2009 Remaining Goals:
  • Change at least 2 of 4 losing game types to wins.
  • Organize bookshelf.
Well, time's up for me on these and although I didn't turn around those two losses to wins, I did make a little more money and got close to even with both. If I had the rest of the day I could likely get there, but other pursuits are calling.

Did get my bookshelf organized (first shelf poker books to review, second shelf poker books I won't look at for awhile, and third shelf other books). I love having things in order!

Finished in the black, but most profits came from affiliate promotions and rake races. Slight gain in real money games.
Focused more on cash games than tournaments and broke even on nlhe cash games.
Tried shortstacking for about one week and determined it is for challenged people who can only accomplish things in life by taking short cuts.
Bacame burned out on hold em and started playing more HORSE games.

2010:
Play very little hold em and keep playing HORSE (or ORSE, if you will).
Maybe play in the wsop Circuit event in my hometown if I can motivate myself to play hold em again.

Played 300k hands at small stakes (100nl & 200nl) and used poker income to pay for everything but the rent for the last 6 months.

2010

Stop doing that to let the bankroll grow for real and move up in mid-stakes. Drop the number of tables to focus more on improving my game.

I started playing holdem in 2009, so I just have plans for 2010. :)

1. I want to win a GTD tourny (20-30K).
2. I plan to get in BPO (Budapest Poker Open) through satelite.
3. Win at least one CC tourny. :D
