Well, 40 hours per week is tough. But, my wife is staying at home now so I am trying. Ive been able to the last 2 weeks. Our deal is she get's to quit work and stay home, but takes care of most of the shopping, cooking, cleaning, running the older kids around and watching the younger ones. I work more and make enough to replace her income/benifits.

Thats the deal, so my goal is 40 to 45 hours a week of play. I can lower that if I continue to have success at the bigger games, but for now i'm trying to get in that routine.

The second goal came about last night, when I basically gave away $11000 in a mtt. It got to heads up, I got excited and made a typical stt hu play, not stoping to realize we had a ton of chips relative to the blinds. As I get to more and more larger final tables, hopefully i will calm down, but for now I get a little over excited and don't play my best. Hopefully slowing down can help that.

Steve

Move from 8-tabling to 12-tabling without a significant drop in ROI.

I play on a weird european site that gave me free money since I can't desposit anything...so I can't really keep stats unless I want to write down all my results- so I'd say make 600 euros playing 4-5 tables at the 10's...

I'm also working 30 hrs/week and enjoying the summer weather so I don't know if I'll have enough time (and luck) but we'll see.

My goal is to be #1 and #2 on the Empire leaderboard instead of #1 and # 3.

I will make a bagillion dollars.

I will pick some deal that I find on a Dell 2001fp and just buy a 2nd one already.

I will buy a new graphics card to go with it.

I will break down and buy some other crap too:
- New TV
- Universal Remote
- Possibly some new speakers
- Possibly a laptop

I will plan a vacation.

I will attempt to get a job (hippy).

I will eat, drink, and be merry.

I'm sure there's others too, but that's all that's springing to my mind.

If i can fit the remaining 800+ games in, but I think thats being too optimistic, more likely be mid sept.... (I've made more then $1k, i've just started a 1000 sng challenge just over a week ago)

Cheers

a)play 100 10/1s @ >20% roi
b)use sng power tools to learn all about how stack sizes, calling ranges, blinds, etc all affect my equity in bubble action and hone my instincts to be pretty accurate in determining +/- ev situations on my own
c)play 1 decent mtt tourney a week with sng winnings to both learn and to give me a shot at that 'instant br' that many people have had to jumpstart their careers

I'd like to make 1000/week. I have been averaging about 1k a week but I'd like it to be more consistant. Have all winning weeks between 500-1500. Yes I realize this is a fantasy.
