Goals for the summer

[Nick Royale]

Have anyone put up a "Goals for the summer"-post yet? Haven't seen one, so I hope this will be the first.

I'm going back living with my parents over the summer, working at the postal service. This means I need to put some goals for the summer so my poker won't be suffering. I won't have access to broad band internet which changes my goals somewhat. Actually I think I will only benefit from a couple of months away from BB internet, as long as I can follow my goals, since it will give me a chance to fill some serious blanks what it comes to poker litterature. You won't see me much at the forums though.

Poker litterature (in order of importance):
- Theory of poker (have yet only read the first 100 pages)
- Psychology of Poker (have yet only read the first 2 pages)
- Middle Limit Hold'em Poker (first reading)
- Poker Articles by Jason Pohl about shorthanded poker from pokerpages.com.
- Internet Texas Hold'em: Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro (first reading)
- Real Poker II: The Play of the Hands (first reading)
- Poker Essays II (first reading)
If I still have time left at the end of the summer I will re-read SSHE, somehow I doubt I will [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Poker playing:
- Still I will try to play at least 5k hands/month. To keep my game in shape.

Work:
- Try to NOT quit my job at the postal service.

Studies:
- I have at least 1 missed exam I need to study for. More likely I will have 2 in just a couple of days. And 3 by the end of next week [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] (this is something I blame on poker, but those 1-3 exams need to be done after the summer so this is actually priority 1)

Exercising:
- Run a ½-marathon in under 1h and 40min.
- Be able to make 30 pull-ups.

Others:
- Have a new monitor by the end of the summer (or maybe 2).
- Invest a large portion of my poker money in my appartment so that you can actually live there.
- Have a great lot of fun.
- Quit being such a moron.


This means I'll be quite busy all summer (looking back at the goals it seems like I will have to work my ass of this summer), I hope this post will help me to keep my motivation. I think that if I keep my goals I will have a strong foundation to set goals for the rest of the year trying to improve winrates and moving up in limits. I will get back checking off this list at the end of the summer. Post some goals and do the same.

See ya all by the end of the summer, have a great time!

I tried that once. Overrated.

Good luck on the others.
