My aim for 2013 is... Have 12 / 12 winning months on DYMs without using C4P Make it onto "Any game by network" leaderboard on Sharkscope Make it onto the overall $16 - $35 double or nothing leaderboard (No Sky player has ever made it on at this level) Make Priority every month. The priority aim could be the hardest for me... I am currently playing a mixture of £11 and £16.50 DYMs and last month I only made 5100 C4P as I only play 4 at a time. Next year I'm going to move to £16.50 and £22 so I will need to up the volume slightly. Posted by FlashFlush
I did in 2011, although granted the games were alot softer then, and according to sharkscope 18and5time made it as well
Would have been alot higher if I had played them all year :-(
Get a Hendon Mob Flag want to play in a ukipt go to an spt get a decent enough bink to take family on hols(only had 2 last year) Grinding more as been lazy the past month and in general just keep improving as a player
I think I achieved 1 or 2 of my 2012 goals but most I didn't because of :
even though it has been a profitable year, I've fallen out of love for the game. so the main aim is to get back the enjoyment/love for poker how I do that is anyone's guess
go to and play in a live Sky event or go to DTD in Nottingham which isn't too far away.
Good luck to everyone here. Still love the site/forum.
I was thinking about this thread earlier today and I couldn't even remember my own goals, so I thought I'd go on the hunt, find this thread and give it a bump
We're 4 months into the year and how is everyone doing?
I've yet to FT an SPT and yet to cash for £500. I have played some live cash now albeit, not very successfully. I have been playing a bit more live this year but hoping to do even more. I'd probably now add to my list that I wanna FT a ME on Sky.
The closest I'm coming to a meeting a goal is that I've gone from 4NL to 30NL and am heading in the right direction to get to 50NL before the year is out
You on target for supernova Perc? How is everyone else doing?
1, Play less, enjoy it more. - DONE 2, Win an 8pm Main Event on Sky - Had a 2nd, 8th and 9th so far which isn't bad considering I've played very few 3, Make it to Vegas for the WSOP - unlikely to happen this year unless I can bink a seat with Sky 4, Play a UKIPT event - Not yet but will hopefully happen later in year. 5, I'll steal one of Julians too - fitter, healthier and more productive - 1 out of 3 6, Spend more time with my wife and family - working on it.
I also had a target to get my Sharkscope ability to 80 which I have finally managed
Great thread I plan to play on sky a lot more next year and also want to play more live so my goals are Sort out BR management - Looking good so far Make an SPT final table - Played 1, 1 fail! Win a daily main (got 2nd in a monthly roller this year) Done Get top 20 on sharkscope scheduled by network profit on sky - Currently no. 1 so looking good so far Win $10k in an individual tournament (I have a few $8k/$9k scores) Still no $10k win, had a $7k win I will steal one from Julians....fitter, healthier and more productive Epic fail! Ideally I also want to play the WSOP main event again was such a good experience Would be an awesome year if I can achieve the above Good luck with everyone achieving their goals! Posted by MattBates
Good bump with this thread Lambert, I made the goals but then haven't tracked anything which kind of defeats the point of setting them in the first place!

I play alot Mahony but get alot of haters for this. Ave 70-90 hrs per week. Going to play less hours when new points system comes in. Less tables and concentrate on win rate. GL sir.

who hates on you for this??? probably people who are to bone idol to put any hours in, i admire your dedication!!!
1. Get my Scope into the green (started off negative as winning a super sat into the roller didn't show through, but the roller loss did). Very recently went green!
2. Stay off the cash tables (was spewing off too much at 20 and 30NL, can't be trusted with />100BB!) until I can invest time to learn the discipline. Have played 4 and 10NL in the background of MTTs through boredom, small positive results and less spewing but shouldn't be doing this.
3. Learn to play Omaha and Hi-Lo. Dabbled in the former at 4NL wouldn't be confident in MTTs just yet. Have read the rules of Hi-Lo but not yet started.
4. Final table a main event on TV night. Achieved, disappointed to finish 6th though.
5. Be in the running for mini and main post 10pm break on a TV night (basically like my name being read out!). Don't play both often, haven't made it yet.

Thanks ROCKS. I don't want to name names but they are mostly regs. Its usually along the lines of...get out more and get a life. Little do they know I play football for a dedicated team and gym 4 times a week and like to squeeze in a big night out now and then. Plus my car is getting alot of work done at the mo so everything I make will be going on that this month. Been to the Toon game tonight. Great game, great atmosphere. Shame about my overs bet.

Yeh, fair play for that dedication. I'd be seeing stars if I tried that. I searched you last night. You were playing 16 tables?
What set up do you have if you don't mind me asking? Do you tile or stack tables etc? I used to be able to play 10-12 without much lag, although it was a bit much for me personally.
Now 7-8 tables, playing on the download version is getting laggy. Possibly because where I'm living now has just changed from zen broadband to talk talk. I can remember talk talk being complete cack a couple of years ago.
Good luck with your goals.
One more thing...... Were you trying to sell me your car before having all the work done on it that it needs ?.?.??

6. Cash for over £500 in an MTT. Nope.
7. Play fewer satellites. Getting there.
8. Make an SPT. Played London, great fun.
Aint looked through them all but looks like Scotty made a decent dent in his goals. And Percy is now a beast!
I was right, I did fail on most of my targets.
