2012 Poker Goals

crazykoby · Jan 12,2012, 09:22 AM

My 2012 poker goals

1) Crack the top 50 in a WSOP event this year. (My best is a 51st)

2) Play more online poker. (Now that the kids are getting slightly older, will hopefully start to see a little more free time in the evenings to do this)

3) Money in a WSOP-C event that I will be going to in late January with Wetts1012

4) Travel to more events other than just Las Vegas. BCPC, WSOP Europe, EPT, Deepstack Tour Event, etc

5) Money in a GBH event

6) Win back to back OPT Season ending Tournaments

7) Win back to back Ching Hill Season ending Tournaments

8) Make my BAP stakers some money

9) And of course the obvious, keep my bankroll in the + figures.

I believe that most of these are pretty obtainable goals

Put these in the other thread, but this will be easier to find in Dec.

1. Keep my DC (or other) membership all year and watch as many videos as I can that apply to my games
2. Get in over 10,000 180man turbos.
3. NO CASH GAMES!
4. Get comfortable with more tables - target of 20 at a time by the end of 2012 (currently at 10)
5. Get a coach in Feb - March for the 180s. Not 100% sure about this, we will see.

I want to add to the above,

6. Make enough $ to cash out $4-5k for my wedding in January. Will need to cash out by ~Nov.
7. Make the SS leaderboard for something

Since posting the first few goals I have already increased to 14 tabling, so Im getting there. Im still on pace for 10k games this year, even though I have only played like 50% of the days so far. So I might up the volume goal if its going good.

1) Read more books/threads about strategy instead of just hanging out in the Off Topic area.

2) Set aside actual time each week to play instead of just randomly deciding to play some poker and hoping I have enough time.

3) Build a mid 4 digit bankroll (3-6K)

4) Win one MTT of 1000+ players.

5) Learn Omaha because it just seems like too much fun and money that I'm missing out on.

6) Get the man cave set up really well instead of the half assedness that it is now.

7) Get a new computer since this one is about 6-7 years old.

8) Do not blow up at any hands. If this should fail, install exploding Mr. Potato Head that blows up when there is too loud of a noise. When he blows up, I have to take a break for at least 1 hour.

8 is impossible

LEARN THE GAME!!!...this is my goal everytime I sit down, actually had someone ask me when a 2/5 was opening once "You really just learning?" ..... "YES I AM, I sit here?".....must have been a lucky seat, that was a profit day!

number 2, at least show 3k profit while playing 2/5 during the year, I only live probably about 20 hours a month or so, harder goal than it looks.
