    Back to my roots

    I've been performing poorly for the last few months and it's past time I got my act together. For this reason, I am issuing a public SNG challenge to myself.

    This challenge will run from August 18th through December 31st. It comprises two separate sets of SNG goals, and three performance levels within each.

    $75 x 45-player SNGs

    My lifetime ROI in these games is 15%, and I believe I am a better player than I was when most of these games were played. So my year end goal for this thread will be 27% ROI (last 500 games), which would be a top 20 ranking on Sharkscope's leaderboard. My stretch goal will be 34% ROI, which would be a top ten ranking. And my "holy shit, I'm at the top of my game" goal will be 38% ROI.

    $52 x 90-player SNGs

    My lifetime ROI in these games is 33%, but I don't have a big enough sample size to make it into Sharkscope's leaderboard. So my year end goal for this thread will be 30% ROI (last 500 games). My stretch goal will be 36% ROI. And my "holy shit, I finally got a diamond star on Sharkscope" goal will be 40% ROI.

    If I can pull off either one of my stretch goals by the end of this year, I'll take Tracy on a cruise of her choice.

    You should probably include a volume goal as well. This will help to keep you focused on the 45's and 90's and prevent you from taking too many shots at MTT's.

    Good point Bruce. I sort of did that in a roundabout way, since all the above goals are tied to performance over my last 500 games. I'm going to have no choice but to increase the volume in order to make the numbers a reality.
