2010 poker goals

Well its about time to think about my poker goals for 2010.

I did ok on my 2009 goals. It was a good poker year. I made my debut at $1/$2 NL at the local casino with modest success. I was up a little bit over a few visits there. I should try to get more live play in for 2010. The goal is to continue to chip up at $1/$2 live at the 2009 hourly winrate or better.

I'd like to try some live tournaments too in 2010. There's a $55 early bird tournament. That would be worth a shot. I may also try to satellite into some of the $200 or $500 monthly buyin tournaments at the casino.


Online 2009 was a pretty good year. I took a shot at $25 NL and have done OK over a small sample size so far. Online goals are to stick at $25 NL and be a winner there. Like live I'd like to get in more play; but that seems to be a goal every year.

I'd like to take a shot at pot limit hold'em. That's available at the $25 level on Stars. I haven't tried a new game in some time so that might be fun.

I have it in my mind I'd like to try out heads up no limit hold'em; like at the $2 NL level. But I'm not sure if I'd be able to go back to full ring after all of the action in HU. So might have to think about that one.

For online tournaments I'm not much of a tournament regular. They take more time than I usually have to play. Still tournaments are fun. I would like to play in the big Stars Sunday $11 1/4 million tourney. By the 2% guideline I can take a shot. It's just about finding some time for it, Sundays are usually pretty packed. Also for MTT is to cash in a $5 MTT for the first time.
