For some reason, I thought I got raped at the 6 max games, but it turns out I did okay.  Maybe it's because PTR has me as a loser at 2/4 shorthanded, but in looking over my records, I actually did okay in that too.

I had actually based my 2011 plans on just playing full ring for the first half of the year, but now that I see that I did okay, I think I may add some 6 max tables to the mix a bit earlier.  I also decided to stick with FT for the majority of my play.  Mostly it's because I *LOVE* playing Rush (later post).  However, I do want to at least get to SuperNova on Stars.  There are three major reasons for this: (i) game selection and variety (there are just some days when I want to change things up a bit.  I also think it's also educational to see how good Stars regs like Nanonoko, JustForFunds, FantasticCow, etc. play), (ii) diversification of game and withdrawal options (who knows if FT is going to shut off games to my state or if I'm going to have extended problems cashing out? It's always good to have eggs in more than one basket), and (iii) I think there's a good chance I can qualify for their Team Online for 2012 (and I need to be SN to qualify).

Anyway. monetarily, I'm going to shoot for $300K this year.  Despite my lackluster performance last year, I think I can make it.  Rather than pull numbers out of my ass like I did last year, I'm going to try and play 1.5 million hands x $5 average big blind x (4 big blind / 100 win rate) = $300K.  And that doesn't even include my rakeback and bonuses so even if I took some time off, to say "work out," I should still have some cushion.  Ah... but it's so much easier to plan on paper.  Feel free to laugh at me at the end of the year.

And hopefully, I can get a decent donkament score or two to get me to $400+K, but I won't hold my breath.  I'll just call that gravy.
