What's your aim with poker?

[kanrich_]

As the title says, my question would be: What is your goal with poker?

My own ones:

Short-term:

* to generate at least 20,000 VIP Points at the site I play at (my main goal is 30,000 VIPs, but I wouldn't let it go under 20K)
* to minimize my mistakes at NL100


Mid-term:

* to do my best in cash games (I try to focus on one game type to be the best in that given one)
* to go to Vegas at the time of the next WSOP, and play cash games
* to reach NL400 in 4-6 months


Long-term:

* to reach NL1000 or even NL2000 and become a regular at these levels
* to become a highly profitable MTT player, and take part in the bigger tournaments (EPT or even WSOP)


I really think it can do you good to set up goals like these for yourself, because this is the only way to drive yourself towards your aims!

[iceTray]

Hey,
good topic, i'm afraid of i have easier aims with poker than you :)

In short term i wanna leave NL10 and move up to NL20 within a month. My mid-term goal is ongame NL30 by summer and by the end of the year i want to play at NL50. And IMHO this is enough for me :) i don't wanna reach higher level than NL50, maybe NL100 but there aren't any high stakes levels and vsop bracelets in my dreams. so i think poker will always be a hobby for me.
