Its that time again

Time to discuss the 2012 goals!!

Firstly to refelct on the 2011 goals, and how they went:

[x] online Final Tables x 15
[x] online MTT wins x 3
[ ] satty into at least 1x UKIPT
[ ] satty into at least 1x CBMPT
[ ] $15k winnings on Stars
[ ] €2k winnings on Boss
[x] Hendon Mob Entry

As you can see was pretty poor, mainly due to volume.

Deffo happy that i managed t get some Hendon Mob entries on the board, and was close to 3 entries in a week when i cashed the GUKPT Goliath and DTD Grand Prix in a week, sadly the 3rd entry was supposed to be in teh APAT Main Event at the WCOAP, but with 5 mins left in day 1b my AKss couldnt beat KJo aipf, or on a Ts 3s 5h flop, to get me into day 2 9 from the money and top 5 in chips :(

Also added a late entry with a team win of the APAT Team Championships, for team GNF, so all was good....

Achieving the Final Tables and wins were ok, when i finally moved over to the IPN Network.

So 2012...what do i want??

I have managed to lock up 43% rb on an IPN skin, so most action will be on there...and after Poker Heaven gave me a free €55 that i have ran up to €450 (and a €200 withdrawal) i will be moving that over to the new skin, for maximum value, and i will have a moneybookers acc open, so if i need to whip the roll out and move it somewhere for deposit bonus' whoring, then i certainly will be!!

Goals are slighlty diff layout but here we go:

1) Earn Rakeback minimum 10/12 months in 2012:

To achieve this, i need to rake 100e and for every 100€ raked i get €43 back, so this is needed!! Average night of MTTs for me earns around €5-€10 rake, and as long as i keep hammering the sats for the Sunday Major on IPN (85€ HH) that equates to 10 nights of MTTs plus the 4x HHs....easy eh....also micro cash can be used to earn the rake!

2) Freeroll to €10k

I started with €55 Tourny Creds and now have circa €400 which will be moved over to the new skin, and aim to have a €10k year....alot to ask, especially as the top prize on IPN is ~ €7k + bounies in the €85 HH, but looking to take advantage of the soft small fields, and hopefully the little and often approach will lend me to this. Wont be too dissappointed if i dont get to the magical €10k mark, but its a good benchmark.

In regards to withdrawals, i will not withdraw until roll is at €2k, and then at the end of each month i will withdraw all € above the €2k mark. If i end a month under €2k, no withdrawl will be made.

3)Top 20 MTT winners on IPN

This will be a dream acheivement ;)

Will also set up a sharkscope setup so i can view all my IPN accs and see how much the software has faired me (some of the skins have losses against them)

4) 3 x Hendon Mob Entries:

After having 3 entries in 2011, i am deffo looking to replicate that achievement in 2012.  With the introduction of the Gentings Poker Tour, an affordable £400+30 Main Event, plus £150 and £100 side events, i will be looking to sat into a few of these if possible, as well as at least 1 x UKIPT, 1 x DTD Deepstack and a return to the Vienna Deluxe Challenge.

5) Live

Carried over from above to play

[ ] 1 x UKIPT

[ ] 1 x Gentings Main Event

[ ] 1 x DTD Deepstack

6) Get ITM Poker Podcast recognised

Pretty self explanitory, if u dont know myself and Tom Piccirilli have embarked on a side project of the ITM Poker Podcast, which is on iTunes. It would be a dream to get this off the ground, as a known UK Based Poker Podcast.

Let me know what your goals are this year coming guys, and run well
