- get in at least 3/4 hours a day after uni, more on my free days
- be at at least 100nl by the end of the year.. (btw Kerouacs, what levels are you playing at now?)
- start studying after sessions
- take more shots to stop it being a massive grind

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

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
**** bitches, get money

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.
