I also did not have any set goals for 2010. I however would like to share what I feel I accomplished this year and set a few goals for 2011.

For the past couple years I have played regularly online. I began by making a small deposit. A few times I had built a quite healthy bankroll but would cash out as I saw fit and start again. Last January I made a deposit of $15.00 on Stars. I am proud to say that I have not deposited again since.

With that $15.00 I have managed to be able to pay for the forum game entries usually 3 times a week.

I have been able to trade monies from Stars to try a few things on FTP without ever depositing there.

I have been able to participate in side bets and LL's, some won and some lost..

While I may not play the same volume as others, I usually play atleast 4 or 5 days a week. Even at 1.40 x up to 5 or 6 times a day adds up and I was able to play off won money through a whole year.

I was also able to play some larger buy-ins, including in that, 3 $55.00 Online Forum League wins which provided some of that 'super sized' opportunity.

Some Goals for 2011

1. Try to play more Live. While this option is somewhat limited for me, I would like to see if I can build/maintain a live bankroll in a similar manner.

2. Final table a larger online mtt tournament of 500 or more runners.

3. First 4 figure score online in 2011.

4. Play in Vegas for the first time.

5. Take another trip down east for the Royal Cup.

5a. Play in various home games down east while on said poker road trip.

6. Play in atleast one major live event (of the 2) held at Casino Regina and cash.

7. Continue growing and learning as a player. I have never played with any aids/software/trackers etc. Part of growing and learning as an online player would be to make use of those things that are giving others an advantage. I would think this in turn would also be of value to your live game as well.

Good luck to everyone in the New Year!

~Shar

2010 Goals:

1. Get PT3 - Done
2. Sign up to a training site - Done (Pokerpwnage and just recently Cardrunners)
3. First 4 Figure Score - Done (1.9k)
4. Finish 2010 with overall >$5k profit - Need like another $100 this week to cross this off the list

So all in all, I am very happy with my year. I kinda lost my drive near the end of this year, and dabbled into cash games. Doin ok in those over small sample at 25NL lately. Not sure at this point if I will focus on cash or tournies in 2011, so I will set profit goals instead of volume goals like I was originally planning on doing.

1. $10K profit
2. Really focus on getting mentally prepared to play, not playing in front of the tv, not tilting as easy, etc
3. Lurk the strat forums more
4. First $5k+ score
5. Continue watching videos, re-reading/finishing books
6. Possibly find someone to sweat weekly sessions with

My goals

800k hands 50nl & higher

Move up to 100 nl and be a winning player at that level this time next year.

Have a €20k roll this time next year.

Play 4 €500 + tournaments live

Win 10k plus in some tournament.


Last years goals

Quote:
1. Try cut back on withdrawals this year ( if it wasnt for them id be rolled to play 200nl at this stage, god knows i wouldnt beat it but all the same)

2. Im starting back at 50Nl in January so i guess id be happy to be a small winner or breakeven 100 nl player this time next year.

3. Take omaha a bit further. I believe i have a quiet good game at it and can probably beat higher levels at it than Nl.

4. 20k hands min every month.

5. Im not really going to make any live poker goals as i tend to mainly use my personal money for these games so whatever happens let it be.

6. Make a decent attempt to satt into wsop.
1. Pass

2.Guess i have a bankroll for 100nl and im also a big winner over 7k hands but not really what i hoped for. But not a fail either.

3. Fail but dont really care

4. Pass i guess have not got there every month but my average will def make it a pass.

5. Set myself up to pass that

6.Fail

2011 - The Year of the Black Swan

Like thousands of other online players, 2011 was much worse for me compared to previous years. The good news for me is I still haven't had a single losing month despite the life-tilting variance of tournaments.
