2006 Goals

A few weeks ago I posted my 2006 poker goals on FTF. This is as good as of a time as any to post them on here now that I'm all reflective after getting pwned by PMB AND the river tonight.
To be clear, I want to reach these goals by Dec 1, 2006, which is a little over one year since I began playing.

Personal Goals:
  1. Develop the discipline to completely focus, and not play if I can't.
  2. Refine my record keeping system significantly.
  3. Master the numbers side of poker - pot odds, implied odds, odds of improving, hand rankings, game theory, etc.
  4. Master the concepts in the books I have read to date before moving on. (HOH 1 & 2 and Sklansky specifically)
  5. Significantly improve my short handed game.

Numerical Goals:

  1. Reach a profit per hour (for at least one month) of $50 per hour by December.
  2. Specifically I would like to master a SNG level that would allow a consistent PPH of $50 or more.
  3. Win place or show in six MTTs of any level.
  4. Place ITM (no matter how low) in a 'major' MTT. ($100k or greater)
  5. Play twice for a significant amount of time in live games in Las Vegas or other casino venue.

I'll post my grades at the end of every month. For December I came in 2nd in one tournament - the $17.5K GTD on Bodog. Five to go.
