I have a number of poker goals. They are a little open because I am not sure exactly about what part of poker I want to focus on. I will just throw everything out there and see how it comes out.

I would like to build my fundamental base for the game. This is what I need to focus on currently before I really get into my further goals.

Live goals – Beat live 1/2 cash games – I have next to no live experience. I do not feel I have enough confidence in my game yet to go play live cash yet. The little bit I have played, I thought it was a great time, but they seemed weak and beatable. 

Online goals – Play as a job – I would want nothing more than the ability to play poker as my profession. I enjoy every aspect of the game. From the math, strategy, to the psychological elements of it. I have never really had something like this that seemed to have everything I’ve had interest in, all in one thing.

My poker challenges

– Build a decent bankroll by the end of summer – I am going back to school in September for psychology, but I would like to prove it to myself that I can do something with poker. I guess I partially want a reason to focus on poker over school.

– Go to Vegas for WSOP 2018 – I want to be able to fund it with poker, or ideally make it a trip that is based around making money out there playing poker.

I am pretty excited about this game and find it really motivating thinking about the things that I can possibly make happen with it. I guess dreaming is one thing, and taking steps toward making your dreams come true is another.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to interacting with the forum. Meeting people, learning and enjoying this great game.
