I've seen a few posts relating to peoples poker goals. Here's my effort.

Having lost a fair amount of dosh playing poker over about 2 or 3years, I'm giving it my serious efforts. In the past I have played a mixture of 25/50/100 NL, being a losing player at all! I've now started to play FL $1/$2 mainly

A few weeks back I deposited $400 in WillHill. I pretty much donked it all off on Saturday, $300 worth playing limits that I'm unrolled for. That was it I decided! Time to get a little more serious - I purchased Poker Tracker and PockerAce HUD.

Thankfully after 1k hands with PT I've grinded back up to $350.

Goals
1. Become a consisent winning player at $1/$2 FL SHHE
2. Play 10k hands within the next month
3. Dont tilt
4. Build my BR to $1,000 within 2 months ( Is this do-able?)
5. NEVER play limits I'm unrolled for
6. Stop mouthing off at the tables

Hopefully as I'm documenting my progress here and on my blog I won't do anything stupid - like normal LOL. Any encouragement and advice would be helpful.

I will update as necessary!

Thanks
Muzz

The 1st $1000 is certainly the toughest. If you play 20K hands over the next 2 months you will do extremely well to win $800. (which would be a very good winrate of 2BB/100 hands).

At these limits you should be making most of your profit from the generous bonuses that the crypto sites give you every month. Only problem is that the bigger ones like Poker Plex and Interpoker clear fastest playing 2/4 6 max and it sounds like you have bit to go yet before you are ready for that step up. Be patient and you will get there, but it may take a little longer than 2 months.

Played last night for about 3 hours, just 1 or 2 tabling at most. Lost $50-ish. Oh well! BR @ $310-ish over 1.4k hands

Think I'll give it a break tonight, feeling rather tired with playing 3hours of poker a night and working full-time too!

Will post a few hands/stats later on
