Gonna start a new thread so it'll be easier to find next year.

Here goes:

1.) Profit: Setting different goals for online and live this year:

Online: 40k
Live: 10k
Total: 50k

2.) Events: Play at least one WSOP event
Play at least 5 VDSE (or similar Vegas tourneys)
Play one foreign event (EPT, WPT, LAPT, etc)

3.) 5 Digit Cash: One online
One Live

4.) Chat Ban: Avoid chat ban on Stars (and overall tiltiness)

5.) Win a $300+ b/i live tourney

6.) Final table a major online tourney

1) Add $0.00 to any existing on-line account balances.
2) GET OUT TO A BRISTOL EVENT.
3) Get off my ass and get up to the OPT.
4) Change my attitude towards the game. I often find myself torn between wanting to put in the time/effort to improve my play and therefore increase my profits, and wanting to just enjoy the social aspect that poker brings to my life. I think 2012 is the year where I finally need to resolve that issue once and for all, and then move on.

1. Get consistent and resolve to only play my A game (not drunk or tired as heck......skill level is disadvantage enough)
2. make my studying to playing ratio .5 to 1. has been much much too low with almost no effort to improve in some months.
3. get to Vegas or AC for some big time experience
4. Finally get a PC to actually be able to use the better 3rd party programs
5. Make time to play some MTT's
6. 3 Digit cash

GTA Poker

In my current situation factoring in travel, etc:

1. make 30k

If I move to Vegas temporarily:

2. make moar

If I move to The Bay Area:

3. hopefully make moar (have never played in the area and don't know how the games play)

- Dont deposit at all in 2012
- Learn as much as I can
- Be nicer and tilt less
- Post hands im not sure of and get input, and not be afraid of what people think
- Play live more

1) Try to make as much as in 2011 but with less grinding.

2) Become a power user of PT4/HM2. Buy a desktop with fast SSD, 8 GB RAM, Quad Core, & 30"/27" monitor.

3) Become better at multi-tabling, e.g., much less auto-folded hands, missed rebuys, missed add-ons, quickly folding the winning hand, mistakenly shoving near the bubble; reduce huge gap between what I would have done single-tabling vs. 8-12 tabling.

4) Finish at least one 2011/12 poker book (e.g., Little Gold Book), or finally find a training site that is worth taking time off from grinding.

5) Be in the top 1000 or 99% rating in OPR, and/or shark in Sharkscope with at least 80% ability.

6) Play a couple of live events, e.g., Montreal PartyPoker Classic and the next major event at Fallsview (2013?).

7) By the end of 2012, spend a lot less time grinding than now even if it's still highly +EV. Find "balance in the force."

1) Eclipse my combined earnings from 2011. I took most of 2011 off due to some IRL changes that really helped me gain some focus and balance. As much as I enjoyed grinding an online roll, 2009 and 2010 were relatively antisocial years from me.

However I made some decent live scores in '11 which balanced my overall profits to be right inline with my results from '09 and '10.

1b) Because these years have been so antisocial, I need to make some friends. This may sound strange but putting in significant hours online when you already have a fulltime job doesnt leave alot of time for anything else. I recently had to fill out a question sheet that required a reference of a long time friend - and couldnt name one. FML.

2) Travel to more live events. WSOPc in Jan is a start but Im also going to do either Manitoba or Sask again, and for sure one of the Alberta Series.

3) Live on GTA's couch in Vegas.

4) Focus online. During the latter part of the year I found myself "fitting in" time to play online when I should have just not bothered. This resulted in less villain specific focus, bad bubble play (really bad bubble play) and overall spew-ed-ness. I find I dont make near as many errors playing serious live events as Ive "planned" to be there.

5) Double digit points at Royal. FML Pt.2.

Good luck to the community this year. I think one of the things that has brought us closer as a group over the past year was the BAP forum and the growth we've witnessed there. I hope this continues to grow and allow for greater group achievements.

Super thread T8!

For me:

1. Win Season 6 of the Orangeville Poker Tour (half way there)

2. Attend a WPT Tournament boot camp.

3. Play the Senior's event at the WSOP.

4. Make enough money from live tourneys at OPT, Buzzard's, Ching Hill, and York Region to pay for the above.

5. Come home from Vegas with more money than I arrived with.

6. Make top 100 in the PS Sunday Storm more than once.

7. Qualify for the 2013 PCA.

I agree with Wetts that the BAP forum has made more of us connect on a different level. You even get to know their name (having to to make a money transfer).

Looking forward to when Team PFC makes a bigger dent in the public poker scene. Some of you already are.

GL all.
