Title: Poker / Life Goals for 2014
Post by: hi_am_chris on December 25, 2013, 22:38:56 PM
As the title implies, what do you want to do / achieve in 2014 both in poker and life in general?

I"m looking for a very big online MTT score in 2014.  I stopped all live social poker last April to focus on improving my game, putting in about 10 hrs a week just studying not playing.  I have made about 9 final tables in December inc a 2nd last night in the Sky Open for £900.
Life goals are to keep healthy and lose 2 stone!

Poker.... Online to be more patient and stop making marginal calls.... Play like I did on Christmas Eve more often and I"ll be a happy man.
Poker.... Live, to try and get to more tournaments but not be as drunk as a skunk before/during playing.
Life.... Not to get injured in work, the staff cuts in the Prison Service are getting really dangerous now. Also, once the New Year celebrations and January is out the way to lose weight and get fitter. I"m nearly 50 now and the cons in jail aren"t going to give me any leeway just because I"m older than them.
As for the coming year surely it can"t be as bad as this one. Lost some close people this year. Maybe people I know will start getting married or bring babies into this world, cause for celebration.
Finally, I know we can all dream but it might just be Liverpool"s year... That might be asking for a bit too much for 2014.

Poker: hopefully learning to play a bit more agressive
and well having a successful year due to time, i will mainly play sit and goes, but will try a few tourneys either during day or one weekend a month, with having moved and still not being as settled as I would love to be my poker sort of is a mess. So mainly my goal is have a regular weekend, or morning to play and find tourneys which suit me and well where I do well
I would not mind having a team thing or some sort of a challenge though

Life: quite a lot really, loosing weight a lot weight, getting a bit more settled here in England, doing some classes at London Jewellery school, doing more art this year than I did last year, I not did this much and I am awfully missing it, makes me grumpy as well, be more patient if someone annoys me or better ignore it better, looking for a "proper" job back in my job as soon we have a house and do actually know where we will live, i am working in a customer support currently which is not quite my job and have not really studied for this. So I hope this will be sorted out soon. And well just the normal having a nice, healthy and a happy year

Life :   To make more time for family.  Be more tolerant.  To look after myself better and eat healthier

Poker : 1.To continue to concentrate on the mixed games and accept I am rubbish at NL Hold em.
         2. To get my first WSOP Cash.  3 attempts so far (2x Horse, 1 x Stud Hi Lo)  Twice less than 8 places off the
            money :(
         3. Play on the inaugral season of the US seniors Tour - Plenty of mixed Games for sad Limit players like me and
         see someone else in america besides Nevada!!
