New Year’s Resolutions – Daniel Negreanu
Posted by: Randy Williams - Mon, 2013-01-07 07:45
With the old year behind us, the time is right to look back and evaluate, while making resolutions and plans for the upcoming year. No one is more vocal about his/her resolutions and plans than
PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu, who posts periodic rants in his personal blog about his accomplishments and his future endeavors. This year was no different: in his usual post, Negreanu assessed some of the goals he had set for 2012, among which there was one about cashing in more live events than Jason Mercier – a goal which he had managed to achieve indeed.
Always on the ambitious side, Negreanu’s goals for 2013 are quite lofty too and they exceed the personal realm. Besides looking out for good old Mr. #1, Negreanu also aims to fulfill goals that would benefit the entire poker community one way or the other.
For starters, he intends to fire out at least 12 rants (which would be a one/month goal) and he’s definitely started out on the right foot on that one. He says that while this one isn’t exactly a poker goal, it is one that will help him keep connected with the poker community. Obviously, the
poker community will eat up those rants too.
He also intends to go further on one of his fulfilled 2012 goals: he had set a goal of cashing for at least $1 million in 2012 and he’s taken down $1.7 million in tournament cashes. This year, he moved the bar up to at least $1.5 million and given his past history, that is indeed quite a reasonable goal.
Another goal of Negreanu’s for the New Year is to win a
WSOP bracelet. That too should be well within his grasp, although the variance in this respect has been known to play nasty tricks on high profile players before.
