Goal threads are always popular this time of year, so heres a good point to bookmark some things you'd like to achieve in 2015 in poker and outside of it
While I'm not a big goal setter, I like being able to look back at certain points in time and see how I've advanced, so I'll set some tentative goals and see how I go
Have my biggest volume year online - I'm not a big online grinder, I really only fire up for random Sundays. I'd like to play more midweek and force myself to play more Australian nightly schedules instead of ignoring them because theyre pretty shitty
Have an online $10k+ score - Money goals are stupid because its one of the only things you cant control in this game. You can control your output and your effort, but the $ returned is out of your control, but I'll put it here as a reminder that if I have a good year, what my actual expectiations were at the start
Play the Super Tuesday and Sunday 500- I've never played these tournaments, but its about time I got involved I think
Be sensible with live buyins - The last two years since I had my scores I've been very reckless with live MTT buyins, playing four 10ks and lots of $1k and $2ks, which I shouldnt have done. I heard a really good Aussie online player say the other day that he wouldnt play any Aussie millions live events if he was on his own dime because of the variance. That stuck with me, hes got a lot more money than me and is a lot better, so if hes saying theyre not worth playing then its worth considering. In saying that, I'll still be playing lots of high value events, just not as many as the last couple of years.
Talk more HH- Pretty simple this one, studying is important and I dont do enough of it
Outside of poker I'd like to continue to get fitter, the last 6 months I've lost 7-8kgs and feel great. I'd also like to have an official golf handicap, I'm not sure whats achievable but I should be breaking 100 on my next round, so I guess something around 20 is within my grasp. I'd also like to build my own computer, Ive been doing some asking around in the PC forum and getting advice, so this is a simple one that I'd like to do.
And I guess the most important one is, end the year with more money than I started
