2011

I love having a new year, a fresh slate, and I am really excited about this year.  I've never done this before, but this year I've written down a series of goals that I have and things I can do that can get me there.  My road map for 2011!

You don't want to know about my personal and professional goals, but how bout my poker goals?  I have alot of those.

Have a profitable 2011 (obv).  End Goal is to win $2,000 profit by July.  In order to make that kind of profit I have to do the following:

* Commit to tracking all of my poker winnings and losses.  I usually do this for the first couple of weeks in January and then let it slide.  My plan is to track it all; live, online, and league.

* Play more often live in New Hampshire.  That seems to be where I make the most money.  In the 50 peep tournaments.

* Learn to fold more with the 2nd best hand.  Focus on throwing that shit away, particularly in the latter half of an MTT.

* Win online tournament with more than 200 peeps.  (Play more bigger tourneys)

* Play in Atlantic City this year.

*Bank roll management - this is the key to my success so it's time to take it seriously.  I have no problem with bankroll management live, but online - that's a big hole that I will be focused on this year.


End goals:  2K in profit and lose 25lbs.  If I do both by this summer, I'm thinking a weekend in HOT HOT Vegas.  Doesn't that sound good?  All I have to do is some winning ($2,000) and some losing (25lbs).  Incentive does wonders for me.  And Linda Lou says that if you put it in writing you're more likely to achieve your goals.  And......not to brag......but I've lost like 5 lbs since returning from Vegas.  :)  I'm just sayin'.


This was me in the airport on the way to Vegas. 
I weigh 5lbs less than her!

While we are on the subject of me, notice the highlights in my hair above?  They're gone.  My hair is now a very dark brown/blackish.  Can't decide which color is better.....but mebbe I'll post a pick of the uber dark hair and you can lemme know.

I'm playing in a league tournament this afternoon at Lynne's house.  I missed the last game cuz I was in Vegas, so I'm down to 4th place.  Hopefully today I can pick up some point and knock the donkey in third place down a peg.  (Just kidding.  xoxo)

So my fave black man Troy, has been kicked out of the league.  :)  I am so bummed out.  He had a big fight with Lynne, and according to her, he threatened her.  So obv he is not welcome in her house.  He was drinking and he hadn't paid into the league so she was telling him he wouldn't get his points unless he paid.  Bad scene.  Hopefully people at the tourney today will be like Fonzie, and be cool.

So last night was New Years Eve.....I got a little to tipsy a little too early and fell asleep before midnight.  Not only that but I was playing PLO while drinking, and it didn't end well.  I won a couple of $2 games, and moved to a $10 HU game and I lost.  Grrrrrr

Play smart and wishing you all you desire for a happy and prosperous 2011!

Audacious goals Josie. I have done some tracking and it takes some work to keep up on. Don't let it go and get behind. I am working on my list. Will post some soon.

If you can master this, you will probably be shocked at how good you can be. Seriously.

Happy New Year! That's a beautiful picture, five pounds or not . . . but good luck on your goals. If you make your goal, let me know and I might come join you in Vegas for kicks!

These sound like great goals - you made them specific enough that they are definitely do-able. Good luck achieving each one! :o)

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not as well as someone on the outside l
