2019 poker goals recalibration

Thinking some more about my goals for the coming poker year, I realized I had my priorities all wrong. I somehow got seduced by the notion that wagering more play money was the path to increased profits, but that's just not true. The true path to increased profits is through playing smarter, not harder. You don't need to play as many tournaments if any or all of the following is true:

1. you fire less bullets per tournament
2. you have a higher itm (in the money) percentage
3. you finish higher up the money ladder when you make the money

Here are my revised 2019 poker goals:

1. fire no more than 3 bullets per tournament
2. keep my itm percentage north of 30
3. keep my min cash percentage south of 45
