Okay, so you want to be like Jaime Gold who wins 12 million in the World Series of Poker?



I don't blame you, but for now stop dreaming.









Winning the WSOP for most of us is a goal that is out of reach.



Setting short term goals is how you succeed doing anything in your life.



Even with a game like Texas Hold'em you MUST set goals.



I teach beginner and professionals in poker everyday who tell me, Sean I just really want to hit it big. I respond by saying, you tell me where you want to be in 5 years and I will devise a plan to get you there.



Texas Hold'em can really teach you a lot about life. Do you want to be chasing flushes your whole life or do you want to be the one holding the aces?



Here is a quick tip I hope all of you will follow in your quest to win a major tournament. It has to do with bankroll management. Never risk more then 1-2% of your total bankroll on any one tournament. I suggest making an excel spreadsheet with your TOTAL MONEY at the TOP and then keeping track of every tournament under it. If your total bankroll is $2000, then you should never be risking more then $40 in one cash game, sit n go tournament, heads up, or multi table tournament.



1-2% is a healthy way to build your bankroll. As you begin to consistently win, then you can up the stakes accordingly and be on the way to your future goals.



Until next time, good luck at the tables!
