hey guys,

i havent been around TPE much lately. i have always still been a member, but there were some issues that for some reason meant i couldnt post properly, and i have also been pretty slack with watching the videos lately. and it is probably no coincidence, that whilst still profitable, 2013 was my worst year since 2009.

so i am going to make a concerted effort to re-invigorate my study habit, watch more videos, post more in the forums, and try to track my progress more closely with monthly updates etc.

so here are my goals for 2013. they will be loxxii-like, but much less dedicated

1. post a progress report at the end of every month
2. watch at least 1 video a week, but i will endeavour to watch them all
3. comment on at least 5 strategy posts a week.
4. post a hand of my own per week.
5. win a series of the TPE home game i currently compete in, which will allow me to play a $1k live tournament.

for a bit of background, for those that dont know me, i am a part time grinder that currently plays once or twice a week, at the low to mid stakes. i usually play 2r, 3r, and $10-$55, with the occasional $8 and $15 180 thrown in. average buyin ranges from $15 to $25 depending on what i play, and i am up about 20k lifetime online and 27k live.

my goal is to keep grinding these stakes, and by the end of the year have the roll to add in the $75 and $109 tournaments in australian night times on pokerstars (there isnt much for choice).

i will be posting here and also on my blog, …..ymacca.com, so hopefully i can keep myself accountable to you guys and that will mean i have a sucessful year
