I finally decided I needed to make a few goals for myself in the new year.
1. Make $1000 every month.
2. Win at least 5 tournaments.
3. Build a 2k live bankroll.
4. Build a 10k online bankroll.
5. Make the switch from 6 max cash to full ring games.
6. Win a seat into a major event.
7. Improve my skill in PLO/PLO8.
8. Practice better bankroll management.
Seems simple enough, but nothing ever is when it comes to poker. I think all of these goals are obtainable, but certainly no cake walk. I also don't think I will start on PLO for about six months or so, I've got a lot of bankroll building to do still. Anyhow, I just wanted to give an update and let any readers know where I was at.
About Me
- Tyler DeClerck
- Moline, IL, United States
- I used to make fun of my friends for playing poker when ESPN started showing episodes from the 2003 WSOP. Then after one night of drinking and my first game of Texas Hold'em, I was hooked. I started reading books and shortly after I was beating my weekly home game on a regular basis. Within two months I was the best player in the game. Wanting to play a lot more I started playing online. I deposited $50 four or five times without much luck. Finally on my sixth deposit I won a $3 tournament for $900, and I've never looked back. I've been constantly working on my game on almost a daily basis and have turned into a good winning player. I consider poker my second job and I actually make more money playing than I do at my normal job. Someday I hope to play professionally, but I still have a lot to accomplish before I take on that challenge.
