Poker Wish List

Just for fun, I decided to jot down a wish list of things I wanted to do in the poker scene during the next few years or at least during my lifetime.

1. Play with a famous pro online/live.

The online part shouldn't be so hard. Full Tilt pros can be found playing in the site every once in a while. So all I need to do is to increase my bankroll enough such that I can afford a one time buy-in at their stakes. I enter, sit down, play one hand and cash out. mweheheh Bonus is to win a hand and call the pro player a donk.

2. Play in the WSOP.

This one's admittedly harder. Besides the visa hassles of going to the US, there is the fact that I can't really afford the buy-ins plus the additional expenses of Vegas. But I believe this can be achieved as all the major sites offer WSOP qualifiers every year. So one of my objectives going forward is to try and qualify for the succeeding versions of this crazy event. Now I just need to be really lucky or discover a missing uncle who just died and left me an inheritance.

I'm not delusional enough to wish for a bracelet. All I really want is to play in one event in the WSOP for the experience and if I get seated on a table with Ivey or Hellmuth, then I kill two birds with one stone. (see wish 1). Although Shannon Elizabeth would be much much better. =) woof woof

By the way, in case you didn't know, Hellmuth just won his 11th bracelet a couple of days ago (most by any player) and also has the most cashes in WSOP history. Say what you want about the poker brat, but he certainly has game.

3. Win a big online tournament.

When I say big, I mean one of the Sunday Guaranteed ones. And when I say win, I mean 1st place. heheh .... sobra bang kapal ....

I've won a couple of small buy-in tourneys and placed deep in one or two big ones, so I think I can eventually do this. But again I would need a pretty good bankroll to afford the $100++ average buy-in per tourney on a consistent basis. So maybe within 1 to 2 years from now would be a good timeline for this one. Again, being lucky is the key word here.

4. Make 1 million pesos profit playing online poker

Note that its pesos and not dollars. Actually 3 and 4 are interconnected as winning one big sunday tourney will surely make you achieve this goal. But even without the big win, I firmly believe that with patience, continuous learning, good bankroll management and a lot of luck, this can be achieved. As to when, heheh, now that is the question.

I know some of the above may be far fetched. But its always productive to have some kind of goal in mind. Besides, it's way too fun to write about stuff that you only dream about . =)
