Looks like 2K short for me - a -225BB swing in the summer killed me!

I didn't have any, but if I did, they would probably look something like this:

Make more money than 2004: failed
Play more hours than 2004: failed
Play big live tournaments: failed
Play sats for big live tournaments: failed
Play online tournaments: failed

Edited to add: These are now my 2006 poker goals.

I've achieved my original goal, and hopefully will reach my 2nd goal tonight. My 3rd goal I hope to reach by year's end. One thing (like El D) that I haven't done is play more tournaments. I played one satellite for a WPT event, and the WSOP event I wanted to play was sold out. I have a hard time justifying playing tournaments nowadays.

Failed miserably.

Goal was to make $60K this year.
I had $51K as of June 1st.
Now I have $8K. (+ I spent about $8K).

I have succeeded greatly, and as result, failed miserably.

That is, I landed a good enough job that spending lots of time on poker is -EV. Most of my play since March has been helping my little brother clear random bonuses. I do miss the game occasionally [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Ive learnt to play poker in mid january this year (before I didnt know if str8 beat 3 of a kind and hadnt heard the word "holdem"). My goal after a month was to make 5k...
With little luck I will hit 100k at the end of this year so I guess I achieved my goals.
2006 will be much harder though...

I don't even want to look, but I know I failed miserably. Like, really miserably. Like, I'm gonna [censored] shoot myself right now just thinking about it.
