2013 Poker Goals
Its that time of the year again, thought I would get things started for 2013:
1. Continue to improve new poker website. Ensure tournament database is up-to-date with current and accurate tournament details.
2. Run three successful online satellites to major Ontario casino based poker tournaments. Work with affiliates to offer best tournament structures and options for players.
3. Achieve $10k+ profit from live cash games. Increase play at 5/5 and 5/10 levels. Also, do a better job tracking progress.
4. Achieve one major live tournament and one major online tournament cash in 2013 (>$5k).

Goal for 2013 is simply to find some games I enjoy playing on a regular basis again -- the 2/3/5 $500max in Northern Cali just doesn't cut it. I am hoping that the 20 40 Stud at Commerce will be fun and am hoping for some 30 60 or 40 80 Omaha 8 at Commerce during some MTT series or in Vegas during WSOP. I'm kind of sick of NLH cash games lately and having some variety will help...Live at The Bike may be fun though.
I will start to play more MTTs for a change of pace and cut back on cash game hours unless there are games that are fun to play -- I seem to have lost the ability to grind at a boring table lately. I think that the nicer year-round weather makes it more difficult to sit inside with a bunch of degens at a poker table. If I'm not enjoying it I'm not going to play.
Overall, less grinding and more fun is the goal. Maybe 20-30k profit on the year.
My bankroll is currently at 210$ started at 25$
Wanna work my way up a few levels
Enjoyed continued learning while making a modest profit of say roughly a grand through freerolls and small cash games and also winning my trip to Vegas during the 2013 WSOP.
goals for 2013?
Continue to improve, build the bankroll, have fun.
But as for specific goals? umm.. cash in the WSOP
how many did you play this year?
5k mtts played this year
I find this pretty crazy
it's not tbh, it's around 400 mtts a month. Didn't play much at all for a few months and also went on a few trips.
1) 6k mtts online next year.
2) Play in a new Ept, or WPT.
3) go to a wsopc event somewhere again (went to bc this year)
4) 100k+ profit, want to say 200k cause I really think Im gonna have a great year, but 100k is still good lol.
5) Cash in a live 10k ME....like Pca, wsop ME, etc.
thats all for now lol
FYP, F*** that, aim high... gl on a great year..
2) Finish top 3 in my local poker league (was 7th last year)
3) Build more poker tables. This is still poker related :P
2bb/100 WR playing onrine cashaments
Not be declerate in general
I am also hoping that daughter's soccer will not conflict with Ching Hill, so that I can actually play a full season for a change.
On-line is a different story of course, but I will try to do the same there.
P.S. Count to ten before you hit submit..
-Deposit only once into my Pokerstars account in 2013.
For 2013 I'd be happy with the same, but I really want to ship a major tourney. And not only own turbos, want to get some regular speed wins too. Need some live scores too, haven't cashed a live tourney since Feb I think.
Currently I am in a vicious cycle of depositing $50-$75, double or triple it, then lose it all in a couple of days to a week, deposit again and play on tilt and in desperation, lose that desposit, then one more final deposit only to lose that in record time and finally use the self-exclude feature for 1-3 months for my own financial protection and sanity.
Rinse and repeat.
Live poker. Unfortunately there just seem to be much going on around the Burlington/Oakville/Hamilton/Mississauga area. Therefore I have make a 50-90 km drive for a game. Even then, I am a shift worker and a family man and those cut into my live play opportunities and that brings us to the top of my posting...
Somewhere, but, more often than I did in 2012.
I will find a way to play a Deepstack at Brantford or something at Brantford.
I'm looking forward to more Bap'ing and continuing to kill time/boredom playing my 9 man sng's on Stars.
Looking forward to another year on PFC and of course, another couple of Royals in 2013.

Can't really complain though, spent 5months + in Europe and had a great fucken time! But missed a lot of goals because of it, no regrets though!
Don't ever do this ever again

2012 I played the Fallsview 1k and although I went considerably deeper than I thought I should have, wasn't enough to get to the $$. Had a great time though with all my poker buds, railing and playing table games. Also played GBH tourney once and got as far as 27th I believe. Two horrible beats prevented me from going any deeper, but I played well and enjoyed it. Want to play Brantford games a couple of times this year.
Play more ONLINE MTT's
I've neglected playing online for some reason. Played a lot of micro level cash, but very few MTT's. The ones I did play I min cashed in a few, but nothing really deep or profitable. I know volume is the key to these games, but I simply don't get that much time to play that much volume. Maybe some Sunday games though, we'll see.
Play more underground cash
Got on a bad rush playing 2/5 early in the year, and couldn't really turn it around playing the undergrounds. And I'm still abit leary about playing them for the most part, but I did get out a couple of times. Didn't appear that my bad run in these games was over yet so I'm still avoiding for the most part, but hope to turn this around. This is on the BOTTOM of my list though.
