Dream Deferred 2010

A year has gone by since my last posting. Okay, not really; but my last last blog was in 2009: 12/31/2009. I am making 2010 all about me or should I say "more about me". I ended my last blog with Langston Hughes "A Dream Deferred". My dream/goal for awhile has been to do well on the poker circuit scene. Now that is every poker player's dream. I'm not looking for my 15 minutes of fame but instead looking for ever-lasting success. In order to walk, you have to learn to crawl. I set a few goals for 2010 (realistic ones)

-To final table a major tournament (WPT, WSOP, HPT, etc)
-Finish in the black on cash/ring game play
-Bring my poker project(s) to fruition
-Make a particular goal happen by June- I've had this time-sensitive goal since Age 16 & will reveal soon. (It's not what you think it is)

How am I doing thus far in 2010? Slowly building the foundation for the rest of 2010 is my answer. I've also added a new goal: Finish in the top 20 % in as many tournaments as possible. What are your goals? Notice that I didn't say to win any tournaments; I think that my game has much room to improve & time, practice & effort will take care of the wins in the long run.

Thus far in January, my live play is positive & I'm playing in a few of the WSOP Circuit Events in Tunica, MS. To follow my live results, you can follow me on Twitter: (http://twitter.com/cheweyLam). In my next blog, I'll also post how I fared in my first action of 2010.
Here's the events that I'm looking to play in Tunica,

Event 2a 1/21/10 Omaha Hi/Lo $200+30
Event 8a 1/27/10 H.O.R.S.E. $200+30
Event 9 1/28/10 No Limit Hold'em $300+40
Event 15 2/3/10 No-Limit Hold'em $300+40
Event 16 2/4/10 No-Limit Hold'em $400+40 (depending on Event 15)
Event 17 2/5/10 No-Limit Hold'em $500+50
Event 18 2/6/10 No-Limit Hold'em $1,000+80 (depending on Event 17)
Event 19 2/8/10 NLH Championship $5,000+150 (depending on how I do in other events)

Building the foundation before the dream erupts! I'll try not to distract myself by hitting some big non-poker jackpot such as slots, haha!

See you on the felt!
