2008 Goals

Well, i was lying awake last night (or this morning should i say :D) after finishing another successful session, bringing my roll to $6100 and wondering what goals should i set myself for the oh so promising year of 2008.

After some thought and calculations i worked out that if i play around 1370 hands a day (about 2 hours tops for me) every day this year, i'd end up with 500k hands under my belt. Now obv some days i'd be playing more and some days i won't play at all but i think this can be done without too much effort. Although i'm looking for a crappy part time job atm for "work experience" so i'd have to find extra places to play some more hands.. which probably just means sleeping less :) Also, i can't record how many hands played in PT from carbon poker, so i'd have to play the majority at the Ipoker network, which i prefer anyway.

Under that same calculation, i worked out that if i run 5BB/100 @ 100NL for 500k hands (currently at 9BB/100.. can't really say if its sustainable yet), i'd make a yearly profit of around $50,000 which is a HUGE amount of money to me, and seems very realistic of obtaining. Obviously, i don't want to spend the rest of this year playing 100NL so i think i'm gonna have to set some goals.

Goal 1: Play 500k Hands (currently 5000 recorded but probs around 15-20k played)
Goal 2: Have a bankroll of $25000+ by the end of the year (currently $6100)
Goal 3: Be at least a 400NL reg by the end of the year. (Currently 100NL)

Curious to hear what Blue+Fitz have planned for this year :D

Until next time... Happy donking!
