It's New Years Eve! 2006 has come and almost gone, and I have to say this was a good year. This post is going to be geared toward my goals for 2007, with probably a few thoughts and comments here and there.

Overall goals for 2007:

#1. ) Pay off my school loans entirely.

This will cost about 10k. I want to use a very solid approach to raising this money playing poker, using good, sound bankroll management and by putting in enough hours to get the job done within a reasonable amount of time. I have decided I will use a 25-30 buyin cushion to determine what stakes I will play at a given time, and not play terribly overrolled like I was at Party.

#2. ) Continue to fund bills with poker. I already have a decent amount set aside, enough to last me for a good while.

#3. ) Work on my tournament game. Even though it seems to be the concensus that the "real" money is in cash games, I have always felt like my tournament game was nothing special and I want to feel the magic of making final tables and hopefully winning a MTT. How exactly I will go about this I haven't decided yet..I may spend a full month on exclusively tourneys.

#4. ) Begin saving (post school loan payment), for a vehicle. What kind or price range is undetermined at this point. When I complete #1, I will decide more on this.

#5. ) Continue to track my progress as I have done, and increase my winrate by learning how to play against my opponents better.

And that's it. Here's to a new year!
