AJ Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Suppose we should update for 2009. This will be the year of the grind for me, my game is finally in pretty good shape, this year I intend to make some money. My target is $10,000 NZD (about $6k US) I'd like to play a major live event at some point, but not sure it's that big a thing for me. If i have a good year I'll direct buy into an APPT event either in Auckland or Sydney. aim to continue with my DoN games, hopefully move up to the $20s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaded Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: Poker / New Year Resolutions 2009 1. To take my Stars bankroll of $440 up to at least $2000, keeping records as I go (see Challenges section.) 2. To play far more focus games - aiming for at least one a week. 3. To NOT drag down any Equity Exchange Clubs quite as badly as I did in December. (Sorry, hopeless start to that one tonight!) 4. To continue to be a gracious loser in chat boxes and only call people complete sodding muppets when I'm fairly confident they'll know I'm not serious. (Hi Hen!) 5. To not play cash games.

starshine Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Re: Poker / New Year Resolutions 2009 - to make lots points for my team - to keep records (already do but bit to lazy sometimes), so do it less lazy - to play more satellites for big tours - to improve my game, which includes as well to become more confident and secure (still have bit lack in that, but only play poker since one year and a month now, so so far its ok I guess) - and I had to smile so many have as resolutions to play more live games, so mine is to play my first live game (bit embarrassing) - get more steady in my game - to win the league on pokerkings once, at least once lol hope nothing got lost in translation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy the punter Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Re: Poker / New Year Resolutions 2009 My plans for the first part of the year anyhow: Play less poker but more bigger tourns/games. Too much going on elsewhere and poker is my gets me less per hour than other activities do. So the idea is quality rather than quantity, ideally more festival events basically. Transfer online tourn success to live tourn success - so basically improve live tournament focus. Need to get used to the fact that you're playing for longer, and it's not the same as cash, played 24 hour cash games but you can walk away from the table for 30 mins at a time, obviously thats not an option for tournament play. Continue to make a profit despite changing outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chats in poker chatboxes :ok I still enjoy playing poker :ok But I fail at chatting more in chatboxes :$ Should I aim for more next year? :unsure Oops, I edited instead of quoted it :lol But I still think the most important part about poker is keep enjoy playing it. I guess my game has improved a bit in the last year, a more broader view of my options, more variation, more experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
