I recently watched a promotional training video from Nick Wealthall
entitled 'Your Next Big Jump In Poker.' He is a well known
poker writer, commentator and presenter and I have always liked his material and
his comedic approach. Plus any friend of Liv Boeree....... I found the thirty
minute video so engaging and interesting that I watched it twice and am now
blogging about it. Essentially what Nick was saying is that to make the leap
that you want to make in poker or to fulfil your poker ambitions you must
simply make a plan and carry it out. What do you want to achieve and why? What
help and knowledge do you need to make this goal a reality? What is a realistic
time frame to make this happen? In short what do I need to do to reach my
goal? He points out that very few people make such a plan and are worse off
because of it. If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know I am big
on plans so he was very much knocking on an open door with this approach. His
video is linked to a new monthly coaching service he is providing which focuses
on improving certain aspects of a players game and thus removing barriers to
success. For me the video made me really think about what I want from poker and
how I am more successful when following disciplined guidelines and working on my
game. It made me think I need a new plan so that I am much more likely to
achieve it.
In part two of this post I will detail my plan and the thinking behind it.
The goals part is quite easy. I want to win a Sit N Go Jackpot and have
poker winnings of at least $50,000. Why is this my
goal? The reason is mainly that of personal fulfilment, to achieve something I
have worked at over a number of years, to feel my time playing poker has
been fully successful. The money is actually a minor aspect in some ways which
is interesting in itself. I really feel my goal is achievable and agree with
Nick that with a more focused, structured approach it is much more likely to be
attained.
