lol, well you're in league with the devil for sure!

For me goal would be 10/20 8-game by years end but I'll probably have quit 5 times by then.

Well with xmas party season in full swing and only a couple of weeks to the new year I figure it's time we had a thread to put down our goals and and aims for 2010. While winning the WSOP by sucking out on Phil Hellmuth is still the dream, I'm going to try to keep my poker goals somewhat achievable and realistic.

Poker:

1) Play on average 25K hands per month online. Consciously and consistently try to improve by studying my stats, reading and discussing theory and posting hand histories.

2) Sat into a couple of big live tournaments and maintain concentration levels while playing them.

3) Stop playing live € 200NL until properly rolled for it.

4) The overall aim is to be properly rolled for and winning player at 200 NL by the end of 2010.

Non-poker:

1) Excercise far more often, take up swimming and running again and continue playing basketball.

2) Pass tax exams in April.

3) Start reading regularly again.

Have a couple more non-poker ones but making them public may not be the best idea


Edit: 4) Possibly go to Specsavers as I missed the thread already started by El Stuntman!

That was my 2009 objective, and it has been achieved, so I'm going for the same overall goal this year.

A few more specific wants:

1. Keep my job.
2. Qualify for the IO again.
3. Go to Vegas in the summer if job is still on the go.

Mine is purely to make more money from poker than my girlfriend does this year. That would be acceptable

Tracking software that can be used with most poker sites. It can tell you anything you need to know about your and your opponents games. You want to find out how often you have 3 bet from the button? Holdem Manager will tell you, and any other conceivable stat. It is similar to Poker Tracker in function, if you have ever heard of that, but a more comprehensive product by all accounts.

These two conflict pretty horribly.
