2008 sure was an adventure, and i still managed to be +$ for the year despite a $12k downswing that ate my soul.

in 2009, i wanna get back to 2/4 ! and crush live poaker!

no graphs worth posting atm, unless someone really wants to see an epic downswing

I have not seen said epic downswing, how scary is this graph?

it's not the entire downswing but its -8k in <10k hands

thats just nasty.

Umm, yes I want to see it

Ill post my graph when I get home from vacation and have access to my database.

As for 2009 goals:

-Really focus on improving my game and get some coaching.
-Stick to 6max for awhile unless I am positive that it is more profitable for me to be playing FR
-Play ~80k hands/month from January-May (in school)
-Play ~120k hands/month from June-December (out of school)
-Decide whether I am good enough/want to play for a living
-Either be playing 1kNL or be crushing 400/600NL by the end of the year
-Buy a new car with poker profits hopefully in May

this is half of it i think?

My year-end results for online play:

NLHE: +$1,545.84
Stud: +$856.79
Mixed Games: +$16.52
2-7 Triple Draw: +1.00
Razz: -$242.30
Limit HE: -$249.53
Omaha: -$319.61

Still playing so I'll show you mine on the 31st. However it will only be half of the year as for the 2nd time this year I have bolloxed up my database .

My goals are'nt as (How to put it), lavish as the rest of you's.

1-Actually start taking poker seriously and by serious, I mean do the whole BRM thing.

2-Get, PT3&Holdem Manager (Not that trai lCrap)

3-Make Gold star for the year on Pokerstars (Came close acouple of months, then, tilt, with bad BRM, makes no Gold star, and loss of all privillages possible)

4-Have a roll of about 5k on 3 sites

5-Take at-least one check for more then 2k in one month out, as apposed to acouple hundred a month

and hopefully end the year in a positive mode

time to stfu

sorry.... must have sucked, ive never had a downsw0ng like that before

Looks like a ~$10k year. Will do final tally and details once it's over as I'm winning the million and the warm up tomorrow and don't want to have to add it all up twice.

Career profit cleared $33k as well

Goal for 2009 is $1200k a month average.

I finally keep track of my month for the monthly results/goals thread and now its a yearly results thread....damn it.

Guess I could post my life graph and stuff on the 31st but it seems kind of silly since I only recorded since October.

Will post 2009 goals when I return from Christmas visits. Ohhhhh yeahhhh 2009 is going to be sweeeeeeet.

Year net total including bonii and some minor tournament cashes looks to be around 15k. Given that I started at 25NL in April, I'm pretty happy about that.

Goal for 2009:

250k hands.
Most of these hands at 2/4.
50k net total.

It can be done. It will be done.

It must be done.

You have a point.


Perhaps I should set something a bit more stretching

1.2 mill/month easily doable imo.

2009 is a little scared bunny in the corner, and I'm a big bear closing in on it. You're in my sights, lil bunny.

Just own the RailHeaven fish for 12 buy-ins and you got it. Easy money imo.

Nice Chuck

It's quite striking how many of us have gone from 25nl to 100nl+ (quite a bit + in your case) in 2008, FP, Zach, you, me TB have all had big years for moving up. Like you I had no notion of finishing the year where I have. This time last year I was playing the warm-up or million once every couple of months and didn't play ring at all. Now I play the "bigs" every week and it doesn't dent the roll and have a game which I think is starting to come together in Ring at 100nl as something good.

I like what you say about stretching goals. My $1200k a month is obviously stretching... the $1200 a month is to pay off car loans, the first time I've ever made an ongoing financial committment I intend to pay off with poker money (I can afford it anyway, but that's not the plan).

My "stretch" goal is to clear 20k (my best year to date) by a margin 50k would be nice. Intending to do this by winning 1k+ a month at Ring and get some monster tourney wins. Got to hope for a final table in one of the biggies as well. I've been close enough to taste it this year and it's going to happen, just a question of when. rawr and stuff.

Rambling now, got a big post coming about stuff, looking back and looking forward.

Goal is to move from 10NL to 25NL (pretty close already) and then be up to 50NL by July or so, and be a consistent winner by the end of '09.
Also to play less SNG's becuase I suck/hate them.
Maybe take up a bit of 6max.

My goal for 2009 is continue to progress and learn. I won't get anywhere near the hand count that the monsters of CC get, but I still have a degree to get in 2009 before I get laid off. Working full time and school full time and posting here full time tend to cut in to the number of available hands to play.

In the beginning of 2008, my goal was to maintain a positive real-money bankroll on at least two sites. Done. I have become comfortable with BR management and now I don't sweat a $1 SnG or two a night.


Awwww... who am I kidding... I'm going to PWN the $500K tomorrow and fund my trip to Vegas in July for the WSOP.

1 goal

become a HU superstar (also known as, have a grasp of what the hell is going on in a years time)

1 plan

win enough to fund an america wide road trip to party poker up with some peeps

I hope after tomorrow I can post my 2008 result of placing in the money in the Sunday warm-up! Heck Rex - you can have 1st place, I just want some cash!

Well let's just say it's been one wild, crazy and often difficult year in every way not just including at the poker tables. Way too many life set backs that negatively affected my ability to play poker.

so I'm going to just focus on the general positives here!

I was a winning player this year and went from $10 NL to $50 NL. That's what I'll take away. I really believe it could have been alot more, but this is certainly not too shabby!

This upcoming year I want to achieve the following:

1) Move on up to $100 NL.

2) Continue to take significant time studying and improving my game.

3) Make Platinum Star a minimum of 4 times.... hopefully more.

4) Play tournaments a little more often..final table one MTT.

My graph is pretty embarrassing but you can all have a nice laugh at it.



Anyway I don't know what my goals are right now, I'll think about that later. One goal would to be stop sucking at poker I guess.

3.2BB/100 winrate Seany, there's nothing shameful in that

I don't have my year graph (got rid of all the 25nl, 50nl and some of the 100nl when I switched to PT3) but I would be amazed if I was >1.5BB/100 for the year.

Yeah Seany 3.2BB/100 fine, not sure what stakes it at, but there's plenty of foundation there m8. Your a winning player and you have the game to move up and develop as a player. NH imo!

Ill post my graph at some stage later today.

This year was very different. Being able to cash out 8K for the wedding was awesome, and since then its been an awesome year.

From the 2K i had left i now have a ~$6K roll, which in fairness is ok for 3 months
