    Well my main short (ish) term goal is to work through the cash levels and build up a big enough BR so I'm comfortably rolled to play 50NL so about £2,500.

    I think I'll be playing 20NL a couple of months into 2013, then just see where I go from there.

    reach supernova on another site, move up to at least 50nl, hopefully 100nl, and final table the stupid big $11 for $12k. #onetimeplsgod

    Yea Florida mate and pass includes the 4 parks on 1 day epcot, magic kingdom, animal kingdom and Hollywood studios but doesnt include the 2 water parks. Yea basically all the employees get 8 passes each year for 3 people on 1 day for family and friends which arnt supposed to be sold but most of them sell them to tourists for cheaper than what they would originally pay if they bought the tickets through disney.  

    When i worked there a 1 day hopper pass was $80 a day for 1 person when employees would be selling the tickets for $100 for 3 people.  So the tourists were saving $140 getting it this way.

  • edited December 2012
    Average at least 35hours per week.
    Play some live poker, cash (I keep hearing how juicy live games are!) and MTT's.
    Play more main events on SKY.
    Make at least 12k from C4P
    Improve my MTT game (mainly eradicating fancy play syndrome when there's no need!)
    Play some SPT's


  • edited December 2012
    Wow, cheers for that old thread Ryan! 

    My goal was simply to cash in an SPT. Achieved that in Cardiff 3rd for about 1900 beans,

    Also i said get back to basics and then things i want will follow... well I won a lot of mtts on sky including 2 mains, so it's been a good year.

    2013 is all about nailing BRM and Discipline. I want to turn that £11 into a really decent 4 figure sum without depositing again. 

    Good luck all!

    To try and reinforce my belief that I aint gonna win every time and when I get sucked out on,its not some great conspiracy to rob me of my (miniscule) br.Also to actually get deep in some sort of tourney and deffo get to spt Dublin to meet some of you.
    Cheers

    Thought I'd put some more specific goals down...

    1) Final table an SPT (Could do that in Luton before 2013 even starts)
    2) Be rolled for and holding my own at 50NL.
    3) Play more live poker
    4) Finally give live cash a spin (probably do this at Luton if the games are good)
    5) Cash in an MTT for £500+

    HI CKD

    Good post m8. Nice to see aims and goals of others. I'm 18 months playing so mine are a bit less spectacular.

    Play in a SPT and meet the guys from THS and people i know in the forum.
    Whilst there meet Tikay, Anna, Rich, and the guys and thank them for getting me interested in the first place.
    Be given the chance to answer thse Q's for tv...i've got some crackers.
    Improve my game by possibly getting coaching or through an approved site such as deuces cracked
    Play more live poker.
    Learn to play Omaha.
    BIGGEST.....Continue to enjoy the game.
  • edited December 2012
