Any one have any resolutions you want to share? Do you set goals for the new year?

1. Get a divorce so I can play more poker without someone nagging at me!
2. Get dual monitors so I can play double the number of games
3. Find a boss who will let me play poker at work

Is that list too much to strive for?

1. BR to 10,000 by 2010
2. Make more money weekly at poker than work by August
3. Get in shape, mentally avoid tilt, physically lose 20 pounds
4. Balance poker, work, and family...mostly keep them all seperate in my mind.

we will see.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

starting with 300+ for the experiment. i figure getting it to $1000 in the first month will be my goal, also the hard part, but if i can do that the $10,000 should be easy.

300 into 10k is impressive.

i was thinking of putting $1k into a gambling account and see what i have at this time next year. i don't play as much as you guys though. just small $$ local games and a samll league or two. maybe a couple trips to the riverboats. nothing online though.

Stop calling when when the little voice in my head says "fold, you idiot, your xxx are no good"...

The little voice is always right, well, most of the time anyway.

Win a package to go o/s and play donks for the title (more of a dream than a goal).

Don't let those 24hour a day losers no life MOFO's call you a DONK!
Your life is already worth more than their's.
