    I missed one out - learn some new variations of the game.

    Non poker related goals;
    Sleep less!
    Go to devils pool in Zimbabwe. That place looks insane!

    Take down that jackpot.  It taunts me.

    On a slightly more realistic note as Im still quite new to this.

    1) Win a main on sky.  2nd this year.  One more place and im there.
    2) Love rancids comment - stop calling to confirm reads.  WHY DO I DO IT?
    3) Sort out BR.
    4) Dont play when tilted - playing angry is not good.
    5) Make sure I never take it too seriously.  Poker is a game and should be enjoyed.  Sometimes I can forget that
    6) Play a live event - I have never played one.  Rookie eh?!

    My aim for 2013 is...

    Have 12 / 12 winning months on DYMs without using C4P
    Make it onto "Any game by network" leaderboard on Sharkscope
    Make it onto the overall $16 - $35 double or nothing leaderboard (No Sky player has ever made it on at this level)
    Make Priority every month.

    The priority aim could be the hardest for me... I am currently playing a mixture of £11 and £16.50 DYMs and last month I only made 5100 C4P as I only play 4 at a time. Next year I'm going to move to £16.50 and £22 so I will need to up the volume slightly.

    as a fairly low stakes player who has improved my online game in 2012, my goals for 2013 are, to have 12 profitable months, to win a mini main, to final table a main and finally to cash in an SPT! would be lovely to achieve all of these but i think it may be a little optimisitc

    good thread,

    will give it some more thought over christmas but at present goals would be;

    enjoy playing
    improve in-game thought processes
    improve online MTT focus

    long term;
    play the irish open & at least one other major
    FT a UKIPT main event
    fitter, healthier & more productive

    Great thread

    I plan to play on sky a lot more next year and also want to play more live so my goals are

    Sort out BR management
    Make an SPT final table
    Win a daily main (got 2nd in a monthly roller this year)
    Get top 20 on sharkscope scheduled by network profit on sky
    Win $10k in an individual tournament (I have a few $8k/$9k scores)

    I will steal one from Julians....fitter, healthier and more productive

    Ideally I also want to play the WSOP main event again was such a good experience

    Would be an awesome year if I can achieve the above

    Good luck with everyone achieving their goals!

    I did in 2011, although granted the games were alot softer then, and according to sharkscope 18and5time made it as well

    Would have been alot higher if I had played them all year :-(

    just 2 for me

    I think I achieved 1 or 2 of my 2012 goals but most I didn't because of :

    even though it has been a profitable year, I've fallen out of love for the game.
    so the main aim is to get back the enjoyment/love for poker
    how I do that is anyone's guess

    go to and play in a live Sky event or go to DTD in Nottingham which isn't too far away.

    Good luck to everyone here. Still love the site/forum.

    Have a great Christmas and great New Year.

    Hey all,

    I was thinking about this thread earlier today and I couldn't even remember my own goals, so I thought I'd go on the hunt, find this thread and give it a bump

    We're 4 months into the year and how is everyone doing?

    I've yet to FT an SPT and yet to cash for £500. I have played some live cash now albeit, not very successfully. I have been playing a bit more live this year but hoping to do even more. I'd probably now add to my list that I wanna FT a ME on Sky.

    The closest I'm coming to a meeting a goal is that I've gone from 4NL to 30NL and am heading in the right direction to get to 50NL before the year is out

    You on target for supernova Perc? How is everyone else doing?

    My progress report after 4 months.

    1, Play less, enjoy it more. - DONE
    2, Win an 8pm Main Event on Sky - Had a 2nd, 8th and 9th so far which isn't bad considering I've played very few
    3, Make it to Vegas for the WSOP - unlikely to happen this year unless I can bink a seat with Sky
    4, Play a UKIPT event - Not yet but will hopefully happen later in year.
    5, I'll steal one of Julians too - fitter, healthier and more productive - 1 out of 3
    6, Spend more time with my wife and family - working on it.

    I also had a target to get my Sharkscope ability to 80 which I have finally managed :)

    Good bump with this thread Lambert, I made the goals but then haven't tracked anything which kind of defeats the point of setting them in the first place!

    well back in early December i said my goals were to continue playing DYM's and continue building my b/roll...

    haven't played a single DYM (from memory) this year..

    b/roll has increased by £13.74 this year.  lol  (due to changing to playing cash)

    I play alot Mahony but get alot of haters for this.  Ave 70-90 hrs per week.  Going to play less hours when new points system comes in.  Less tables and concentrate on win rate.  GL sir.

    My unadvertised goals were

    1. Get my Scope into the green (started off negative as winning a super sat into the roller didn't show through, but the roller loss did). Very recently went green!

    2. Stay off the cash tables (was spewing off too much at 20 and 30NL, can't be trusted with />100BB!) until I can invest time to learn the discipline. Have played 4 and 10NL in the background of MTTs through boredom, small positive results and less spewing but shouldn't be doing this.

    3. Learn to play Omaha and Hi-Lo. Dabbled in the former at 4NL wouldn't be confident in MTTs just yet. Have read the rules of Hi-Lo but not yet started.

    4. Final table a main event on TV night. Achieved, disappointed to finish 6th though.

    5. Be in the running for mini and main post 10pm break on a TV night (basically like my name being read out!). Don't play both often, haven't made it yet.

    6. Cash for over £500 in an MTT. Nope.

    7. Play fewer satellites. Getting there.

    8. Make an SPT. Played London, great fun.

    Thanks ROCKS.  I don't want to name names but they are mostly regs.  Its usually along the lines of...get out more and get a life.  Little do they know I play football for a dedicated team and gym 4 times a week and like to squeeze in a big night out now and then.  Plus my car is getting alot of work done at the mo so everything I make will be going on that this month.  Been to the Toon game tonight.  Great game, great atmosphere.  Shame about my overs bet.

    Thank you for the kind words!
