I know this is wrong, no matter how good you think you are, because the swings and short term variance is a killer.
DONE, I have experimented with some 1 table £25NL and $50NL with almost $900 on friday and saturday late night and I'm up £25 and $35 respectively.

>Get my bankroll up to $500 to play $25NL properly rolled.
This may take a while, but in order to feel that I'm actually winning this will be my first magic number.
DONE, I'm actually at $895 as of Nov. 17th/06

>>Play 20+ hours a week.
This is not a major problem with winter coming and and agreement I have with the wife.
DONE, Killed it!! I may have, since starting this thread, played closer to 35+ hrs a week.
>I won a rookie deal at prima (most hands played in Oct/06 for a new account)
>I was in 4th place on Sun's Ring leader board, I'm in 18th now and haven't played there since the 12th, I cleared the 1500 MPP's needed for the bonuses ( I have 32% of $548 in rake to come from Sun alone)
>I have Only 250 MPP's left for the 1000 needed to earn my $200 monthly bonus and already have 30% of $315 in rake there without finishing yet.

>Start posting some hands and get some input into my play.
instead of having to rely on myself all the time. I also want to start spending more time in the stategy forum than the commune.

DONE, man did you guys come thru. Thanks for the help.

>move the computer desk out of the living room
If I'm going to do this, I'm going to get serious and give myself the right enviroment.
Just DONE. This can only help.

I will add to this post as my goals change or if I come up with anymore.
So time for some new goals.

>Start playing $50NL in the next week or two when I clear this last $100 in bonus at Poker plex and be full time by the new year.

>I still need to try an get $1000 withdrawn before December. This is some pressure. I want to Xmas shop with this money if possible. (It may put me back to $500 but I can get $300 in monthlys in Dec. plus rakeback + other bonuses. I am going to whore Xmas vacation away.

>I may be off thru Xmas, depending on if I get booked for surgery or not, for my arm. If I do, I will be killing the hours online. If this happens before Xmas, I want to play all the casino bonuses I can muster since I will have time.

>Lastly, 40K hands by January 31st and a shot at a $2500 bankroll to move to $100NL. This is not a monetary goal, but a hope, it's doable if I play the amount of hands I'm capable of and play well.
