WhatArunAA 0 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I saw this same thread at P5s and thought it was a good idea. With 2008 quickly approaching I think its important to reflect on the past year of poker and how you plan to improve as a player for the next year.. What are some goals that you have for 2008?Some of mine...1. I would like to get on a regular schedule of playing tourneys/SNGS and have 2 days off per week.2. Id like to make 200k in profit throughout 20083. Id like to final table a WSOP event( circuit, prelim.. anything)4. Id like to get ranked on p5s because if I get ranked it means im playing a sick volume( which I def want to do).5. Buy a sweet ass house and have tourney pros live with me.

E-Cart6 0 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Woow, those are some big goals. Lots of GL on those, you'll probably need it, but i believe anything can be accomplished if you work hard enough.Haven't thought of this myself, but it's interesting to think about. I think i might give this a thought later during the weekend.For now i only have one goal:Going to bed within the next 10 minutes :)Gn all! Link to post Share on other sites

SpiderGuard 0 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 2008 goals - In poker, I want to become a winning player at mid-limit Stud, Stud8, and Razz.Outside of poker, I'm going to try finish my dissertation and earn my Ph.D, and will hopefully publish 3 more articles between now and December 31, 2008.Personally, I need to make more time for my friends (a couple of them specifically) in 2008. So I'm going to plan a trip to Hilton Head with one and...well something fun with the other. Link to post Share on other sites

Cappy37 0 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 1.) PLAY LESS HANDS PER ORBIT IN HORSE CASH GAMES.2.) Take my roll and start playing more $4.40s to see if I can hack it against the donkey nation.3.) Post more less.4.) Be better luck on the rail.5.) Find a less interesting but more financially stable day job with full benefits.6.) Read up as much as possible on Stud Hi and LHE to pick up nuances I feel I'm lacking as I move up in limits.7.) See if I can take $400 to $1000 like I took $40 to $400 (read: slow, steady, consistent).8.) Win a sunday major and get my own well, because it would a superthread like this board has never seen. There may even be questions poker related. ;)Good luck to everyone in making their 2008 goals come true. And everyone should resolve to stop playing connectors OOP in opened pots, we're better than that. Link to post Share on other sites

And everyone should resolve to stop playing connectors OOP in opened pots, we're better than that. I hate this last piece of advice. Playing connectors OOP is fun. Then again, it doesn't cost as much in LHE to take them to the flop.As far as Stud - post hands and AIM me. Link to post Share on other sites

TB17 0 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 It's not as easy as it sounds.It's as easy as you make it. Seriously bro if you want to lose weight you have to be committed just like you are in poker. I know it's hard when you loaft around the comp (and I'm not talking down on you because I'm the same way),but anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Fat camp won't make you lose weight in the long run, neither will liposuction or any of those quick fixes. It's all about your commitment and your drive to lose it.*cue eye of the tiger music* Link to post Share on other sites
