- Practice better cash game table selection: This should be a no-brainer but honestly I've been lacking the patience and discipline to do this on a regular basis. Back when I was really augmenting my annual income through poker playing 2/3 NL and 3/6 NL on Bodog I would go on every waiting list and then decline any "bad seats" or tight tables. These days I'm playing some $100 NL and not treating it with respect because I feel like I should crush any table. Maybe I have a stronger skill set but rocks are rocks and you can't squeeze money from one no matter how strong you are.
- Create a defined MTT schedule and stick to it: Another no-brainer but something I'll be sure to do in 2010. I plan on looking over the various tournaments I've played to see which ones I had the most success in as well as the days/times they are run. I need to trim out some of the MTT's that go late into the night because I either get tired or just quit once min-cash to spend time with my girlfriend. Plus it's not fair to her to have no idea when I'll be committed to something for hours so this will be a win-win.
- Learn to play PLO: I might even look into coaching for this one. PLO is definitely the future of poker and I can observe tables and see there is still much value there but I don't have the skill set to plop down in a seat and start pot betting like a motherf'er.
- Grind SnG's: I have to study up on these again but there's definitely good money to be made. Colin Moshman came out with a good book within the past couple years. I'll read that and then troll some forums to see how out of date the information may be. If anyone of you out there are SnG grinders or know one I'd really appreciate chatting about strategy since this might end up being the majority of my table hours given my schedule outside of poker.
That should do it for now. Seacrest OUT.

Sounds like good goals -- good luck with them. You might add another: post more often. It helps you sort through your thoughts.
That's also a promise I made to myself - to stop writing "preachy" posts and offer up some hand histories for discussion. I'll probably lift a few from PocketFives.com too. Some of the high stakes tournament players post a lot of good bluff lines to discuss.
Those are solid goals, for sure.
Do you play on other sites than Bodog? I'd really like to sweat and/or rail you some time.
