- be at at least 100nl by the end of the year.. (btw Kerouacs, what levels are you playing at now?)
- start studying after sessions

Life goals - lie in wait for FTP to come back, and abuse how easy the $10 45 mans were to win

Campbell -

#4 24th December 2011, 5:32 PM

campbell, im rolled for shots at 50nl, but still learning ring after years of mtt/sngs, so I play anything between 2nl and 25nl depending on site.

and yeah, FT to come back would be cool. get my BR back..................

#5 24th December 2011, 5:40 PM

Would include my 2011 goals and see how I did but I already know I did terribly so I'll leave it

Poker goals:
- Take it seriously again. Really didn't put any effort into poker this year apart from like January
- Stick as much as possible to sngs, at least for the first half of the year. Most of my problems in poker have come from flitting around between games
- Try and get up to around 1k games a month (45s and 180s)
- Decent profit (what that actually amounts to I haven't decided yet)

Life goals:
- 2.1 at uni
- Decide what I want to do with my life
- Continue losing weight. Lost ~28plbs, could do with losing another 12 or so
- Make sure I don't get back into bad drinking habits

In short

Spoiler

#6 24th December 2011, 5:55 PM

yeah, agree on spoiler lol. and do a scarface with the whitestuff(just kidding)

#7 24th December 2011, 8:36 PM

nice K, wish i had a roll like yours! and lol i'm with the spoiler as well, can add that to mine

#8 24th December 2011, 9:30 PM

its a small roll compared to many here, but it was all started with $50, with a couple of K withdrawal, and all from learning from the many good players here, CB. Gl at the tables, and merry xmas.

#9 24th December 2011, 9:35 PM

Thats good to hear, how long did it take you? gl to you too!
and its not xmas yet for me, I'm british haha.. 2 and a half hours left, reading SuperSystem 2 finally so thats me into xmas day :P

#10 24th December 2011, 9:39 PM

yeah brit here too. where you at/from?
Im torquay, south devon on the coast.
my br is over a few years, but always super-micro just for fun. only been playing cash for a few months, need to step up my game, and poker-hours(currently 1 or 2 hours a week lol), thats why I started this thread, for motivation.

#11 24th December 2011, 9:47 PM

I'm from Leeds, and here for xmas and my bday (26th :/) but full-time I'm down in Walsall, right next to Wolverhampton..

sickk, I just wanna get my roll big enough to switch to live, but that won't happen for ages :/ you don't need to be that good for super micros haha :P

well if it helps you it's good, respect for doing it.. 1/2 hours a week?! guess if you're working full-time you can't have much spare time though..

#12 24th December 2011, 10:00 PM

been thru Leeds on way to job in newcastle, one time, and oh yeah had interview for butlins in leeds long time ago.

i play live too, but only tourneys. you dont need much to beat live fish. yeah some weeks I play 20 hours, and then I'll go a month without playing a hand. full-time nightshift is a killer for a social life, add in wife/family/friends/exercise and general life, it gets to be a lot. for every 1 hour of actual playing I spend maybe 5 hours either online or in real life reading poker strategy/browsing here, or watching videos.
but I waste so much time watching TV/procrastinating, when I could be grinding my roll up, which is gonna change in the new year.

#13 25th December 2011, 12:27 PM

Will post goals before the new year but for now, Happy Christmas Mark and best of luck with your goals.

#14 25th December 2011, 1:47 PM

If I can't beat 20nl 6 tables for at least 5bb/100 after a couple of months then I'm going to forget about cash games and just focus on good value tourneys.

I lose focus when I just relentlessly grind one kind.

#27 26th December 2011, 3:09 AM

My life goals for 2012 is to try to get a good job and move out of this apartment into a house where all my kids can have their own room. I've had a lot of struggles in the past couple years, that's why I haven't been around Cardschat or poker. I think things are finally going to settle out for me and 2012 will be a great year for me and my family!
As far as poker goes, I'd like to try to play a few live tournaments and schedule a few home games for family and friends.
One thing's for sure, it's cool that even though I had a lot of problems recently, when I'm ready to come back, Cardschat is here with open arms.
I'd just like to say thanks for being a great community.
Chris.

I hope everything works out for you in 2012 AF. Cardschat will always be here for you.

Coming back to poker after a more than a year off.

Get back into CG and grind back up to 25NL.
get back to the WSOP (leading in a league right now with a $1500 buy-in as top prize).

Life goals? Just staying happy at work (harder than it seems), dropping 20 pounds and getting some cardio back.

ditto which consist of family , friends and poker . hope to learn to do all three better .

#31 28th December 2011, 1:41 PM

Real poker goals put on hold until regulations are put in force. Alternate thoughts is to be number one at SBR poker. Money not as big but extremely steady.

#32 29th December 2011, 1:00 AM

For Fun I set a goal of 50,000 "toothpicks" (Thats my official term) when I started playing in 2005. I am a small time grinder. This is a combination between live and Atlantic City. The goal was also to still have it all when I got there. I am 80.04% there so far. Next live game is Borgata Spring Open HORSE in three weeks, maybe we can make a dent hehe.
My life goal is to better today then I was yesterday.

#33 29th December 2011, 1:29 AM

This is a great idea...will post mine in a few days after some thought.

#34 29th December 2011, 1:47 AM

Life goals first:
- Pay off a credit card by June ($x,xxx balance)
- STAY employed
- Work out/yoga/walk at least twice a week for each.
- Stay employed... oh, did I already say that?

Poker goals:
- Play a live $100+ NLHE tournament 4 times in the year.
- Satty into state poker championships in August (may be part of first goal)
- At least one Vegas trip... might just have to be DefCON 20...

#35 4th January 2012, 1:47 PM

Find one game that suits me and Grind Grind Grind
Make enough to pay for vacation this year.
Study more
Make 2 trips to Brick and Mortar Casino
