Ho Ho Ho! This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Sky Matsuhashi, and he has a fantastic gift for all RecPoker members to enjoy!

If you want to set SMART goals, you have to know where you need the most help, and what areas you can work on to immediately improve your poker skills. To do that, you need to know your own game and its weaknesses.

Sky talks about the importance of setting goals, and why SMART goals give you the best chance at success. The panel shares some of their goals for 2024 and Sky gives some great examples of poker goals that can work for YOU with a new year ahead, as well as helping Jim and the gang refine their own goals for the coming months. They talk about specific stats and frequencies to keep an eye on, what to look at first when you are reviewing your own play, how to break down long-term goals into short-term goals and action steps, and how to get the most out of your study time.
