Summer Comes to an End

Another summer is coming to a close.  While the temperature here in Las Vegas will stay in the upper 90's and even 100's for several more weeks, the kids are back in school and the Poker season is coming to a close.

As I look back on this summer I must say all in all it was pretty disappointing. 
  • I didn't reach my goal of playing in any WSOP events. 
  • My run at the Grand Poker tournament was ended by two extremely brutal beats that took me from moving on strong to out in mere moments. 
  • I played in 4 daily tournaments at the Golden Nugget and didn't cash in any
The one bright spot was playing at the M daily tournament
  • I played in 12 tournaments cashing in 6.  2 first place, 1 second place, and 3 third place finishes
Now that the "Season" is over, it is time to re-focus for the next year.  To that end I have come up with the following goals:
  1. Transitioning my focus from No Limit Tournaments only to limit cash games to create a positive and consistent cash flow.
  2. Continue to play at least once or twice a month at the M
  3. Will not be playing any of the Golden Nugget Daily tournaments.  We will see about The Grand when it gets closer next year
  4. Play 10 hours online per week
  5. Play 10 hours live per week
I am looking forward to another year of great poker learning and I have set some high expectations to determine success.  Stay tuned.
