My goals were to move up to and beat 15/30, and to get better at MTTs, and win one. I got my MTT win last month, and moved up to 15/30 2 weeks ago, so I'm looking good for this year.

I made 17k last year playing almost exclusively 2/4, so this year I made it a goal to make at least 20k and try 3/6 and 5/10. Right now I am only at 7500 or so. Bad beats? Overextending myself? Nope, actually for most of 2005 I've had a very strong urge to just not play. I'd start up party, then realize, Hmm, I really don't feel like playing. I've played a lot more starting in June. Going into June I'd only made about 4k. Now that I the summer off, I'll probably be playing more, though I doubt I'll hit my 20k mark, even though I probably will be playing at higher limits than last year (3/6 and 5/10).

Abysmally.

1. 200k - I'm at about 18k

2. Play in a WSOP limit event - Played in a WSOP circuit limit event (so sorta)

3. Play in the main event - not likely

4. 3bb/100 in the party 15 - On one hand probably not a realistic goal, on the other hand I'm not anywhere near it.

5. Venture into bigger online games - I wrote this specifically meaning not the Party 30, so unless the party 20 counts, no.

6. Improve my NL game substantially - Meh, I've made a little progress on this one and still have time, but I'm nowhere near a top tier player.

7. Play only my A game - Obviosuly no.

There were two other threads of this nature. I posted in the one in SS here

My goals were:
[ QUOTE ]
Within a year I want to...

-Be playing multiple 15/30 tables and winning.
-Be significantly better than I am now, and continuting to learnd and improve.
-Have enough of a roll to play 20/40 live.
-Have enough balls to play the above mentioned games.

-Have a real job.

[/ QUOTE ]

1. I'm not playing 15/30 yet, although I tried it for a while. I'm playing 10/20 6max, but I feel like this is very similar, and I'm not sure if I want to return to full ring right away. Now that there are more 6max options I may stick with this for a while. Therefore, I consider this goal basically accomplished. I thik I'm beating 10/20 6m, I am so far anyway...we'll see.

2. I am better than I was and I'm still learning. I don't know If I'm content with how much improved, but then again, if I ever am, it sort of defeats the purpose of the goal. This may be one of those that should never be staisfied.

3. Got that.

4. Yes. Even thought I haven't done it yet, it's only b/c the opportunity hasn't presented itself. I'm ready to play it. Next time I'm in a casino that spreads it...

5. Yup got that too.

Cool, I'm doing pretty well, maybe my goals weren't lofty enough.

mine was "play less, study more." (in terms of school). i guess i achieved my goal but mainly because i went abroad and didn't have a computer.

sthief said he had the same goal but replaced "play" with "post." he has since had 15,000 posts. way to go ST!
