Goals for 2009

I decided to start this to keep track of my progress. I have set a few goals for 2009 even though its March. I posted this on March 4th on PXF forum.


1) Place top 10 in SNG weekly leaderboard (currenlty top 10 now)
2) Win a SNG weekly leaderboard
3) Final table the 50k TS for SNG leaderboard

4) Build to $5k roll. - I want to get to 10k but I think right now 5k is good. I will re-evauluate later.

5) Play atleast 5 Majors and obviously place in as many as I can.

6) Win atleast 3 Omaha H/L tournaments

7) Win a NL MTT - havent got a chance to do this yet and really hope I can this year.

8) Win PFX monthly SNG league.



I took 7th in the SNG leaderboard on PokerStars last week and will be entered into the monthly $50k Shootout. I think I'll be out of town that weekend so I probably wont play until April.

I want to add another one to the list. I'm taking this off of Monty on PFX. He's going to be playing SNGs and try to make a $100k in a year. I think its very possible and was pretty pumped to start my own thing like this. I think you need to run extremley well to hit 100k in around 5k games. So I'm going to set my goal at $50k in about 5k SNGs. I'm running dual monitors now and can 8 table for the time being. Hopefully get to 10-12 tables. 5k is a low size if I can 10-12 table so hopefully in a years time I can play more than 5k in year. I'm going to be using his guidelines to begin with and maybe change it as it goes on.

This is based on an average of 15% ROI for "lower" buy ins , 10% ROI at mid stakes, and 5-6% at higher stakes.

$6.50T $200 roll 458 games to move up
$16T $640 roll 183 games to move up
$27T $1080 roll 109 games to move up
$38T $1520 roll 154 games to move up
$60T $2400 roll 493 games to move up
$114 $6840 roll 584 games to move up
$225 $13500 roll 293 games to move up
$335 $20100 roll 1057 games to move up
$555 $55500 roll 1637 games to move up
$1100 $110,000 roll Total: 4968 games

this is pretty much 40 buy ins per level. Like I said I'm going for $50k so if I make it to $100k it will be a bonus. With the ROI it is possible to hit these numbers in 5k games but I still think it will be tough because of the variance in these games. Not sure when I'll move down limits but I'll figure it out. Obviously if I have 40 buys in for $27 level and im at the $38 level I will have to move down to the $27. Lets hope that doesnt happen but we'll see. If you average a buy in for $200 and play 5k games and have an ROI of 10% thats $100k. Sounds easy? right.


Right now I have $360.xx not sure what the change is but it doesnt matter. We'll be playing $6.50 turbos. 9 person and 18 person games. I'll also being trying to qualify to bigger tournaments and playing small buy in tournaments trying to follow correct Bankroll management.


Starting Bankroll: $360
