this forum). Where I am now: I 2-table $109s. I make about $15/game so a bit better than $30/hour. Oh, and I'm a student (returning, I'm 32) and poker is currently my only income. Goals:

1. Play 15-20 hours/week (30-40 SnGs) while school is in session, and 30-40 when it is not.

2. Make 40-50K, enough to pay the rent, tuition, expenses, and hopefully buy another monitor, as well as build my bankroll up to the point where I can:

3. Step back up to the $215s. I used to play those, but I got careless and a bit lazy when I quit my job to go back to school. Pretty much I was only playing ~10 hours/week and that just isn't going to get it done.

4. If I can get another monitor, see if I can 3-4 table when I can actually have 4 tables on screen at once. I can't even completely fit 2 on this little thing.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

-play more MTT's and polish that game up
-be in vegas from start to finish of WSOP and play within my bankroll for the entire time i am there
-play at the SNG level where i will be most profitable and be the happiest, not the level at which my ego wants to be playing at
-always be improving
-convince unarmed to take me on as a 'macking' student

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

• Move up to the $55's as soon as 2006 starts (I doubt I'll fail this).
• Move up to the $109's somewhere around summer.
• Buy a 50" HDTV + PS3 from poker profits.
• Stop taking loans and start paying my education with poker only.
• Play at least 2x9 SNGs every day at least 25 days each month.
• Get confortable playing 9 sngs continously.

That is all, thank you.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

-Slowly move from $22s to $55s.
-Do more multitabling and get better at it.
-Play more MTT tournaments.
-Win MTT with more than 45 players.
-Play more satellites to big Sunday tournament.
-Play my first double-shootout to WSOP.
-Average $250/month without playing more than 10 hours per week.
-Continue to improve through reading, using this forum and playing.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

It looks like everyone on here is going to try to move to the $55's, so I guess I'll have to leave the $55's and get back to the $215's.

Main goal.... don't do anything stupid like quitting poker for almost a year like I did last year.

I've been back to playing the $55's every night for the last 2 months and can't figure out why I left in the first place. I will definately be back to the 215's by the end of the year.

2nd goal is to play many more MTT's. They are my favorite, but need to make the time to play them.

I just started playing this past fall, so I am a noob. I have lurked like crazy on 2+2. I've read a ton, and am building the bankroll.

So...

1) Continue learning. read through the hands posted on here, and get the nerve to post my own hands. Keep learning.

2) Focus on gaining experience and building a bank roll. Avoid temptation to move up quickly.

3) Be more disciplined when playing. Focus on the table, even when I'm out of the hand (I tend to drift once I fold). Watch how the rest of the table is playing.

4) PLay in a few of the big entry, large field events (through satellite quailfying). Maybe good finish the PS 180SNG.

5) Invest in some tools like SNGPT. Study.

6) PLay solid poker.
