Starting this past Sunday I put a scoreboard up in my war room and am setting a goal of making $100,000 through poker related activities between April 25th and when I leave for the WSOP at the end of May. My goal is to grind and grind and grind hands on Poker Stars. I am going to play a ton from now until then and take whatever money I make to the WSOP and see if I can turn it into millions. That is the plan anyway, however difficult it may sound.

Right now the scoreboard in my office reads that I am up $8,200. The goal is $100,000 and I don’t care how I make it. If I make it because I had half of a friend who wins a SCOOP event or the Sunday Million, I don’t care. Every form of poker income counts. FPP bonuses for cash, swapping action with people in the SCOOP, whatever. I just want to make at least $100,000 in that time.

I am really excited to play the SCOOP (Spring Championship of Online Poker) at Poker Stars. This is perfect preparation for the WSOP. I am going to play every NL holdem event and possibly a PLO event or two as well. I keep waiting for a big tournament score, but I have never had one in my career. For whatever reason I have just never run well in any of the bigger prize pool events. In fairness, I don’t focus on tournaments, being a cash game player. But every time I run like God in a tournament and win or come in 2nd, it is a $55 tourney with $10,000 going to first. I would love to get deep in a tourney with $100,000 for first and get a chance at some big time money. Maybe the SCOOP will be where I get my first big score, who knows.

Well, I’m off to the office to go grind some hands. Hopefully I can add some profit to the scoreboard by day end. I will post updates on my progress towards the $100,000 in my blog and more frequent short updates on my facebook page.
