They always say that in order to meet your goals you must first write them out and own up to them, so here I go. I have my monthly, semi-yearly, and yearly goals below.

-Have my balance of vpps at 25,000 by the end of Feb without depositing any money
-Achieve platinum status
-Most importantly, play smart poker!!!
Semi-Yearly (by June)
-Earn 100,000 vpps and become a supernova
-Learn how to play 24 tables without going on tilt
-Cash in FPP's and travel to vegas
-Earn a positive bankroll in the process
-Fix the holes in my game
-Keep playing smart poker
Yearly- (By Dec.)
-Earn 200,000 vpps
-Have a new computer set up with 2 monitors
-Win a MTT with a decent prize
-Qualify to play in a live tourney such as PCA or WSOP
-Earn enough money to be able to make a living in 2012
-As always, Continue to play smart poker
Lofty goals. I will say winning an MTT is more of a wish then a goal, but more power toya :)
ReplyDeleteYou e-mailed me about tips for 24 tabling:

-Practice, practice, practice while trying to add tables a little at a time. Move down in tables when you feel yourself slipping (timing out, mis-clicking, etc), then try again.
As for tilt, quit looking at how much your up/down during a session & play lower if results stress you out. Being over-bankrolled is huge in the fight against not tilting as much. Also, Tommy Angelo's book "The elements of poker" is awesome.

Hi Barbiaux,
ReplyDeleteMy $.02 regrading not tilting. Since you're shortstacking, dont look at the tables once you push. If you're playing 24 tables, I assume you arent following hands you arent in, dont follow hands that you are in either (although this really only works once you have enough hands to figure out calling ranges). And +1 to the BR. Toughest part about playing poker imo is staying within the BR.
