2009 results/2010 goals

Finished up on the year, for the 3rd straight year...which is always good. The year wasn't nearly what I hoped it would be.. but I didn't expect to move 750 miles from where I was living, and not find work for half the year... so I guess I'll take what I can. 2009 certainly was a year of maturity for me, in terms of poker. I worked really hard on conquering a lot of my tilt issues, and I think I was very successful. I'm much better at not allowing results and downswings to effect the way I play or my mood. I'm much more positive while playing, and complain I rarely complain about standard statistics (ie "bad beats). I've spent time picking the brains of 2p2'ers that I really respect.. and picking up different things they do to be successful and incorporating them into my game... and I think that is something that will really help me in 2010.

Now time for 2010:

I'll be starting the year playing 10nl at RPM Poker with 25 buy-ins. I plan on really focusing on cash games to start the year, but will put $250 back onto Poker Stars after a few months, for the purpose of grinding 180man sngs on Saturdays and Sundays. Once I start hitting 50nl and 100nl.. I'll be moving money over to Bodog, so that I can have better game selection, since merge is a bit week at those levels because of the terrible bad beat jackpot tables that I refuse to play on.

Poker Goals
[ ] Crush every level from 10nl and up
[ ] Become at least a 100nl reg, aiming for 200nl reg
[ ] No less than 12,000 hands per month (other than maybe August, where I'll barely be home).. aim for 125,000 hands for the year minimum... try and hit 150,000.
[ ] Get a deucescracked subscription early in the year, and maintain it all year.
[ ] Stop wasting time posting so much on 2p2.. when I do post on 2p2, post more in strategy forums and much less in Beginners Forum

[ ] Do a better job when it comes to record keeping.
