teaulc Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 are any of you going to make any resolutions with regards to your poker?? mine will be: more live games and qualify for a big buy-in while sponsored. 100% disciplined with keeping my bankroll up to date,including recording every session i play (at the moment i am not doing this). to gain the respect of my peers. to once again get to W.S.O.P. AND play in the W.S.O.P.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions Definitely play more live games, I always play with mates at least once a week and try and get to the casino at least once a fortnight but really want to play in more events like the GUKPT etc. To concentrate more on cash games, invest a good starting roll into my preferred account and only play for a set amount of hours each day, this will also allow me to play regular focus games. Get my punch bag put back up. Without a doubt the best way to get rid of your aggression when on tilt rather than taking out on other people and beating yourself up about it. Fell out of love with poker half way through the year but my love for it has come back with a vengeance. Good luck everyone in the New Year, and I hope it's a prosperous one for all PLer's.

happyhornet Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions Ok my resolutions for 2008: 1. Keep records. 2. Enter more sats to higher value online or live tournies. Also agree with TQM, stop playing low value tournaments. 3. Realise that post pub sessions are not productive. A couple of drinks before/during play is (IMO) ok, a dozen isn't!! 4. Should I qualify for another live final with a free bar, try not to look on the free bar as a challenge that needs to be beaten:loon. 5. Meet more PL-ers. 6. Last but not least, double my bankroll. That should keep me going!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overandunder Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions To play more tournys and be more confident in the choices I make with the cards I have! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions To play far more seriously this year. That means playing cash games more concentrated for longer periods of hours in days over weeks, firstly for a challenge to test myself, but also to see if it's a serious way forward for me. For the last 7 months i've been playing cash on and off making money the whole way, even the last 2months i've barely played and still made a nice chunk so the plan is to consistently play and look to improve a lot more. Also want to re-build my roll on Stars through the STT again like i did up until i lost my PokerOffice when the laptop died a bit ago and withdrew it all. MTT - not really bothered about playing them, there's money to be made there but only if played regularly and that's not something i'd so will only carry on playing for fun. Bring on the 10th January - when i've got all my assignments done ! :nana :beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hedonist Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions 1. Play more NLHE tournies 2. Play more PLO cash 3. Don't play PLO whilst drunk! 4. Learn a form of stud poker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB80 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions Last year I only had one, to qualify for the WSOP Main Event. I did that comfortably enough :lol so I'm having 3 this year! 1) To get past day 2 in the Main Event this time. 2) To cash in the WSOP (any event, I don't mind). 3) To finally have a cash game. I'm rubbish, and have no problem admitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions Just the one for me: To try and finally make a go of it at the cash tables. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goater14 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Re: poker / new year resolutions Play more cash and hopefully move up at least 2 levels, play more sats for bigger events, have bigger balls:tongue2 with regards decision making and moving up the levels. And most importantly continue to enjoy the game:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are as follows in no paticular order :- 1) To play in a live event (only ever done home games) 2) To try and move up stakes in my STTs to maybe $30/$50 with a good ROI (currently $20 games with 30% ROI) 3) To beat my PB in a MTT currently standing at $1650 4) To get better at cash games 5) The most important one is NOT TO THROW MY MOUSE ACROSS THE ROOM WHEN SOME MUPPET GETS LUCKY !!! :lol These are only a few of my goals, but its a start Good Luck for 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overandunder Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Re: poker / new year resolutions Well, that was a long week! :lol Just thought I'd let you know how I've been getting on - cos I've been travelling about a bit and not really able to download software I've spent most of my time on sky. It isn't too bad, although my mixed results from it probably say more about the room than I think! (I hope). My offline skills have improved a bit though, good to get over on my mates more regularly!;) Anyway, I think I'll see if I can play in the big tourny on sky tomorrow and then switch my focus to somewhere like stars, or ft (is this as good as everyone seems to say?!).
