Been a While... Reflect on 2008/2009 Goals

Well, 2008 is in the books poker-wise, and its on to 2009.

Highlights of 2008:

-Getting backed

-FT'ing the $50k and $100k on Cake in B2B weeks, also finishing 2nd in the $10r in those same weeks

-*Some* profit

-Lot of close calls to make some serious money, unfortunately... didn't hit the big big scores this year.

I had a goal of getting to $10k in profit... I didn't come close.  I got closer, but no go.  This is because I didn't really have much of a plan, nor did I stick to one I would formulate.  So, I came up with one and here we go...

-Play4 days a week, 40 DU's a day

-At least 25% of them must be $50's or higher, although I think it'll be exclusively $27's for the first few months with a few $50's mixed in

-Maintain an 8% ROI in the $27's (I'm off pace in this, I need to work on improving)

-Maintain a 5% ROI in the $50's or above

-Not playing more then consecutive days for the most part (Sun-Mon, Thurs-Fri, and occassional Sat mornings)

-Sundays obv play any and all tournies possible

-Final table the $50k/$100k/$250k 3 times combined

-Win a tournament a month

-End with $10k+ profits in tournaments

If I do this, it will get me to 8500 SNG's on the year... 

8% ROI in 75% $27's= $13,770 profit + $4,207.5 RB

5% ROI in 25% $50's= $5,685 profit + $2,454 RB

Total Profit= $26,116.5 (Would be nice IMO)

Things to note:

-8% ROI prob unrealistic in the $27's if I'm constantly 9-12 tabling... 6 tabling would be a different story, but I wouldn't get enough volume in to justify it.  

-I can prob end up with more then 25% of my volume above the $50 mark.  I just know that early on its going to be exclusively $27's as I fine tune my game a little.

-I will stay fresh as I get an average of 15 tables in per hour, so this should take 3 hours a night on the times I do it.  Sundays I will just mix in to my regular volume.

I just bought a new computer, router, and I got the new monitors so handling the volume isn't going to be a problem hardware wise.   I just need to stick to it.  

I'll start updating this more, it'll keep me on pace hopefully.  Wish me luck
