For instance, one of my resolutions for 2010 (http://www.thinkingpoker.net/2010/01/my-2010-poker-resolutions/) is to reach Supernova on Poker Stars. I know how many VPPs I need to accumulate each month, and if I am on track to come up short in a given month, then I've pledged to put in extra hours playing a bunch of smaller stakes games in order to make up the difference. <br /><br />I like your resolutions a lot, and I'd encourage you to think a bit more about how you will track and implement them. Maybe use Hold 'Em Manager at the end of every month to examine all the big calls you made and think critically about whether each was a good one.<br /><br />Just a thought. The process of self-evaluation is an intrinsically valuable one, but in my experience, if you want to stick with a particular goal, you need some kind of specific plan for how you will change your behavior and what the consequences will be if you start falling short of your goal.<br /><br />Best of luck!<br />AndrewFoucaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808928815912491635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18806762.post-26179915133801225872010-01-02T15:18:43.185-05:002010-01-02T15:18:43.185-05:00Good goals.
