Realistically, in the shortterm, I want to clear $1800 profit for the year (I'm on course), and play in a $250+ live tournament. By the end of 2007 (or maybe 2008), I want to play in a $1000+ WSOP or WPT Circuit event. In five years time, I want to play a WSOP event (non-circuit). <br/><br/>But on a daily basis I don't know where to go. I'd like to get my bankroll over 10k eventually, but I'm not at 2k yet (I don't think), because of withdrawals.<br/><br/>Oh, and thanks for the comment, Ebs. You always offer great insight.

But on a daily basis I don’t know where to go. I’d like to get my bankroll over 10k eventually, but I’m not at 2k yet (I don’t think), because of withdrawals.

That might give you a bit more direction.<br/><br/>I've said it plenty of times, but my goal is to get a 'roll for 2/4. The only problem is I'm feeling a bit locked into limit hold'em at the moment. It's the only +EV game for me at the moment, and I don't feel inclined to spend either money or time learning another game.

They are the type of hands that traditionaly quarter the competition and while O/8 is a scooping game, consistently taking 3/4 and often 2/3 of a pot is incredible. People are easily locked in with the nut low and will call any bets without a high hand and with a straight in their low can not get away at all consistently quartering your opponents not only gets you their money but also reassures them because they are getting money from the pot.
