How'd you do on your 2005 poker goals?

[KINGOFINLAND]

1. Quit other gambling games and sports betting.

Well I did other gambling, but down $30k on sports betting =) though I haven't bet them in last two months.

2. Tilt less.

Almost the same, 3-4 tilt sessions this year.

3. Care less about money.

No way, I'm actually caring more about it because I began saving money for house & other stuff.

4. Enjoy more about poker.

No, I still hate this game.


5. Do enough(5k/month) from sit n gos and tournaments.

Switched back to playing mostly NL in early february and after that I have done way over my goal.

6. Win one big tournament, 1st prize >$50k

So far the biggest tournament win is $13000. But I will play some big live tournaments in December aswell as the usual online tournaments.
So maybe..

I'm honing in on $80K which was my goal for 2005. My goal for 2006 is $105K for online and B&M play combined.

My goal for the year was to pay off about $20k of college debt that just wouldn't go away by multi-tabling the party $3/6.

Well I did that, and I funded two expensive holidays, and spent a boat load more money, and I've been now running good at $20/40. Over-acheiving rules [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

my goal was 30/60 by the end of the year, i made it. sweet.

[POKhER]

Didn't post them, But i guess this years goal is to be play 10/20 by end of next year(end of 2006).

I'm at .25/.50 6max having played 1/2 10max.

Hopefully be at 1/2 6max by Xmas.

Thats 1/2>2/4>3/6>5/10>10/20
4-5 jumps, If i can do one every 2months i should be at 10/20 by xmas.

Cool, Wish me luck. I'd also like to make 20K this year, See what happens. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

My goal was to make 100k, and become a better poker player. I did both. My goals for 2006 is to be able to crush players that are at my level of skills at the moment.

Congratulations on achieving your goals!

Can I please ask how long you have been playing? How many hrs/wk approx. to make your 100K?

I am just getting started and trying to get a feel for what is possible.

Cheers,
Ian

Did not write them in here - but I made it 95% of the way to my goals (in order of importance)

- Learned how to play online poker (was a B&M player exclusivly for 5 years) - had a couple of bad/very tilty experiences that kept me B&M before this year but was determined to make the online move. Started small (3-6) and now I am 3-4 tabling 10-20 6 max on my sweet 21” dells.
- Make a concerted effort to read and study every 2+2 book and spend lots of time reading strategy posts online – truly improve all aspects of my game (clearly not all the way there yet – but really feel that I have learned ALLOT this year)
- Earn 75K playing cards (online, off, tournaments, bonuses, etc.) – projecting to 69K now – close.

Could not have done it without this board – especially the HUSH forum – really I would be no where without the great insight and learning that is shared on a daily basis on that forum……THANKS (next year my goal will be to post more hands….)

2005 is not over yet!!!*


*Utterly horrible, but I did manage to make some good progress on my exercizing goal, and I start an awesome new job on Tuesday, oh and number two daughter entered the world, which had an impact on meeting my poker goals.
