Now i'm ready

Ok, so back at the parents house and first thing i did was download pokerstars...well, maybe not first, but it was downloaded within a few hours. Didn't even play lastnight, but i'm just finishing up a short hour and a half session, and i'm up about 280...1st in a $30 sng and 2nd in a $20...and i've won about $100 playing some omaha8...so i'm back on track baby!

Ok, so here is what i'm looking for in 2008. First and foremost, i just want to improve my game...all aspects of it. From sng's to cash games to multi tables...i just want to get better, and i feel like by getting better, winning will come. So instead of just saying i'd like to get better, i'm actually going to read some strategy forums and 2+2 as oppossed to just reading the gossip and news junk (although i do love reading that stuff too). As for number goals, i hesitate to actually make concrete predictions, becuz i don't want to set myself up for disaster but i think i will anyway. It may sound absurd, but i want to make $10,000 in 2008! I really feel like this is VERY possible seeing as i won about 7k in 2007 and for probably the first 5 months, i was playing in much smaller games then i am now. Also, i really plan on playing about 90% of my poker on pokerstars, so having a deep bankroll allows me to play biiger games, which means bigger wins(and bigger loses too). I think i'm goiong to be playing a LOT more sng's too...from what i here, stars will be running a tournament leader board for sng's, so i plan on participating in this every week, which means when i log on each afternoon, i'm probably going to firing up 3 or 4 sng's right off the bat, and maybe throw in a cash game on the side. From what i hear, it seems like i shold have a shot at some free money from this, but we'll see once it starts.

I'm promising to be less of a bankroll nit too...i easily have the bankroll to take some shots at bigger games and bigger multi tables, and i never could pull the trigger...this is going to change this year i promise. It won't change a ton, becuz deep down, i still am a bankroll nit, but playing in some bigger multi tables once in a while i feel has a +ev. I think a lot of my yearly total will depend on my multi table game....1 big score or 2 could do wonders for my 10k goal.

Lastly, all this being said, i plan on moving back in with g/f around may or so, so that means a MASSIVE decline in the amount of poker i'll be playing, which once again, will hurt the 10k goal.

Ok, thats it for now...went to the casino lastnight...no poker though...getting ready to eat now
out
