Well, I'm nearly done with poker for the year.

I'm currently at 1,973 tourneys with a BR of $940.88, and I'm planning to stop when I hit 2,000 total tourneys. I just made GoldStar for January this morning, and there's no way to make PlatinumStar. I can't make any more cash rewards in 2010, either. 2,000 seems like a nice, round number. The only instances in which I would stop sooner:

* I have a massive, acute upswing and get above $1,100 prior to 27 tourneys from now. At that value, I would be positive in online poker for 2010 (with bonuses), no small feat considering I donked off roughly $600-$700 in cash games. It would also make me positive at every SNG limit. It would be a hell of an Xmas present to myself.

* I have a massive, acute downswing and get around $800 prior to 27 tourneys from now. At that value, if I were to continue to play, another loss might threaten my overall positive number. That's something I'm not willing to do before this break.

Neither is all that likely, but anything is possible, I suppose. It's likely that I will just about break even, if the past 1,973 tourneys are any indication of anything...

So, tonight or tomorrow will probably be my last batch of poker in 2010. I do need a break, as it appears as though I have mild tendinitis in my right wrist, and 8 days off will do me some good psychologically (as well as physically).

After I finish the final splash of tourneys in the next 24 hours, I'll post about my revised goals for 2011.
