2009 Accomplishments:
- Lost money in poker!

2010 Goals:
- Win money in poker!


Pretty simple for me! I did nothing in poker this year! I have high hopes for 2010. I'm actually putting together a schedule...... There are 7 days in a week... I work 5 and have two off. I plan on making a weekday schedule to "study' poker 100%. Maybe something like Tuesday - Thursday I watch videos, study guides, read more books. Friday - Sunday I play.... Once I start getting in the +EV I will play more during the week in between study periods!

I'll make it Poker 101 via Crummy University!

2009- Made modest profit that is nothing compared to the time invested, tilted a bunch and underperformed.

2010- Make at least 1k playing poker and continue to grow as a player. I would like to get some more live experience and perhaps have a big cash in a MTT.

2009

Cash games was Huge fail - Breakeven over a 600k hand stretch FML! Would have been a winning year, but too many shots at 200nl killed me big time.

Thankfully I cashed in the WCOOP for $9k and I earned plenty of FPP's so it was a +$ year for me, but nowhere near what I was expecting.

2010

Supernova Elite - I think

Learn to run goot at 200nl - otherwise no Supernova Elite.

2009: Started playing real money poker

Deposited 30$ in June and as at december 2009 I ran it up to 210$
Mostly through playing sng's and satelites.

2010: Play exclusively cash games. I am sorta doing all right in micro stakes but my goal is to beat 25nl by the end of the year.

Also play some tournaments and get a decent cash
