ok, i'm trying to figure out what i want from poker.

I enjoy it most of the time. I can make a salary equivalent from it. But....

How important do you think goal-setting in poker is? starts out easy, make my first $1000, $5k, etc... but then?
Right now I am struggling to decide what my poker aspirations are.
What are yours?

don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

Make one hundred billion dollars imo.

Seriously though monetary goal r bad. Learn HU or 6 max or something. Play less tables and focus on getting a sexier win rate.

Poker Orifice is an unknown quantity at this point

Good question.
I was out with a friend for breakfast this morning and he asked me the very same question.
I've been playing recreationally for awhile now online and some live tourneys & sng's too, mostly micro stuff but with a few ok online MTT cashes and a few live tourney ones too (just small stuff mostly).

My friend saw a tourney on TV last night that I had visited last year - the BCPC (B.C. Poker Championships which Daniel Negreanu won, $2,500 buyin, great structure comparable to WSOP events and attracts alot of popular pros). He asked me, "So, are you going to enter it next year?" Unsure I responded, "Ah... I dunno..."
He says, "Why not make it a goal?"
You see, last year when I went there to watch it, the reason for going was because my g/f won a chance to play Gavin Smith HeadsUp for $500. At the same time I won a SNG with Brad Booth, Bryan Devnoshire, Maria HO, Dennis Phillips, Gavin, Tiffany Michelle and a few others. I won $1,000 & and an all-expense paid trip to the casino there in the Penthouse suite. Hmm.. maybe a perfect time to use my free 3-day weekend?
So... that's my goal. In the meantime my plan is to be a reg. in the $50+ buyin MTTs on Fulltilt.
GL on the tables!
