2006 SNG Goals
 

I've seen these threads pop up on several other forums, but this is forum most relevant to my goals.

So post your 2006 goals, and maybe we can periodically do updates to monitor our progress:

My goals:

Move from $11 --> $33
Improve post-flop game
New monitor for 4-tabling
2007 Party Cruise and/or 2007 Atlantis (qualify in 2006 - and obviously the "dream" goal)

1819 Off-Topic Posts wasn't even a good warm-up...I'm going for 3000 in 2006 [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]And I'm going to use more emoticons [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

And I wanna met more 2+2'er's....Maybe Yugo is the exception [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Reach the $215s, profit batch, and maybe even get the BR together for a go at the mini steps towards the end of the year if all goes well

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Move from the 11s to the 55's
improve the pushbot
new monitors as well
and up my cash game from nl 100 to nl 400

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

I want to find that gay sailor and kick his ass. No seriously

In order.

1.Rebuild my bankroll (again!)

2.successfully 4 table $22's ( i'm a great 2 tabler but I suck at 4 or more)

3.Cash out everything over 50 buy ins at $22 and stay there for a nice long while and improve my play rather than move up. This I believe is why I so often have to rebuild my bankroll.

4. Work on removing tilt as a major factor in most downswings.

Straight Flushes,

SAM

PS I know this post is going to be all happy go lucky I hope I make another 200k from the $215's, but I'm hoping some of you will man up and let us know what weaknesses you plan to improve in 2006

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Hmmm

Keep lobbying stars to add a $70 6-handed seeing as how I can't move up in this structure from the $35s. Failing that, maybe readjust my game and go to the 9-handed $55s. Maintain or improve slightly my current ROI and ITM% at the $35s, which I feel are fairly close to as good as I can do at this limit.

Become a better player.

Make more thoughtful contributions to the strategy discussions on this forum.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

1. Improve my postflop play. I suck at postflop.

2. Improve my heads up play. I suck at heads up.

3. Move from the 22's to at least the 55's.

4. Average at least 100 SNGs a week.

4. $20,000 profit.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Continue 8 tabling the $33's but by end of year be mainly $55's. Still play my 1-2 multi tables a week and at least 100 SNG a week. I went out and bought 5 subject notebook, want to keep records of every session I play even if it is just ten minutes at 5-10.

- move up to $50+5 by the end of July, and venture into $100+9 by the end of year

I don't make enough playing poker to buy either, so it doesn't really matter...

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

To have a profit graph like Skipper's first 100, and slay the abonimable snowman so it keeps that way for the next 10,000.

Aside from that, moving up from the $55s to the $109s, then getting a new monitor and trying to 8-table starting back at the $22s. Also I wanna start learning how to play MTTs and ring games well.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

1) move up to the 215's
2) Win one MTT a month
3) $50K profit

Pretty good chance I'm moving out to Southern California in June to go pro, so none of these will be a problem at all.

Okay, okay.....lay a guilt trip on us. Now I'm forced to be honest. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I also plan to rebuild my bankroll. I did some stupid things with it in 2005 and now I'm back down to the $6.50s. That's okay, though, because I have leaks and I really should go into "start over" mode. This is why I'm not bummed.

The leaks: Booze. I get home, have a few beers while doing chores around the house, have a few more before, during, and after dinner, and by the time I fire up the laptop to play a few sets, I'm good and buzzed. Must stop that.

Taking shots: I have to get a grip on this "take a shot" mentality. Many things have killed my bankroll, but one in particular has been from taking shots at 55s and 109s when I have absolutely no business even being there, yet. Fixing the leak above may help this one, now that I think about it.

Concentration: What was I saying again? Oh yeah, concentration. I play so mechanically that I don't pay attention until it gets close to the bubble. I always wish I had a better read on opponents and always kick myself for not paying attention earlier on. I will change that in 2006.

Study: In 2006, I vow to actually study. I'm one of the guys here who embarrassingly hasn't learned ICM. I will get all the software and use it. Pokertracker is the exception. I've had that for a couple years now, but don't use it to its fullest potential. This resolution would include actively looking at my HHs and replaying games to find stupid mistakes.

Lastly, by this time next year, I hope to be playing 55s and up. I've spun my wheels at this game for way way way too long. Three years of daily play and I'm at the $6.50s. 2006 absolutely has to be the year I break out of the rut and get some discipline.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Just on a sidenote, back in February I was playing $0.50/1 limit holdem with a $200 bankroll. Then in May I set pretty high expectations for myself and met my profit goal with ease. Just to show you, there is hope after all!

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

* Read more (I have TOP in the mail from Amazon now, reread HOH2)
* Post to 2+2 when I am confused, only after exhausting my own knowledge
* Respond to 2+2 with usable/meaningful contributions
* Read Gigabet's "Almost there with Success and Failure" quarterly at least
* Better understand the math
* Thoroughly conceptualize ICM
* Get to Step 3 on the MLG Evolving scale (achieving Step 4 and Step 5 take time, a year is honestly not enough time)
* Master AK
* Play my first $55 on my birthday (12/01)

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

4-6-8 table the 55's maybe move into the 109's by next year well see.

Discipline myself to play with out t.v and surfing the internet. Also Aim seems to slow me down a ton.

Improve HU games and my Bubble play more.

Listen to myself and my gut instinct more. A good % of the time its right and I kick myself when I dont.

Would like to have enough $ to go to STTF-HUC X .

Improve postflop play and get better at some NL 50.

Keep 100X Buy in so I dont have to rebuild my BR again.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Ah year is long people. IF I still play poker by the end of the year (I could be dead for all I know [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) I want to beat the $215's, 8-tabling. And play medium stakes NL cash games succesfully. Oh and travel to nice, sunny places by myself and be happy and stuff.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

1. Play 5000 SNGs, profitably, at disciplined limits that are within my bankroll.

3. Post 365 hands.

4. Stop being so results-oriented.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals

2. Stay very disciplined with money (don't blow off everything I make).

3. Move up to the 55's.

3)Never play PP BJ
4)make 100k plus including stock stuff
5)not waste it all on impulse buys...

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

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.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

Play > $6 million worth of SNGs for the year.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

I'd like to have purchased my 2 flat screens and be 10 tabling whatever SNG level/site I feel like.

My real goal is: donk my way into a final table in the 500k gaurunteed on Stars. Gotta use all those FPP's I rack up from 8-tabling to good use.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

learning to handle bad (the really ugly-bad) varience a little better. i think my progress on that has been working well and it is the biggest overall goal of mine.

Moving up is another, but i'm going to need a job/other income stream before that happens.

Re: 2006 SNG Goals
 

2005 was a good year, started at the 5 +1s on party, and worked my way up to the 60 turbos on stars. Unfortunately, the 60s have been up and down, and my overall profit on that level has been slight. So, I moved back to the 27 turbos.

For 2006:

1. Pwn the 60s and move up at least to the 200s with good, fairly consistent profitability.

2. This of course means I have to figure out what was holding me back at the 60s, which I will do.
