I think that looking at your accomplishments and setting new goals is key to becoming the player that you want to be. I just finished my first full year of online poker and I have come a long way...

I bought on for $30 as a broke student in Dec 04, I started at the $25 NL tables and learned more in my first 3 months of online poker than I had in my previous 4 years of playing.

Currently my total earnings from poker is about $3500. I have won a MTT, gone up to the 100NL tables and can hold a 45% ITM rate in SnGs. I would say that the past year has been successful...

My goals for the next year include winning a major MTT...at least a few k for 1st hopefully, move up to the 200NL, and pay my tuition next year. I have a trip to vegas in a few days and hopefully it will be the start of a great year...
