2011 goals

in rings the new year and time to put away the brutal 2010 life wise and an ok 2010 poker wise to usher in a new year. i have been working with tag poker and things are going along well as i climb the ranks and get forever closer to top team. i took almost 2 months off to open my store in my day life but i am coming back with a strong open to 2011. i have vowed to put up my true potential numbers wise for poker and in life.

2011 goals

- top team on tag poker

- 10 k in profits online.

- playing the 50's plus hu on my own roll

- work my way up to 300 games a month.

- win 1 live tournament(play 2 a month)

- qualify for the pca 2012.

- play 2 small buy in event at this years wsop in june.

all very attainable goals for myself. i will be pushing hard to get my games in and reach these goals. i am working with another player from the uk who has the same goals as me. he has the same family situation as me as well as the same work restraints. he is dedicated by getting up to play at 5 am to grind for 2 hours before work. it works out perfectly as he is on when i am on( morning there night here). we are starting to exchange hand histories and work on our game daily. everything i have learned about poker has lead me to this - no matter how good u are or think u are u need to work on your game harder the better u get. i look at a guy like tome dwan who has a style all his own and so many people try and duplicate it. he works harder on his game then 90% of the players out there. in his years coming up he helped to usher in the lag-loose aggressive style. it has become such a big change on the game that it has been adopted into tourney,cash and hu games. my point is that he works hard to stay one step ahead of the curve.

another example is sidney crosby in the nhl. not only is he a premier player and goal scorer he scored the golden goal. this off season he put on 20 pounds of muscle and came back this season bigger faster stronger. he came back hungrier then the year before and he has lead the lead in scoring out of the gate and has no signs of letting up. i look at both sidney and toms discipline for there games and hope that i can work as hard or harder then them to get to my goals.

i set my goals i measure my goals and i have set up running mates to help me along the way. it is all starting to come together imo. this is the year. i also commit to 2 blogs min a month.

here's to 2011
