well done on that hope it keeps going up .... as for me hadn't made any goals .... but decided a few months ago to start keeping better bankroll ... also got the big bet bankroll and my aim is to complete this ... not putting a time limit on it as i have never completed one before .... but so far going well ... at this moment have gone from $10 to $176 and on the third level .... have to clear 750 points .. just cleared 150 of them ... my goal for next year is to be making some money every week by say June so that i can take money out eg $20 each week and build up to a point where i can take about $500 a week out .... i know to do this i will need good bankroll management plus a strong bankroll maybe around $1000 .... so going to try and build the bigbet up to this and then work on the weekly take money out part ....but it should be doable ... if im taking $50 a week out this time next year and have a $1000 bankroll i will be delighted and consider the year a huge success .... but its good to have a goal and some thing to aim for.

My poker goal was to almost stop playing online poker and only play live with my friends ... i have reached my goal and havent deposited any own money on online sites, only freerolls and free money as it should be

But your still not reading books doomdy. Mine (poker wise) were done early on in the year, didnt play as many tourns as I planned, more thrill at ring games, but did get a few 1sts and a few nice $ prizes. Buggest regret this year was buying a new car insteed oof an old one.

this was also my first year of playing poker, was some good beats and some pretty bad moves from my part, this year I'm down about 1500$ . Better next year
I started playing poker this year when I created my account on BRM, I went up twice pretty fast, 250$ and ~400$ in just a few days/weeks, but I went broke that fast as well...
The real playing for me started in august. I managed to learn a lot by reading many poker articles on the web and I watched like 1000000000 strategy vids, plus following the pros play and going tru their hands history. Its pretty sick how much i learned from that... I also learned a lot about Bankrollmanagement and I stopped fucking tiliting, which was my biigest problem, I would say.
Well, I had no real goals this year, I just wanted to become a stable/winning poker player and I had success with that. The real playing will start next year, when I try to get SNE on pokerstars. I not wanna say how much money I have now, but I cleared like 7 Deposit bonuses since august, I jumped from room to room. And now I cant wait for 2010!! I will move all my money to pokerstars and the real play can start.
I was spending just too much time playing. 
. Better next year
