Alright, I'll just start by talking about my results in 2008. I had a very very good year. I deposited $50 in March and turned it into $26,000 of profit by the end of the year including bonuses. It was a pretty sick run and am really glad I decided to deposit that $50 what seems like ages ago. I feel like my game has improved so much over the course of the year and feel confident enough to beat FR/6max/and HU up to 200NL (Ok, well I haven't really played any 200NL HU but it cant be that hard right?). The one thing that I haven't conquered yet is controlling my anger and tilt and not caring about the money. I really thought I had made great strides in my tilt control lately but last month was an absolute disaster. I'm not sure if it was me playing so many hands trying to get SN, or my move to mostly 6max, but I tilted like no other and it cost me a lot of profit i think. I've decided to quit HU play b/c that tilts me like no other. I am going to get a copy of Tommy Angelo's Elements of Poker and hopefully that will help me. I posted my year graph at the end of the post if u wish to see it.
So now that it is officially 2009 I guess I will talk about some of my poker goals for the year. I am planning on playing full time for a living after I graduate in May and would prefer to be at least playing 400NL at that time. I am planning on playing 100NL 6max for the rest of January while playing the 200NL tables when they look juicy. February is where I plan to totally transition to 200NL and stay there. I'm currently more than Bankrolled for 200NL so that's not really a problem and I don't think its that much harder to beat than 200NL, I just have to get used to the limit and not outlevel myself. I also plan to get some more coaching over the next couple months to really prepare myself for 200NL and beyond. I'm planning on playing ~80k hands a month while in school and 120k hands a month once I graduate.
Here's the graph for 2008. GL to everyone in 2009.
