I see the same 10 lines over and over and over and over and over. 60,000 times a month. 2,000 times a day, the same lines. Over and over. Finally, some time in 2010, I am going to take the hour it would require to consign to memory what, on average, these lines mean. The aim would be to see a steep decrease in my suckrate. There are 8,750 hours in 2010. I need one of those hours for this task. It's a tough goal, but I'm determined to make it happen.

TripleAce

1. Make 30k from online MTT & SNG (including rake back)
2. Make 20k from online HU Cash (including rake back)
3. Try to qualify for some nice live tournaments and dont get too bored! Try to cash nicely in one of them as I always fail
4. Play only 4 nights a week!!!

Honestly, my passion for the game has waned over the past year. Poker has eaten far too much into my life and has affected all areas of my life (probably negatively in all areas besides financially).

My only real goal is to not fall off the wagon entirely. Grinding is not where I want to be at the moment but I can see myself wanting to give it another shot down the line. Now, I'm all too aware that poker is constantly evolving which would make it difficult to take a prolonged break and be able to come back as a winning player. Therefore I intend on:
- keep up to date with the theory here and on 2+2
- not let poker destroy my life
- play less
- what little I play, try turn a profit.

Post more please!

My goals:

1) Move up properly to 400NL and above, not just shots
2) Get some good live tourney scores. I've never had a good one and have burned the edges multiple times, so this is the year! Play more festivals anyway.
3) Put more hours into studying other regs games
4) Play WSOP & IO

Play less and concentrate more when playing. And qualify for IO i suppose

1 - To try and put 100% concentration into the entire game.

4 - To show some class and stop going into a 15 min tourette like berating of players when I get a horrible call.
5 - To shut the f.... up for 5 mins so that players at the table realise that I am basically a tight player, and, the fact the I talk alot stops giving them the impression that I am involved in more hands than is actully true (thanks croc!) thus receiving horrible wide range calls!
6 - To shut the f... up

6a - to be the BPII once again;)
