    In order of toughness:

    Poker
    - Be own-diming $55s and under consistently by Summer
    - Hit SuperNova, or attain Black Card at some point in 2011
    - Profit $75,000 in MTTs
    - End the year with a $40,000 Personal Bankroll

    Life
    - Get a downpayment on a house
    - Lose 30 lbs (Currently 290 lbs)
    - Get rid of all my debt besides the new house (Bank Loan + Wedding = ~$19,000)

    Keeping a blog of my progress here: Part Time Poker Forums

    Ended the year with an extremely lazy 900 MTTs played. Aiming for 2000 this year, approx 40/week (8/day for 5 out of 7 days).
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    uh...anyone else see the inherent flaw with this plan?

    Seems like you'd just be digging yourself a deeper hole if you don't know how to beat hte 6m games?

    this seems to be the magic # for a lot of players this year.

    My only goal is to play 4k MTTs. Would be cool if I made money at the same time, though.

    2011 Poker Goal? Play more. Fold more. Stop playing 10nl and 25nl with a 2k bankroll.

    Just get back on track and get some goddamn focus and discipline. Last year was going ok but went to shit in the last couple of months. In the main, I know where I went wrong - just need to put it right now.

    Nothing near that. I can already beat it with good selection, but because I refuse to work anymore than a bare minimum, my roll is ghastly

    can someone whos good at remembering things, remember to bump this at the end of the year and see if we completed our goals?

    my goals are to spend more time studying and more time playing. To take every hand seriously and not just spew buy ins in terrible calls because someone took some funky line. I want to make supernova, and i want to be playing at least 100nl by the end of the year, preferably 200nl

    Beating 25NL, which I realize sounds very small, but that would be a good year for me seeing as I started 2011 at 2NL!!
