Anyone else? | Play more at Ching Hill.
Make a trip to Bristol.
Find a regular game to play in.
Put some $$$ on-line and leave it there.

#5 | | Tilting for 5 years!! |
Play more home games on a regular basis outside my own. Host a few cash games throughout the year, or maybe hold a satellite to a bigger event somewhere. Play more live tourney's than last year (only did 1 last year). Hit at least two undergrounds and play some cash games. Make at least three trips to a casino and maybe play a casino satellite. There's talk about some Hill players making a trip to Vegas in April, would like to try to do that one, just not sure if its possible yet.
Keep the Hill games running for another successful year! Hey, maybe even win a few more than I have been.
Avoid reloading again this year online!!!

Try and improve on my monthly numbers since the move to Calgary. Would be great to get things up to 4-5k/month on a permanent basis.
Play higher limits online without any tilting when running bad.

Objectives:
I want to get better playing small ball deep stack cash games.
Move up hopefully to 5/10 and 10/20 NL.
I'd like to average $2.5K/week next year.
Learn Omaha. Become a winning player online and in the 5/10 game.
Methods:
Watch an half hour of video a day 7 hours per 2 weeks.
As soon as I get up in the morning watch a half hour of video and read/respond 2+2 latest hand postings.
Get better by seeing more hands...
Play more hands ...
Play at least 50,000 hands online.
Play at least 1000 hands a week online.
Play 120 hand a day online.
4 table for 30 min every day. or 2 table for an hour.

I have an account already at FT without rakeback, or I might play there. Do you have a link showing otherwise with respect to Stars?

Once you collect the 1st supernova bonus of $1500 for 100,000 FPPs you will be getting the equivalent of 28%. As you continue to collect FPPs these bonuses get bigger and at the supernova level you can get as high as 35% (based on redeeming your points for bonuses).
Also, since you get access to all the monthly/weekly supernova tournaments (some which are around $50k or something) you can potentially make even more.
The highest levels of supernova elite are equivalent to roughly 60% rakeback, but you are gonna need to play a hell of a lot to get there  | |
