2014 poker goals

Haven't done a poker resolutions in a few years. Guess I've gotten boring or nothing much new happens.

For 2014 the plan is to basically continue where 2013 left off. Still playing online $10 PLO. Presently just crossed the 10k hands milestone and still numerous buyins in the red. For consistency I'm underwater in all 3 sites Stars, Tilt and Party. Well that makes it a bit easier in a sense as I can tackle them separately while chasing the occasional bonuses or whatnot.

It's disappointing to be a losing player in $10 PLO after these months and thousands of hands but whatever. I've become more used to the variance which I'm pretty sure is greater than that in hold'em. So the plan is to keep trying to game select well and play well and eventually positive results will follow. 10k is a minimum sample size anyway so the plan is to just be optimistic and keep at it. So the goal is to erase the losses and bring it back to even.

While focusing on online I haven't been to the local casino in over 6 months. $1/$2 no limit was fine, I enjoy playing live and nothing terrible happened. Time is just limited so I decided to focus on online PLO. The goal for 2014 is to reappear at the casino and become a weekend reg again. As I've alluded to before there may be a bit more to say about live play in the hopefully nearer future.

For online a goal is to get back into tournaments. I haven't been anything of an online tournament player in several years now. Read a new tournament book, start at the $5 level in PLO and NLHE and across whatever sites. The goal is to get playing tournaments again and at least break even at the $5 level.
