Default My $100k plan.

I need goals, rules, and guidelines in poker or I just don't stay disciplined, my biggest weakness. Being 19 and having way too much $ will do that to most anyone I think.

Therefore I'm coming up with a plan I'm gonna stick to till I hit $100,000.
Tonight I cashed out all but 3,500.
This is an aggressive plan, but I need a challenge and I think I can do this and think it will make me better. I have been grinding 3/6 for way too long.

I'm starting at 1/2. Once I hit the BR mark I will move to stated level...
4k -> 2/4
6k -> 3/6
10k -> 5/10
25k -> 10/20
60k -> 25/50

If I drop down below the BR mark for that level, I will move back down till I get it back.

I'll play alot of HU cash probably, but also 6max. I'm gonna try to really concentrate when I play, and play no more than 5 tables at a time.

I of course will allow myself to play lower limits than my bankroll suggests if huge fish are there, like playing 3/6 with 20k, but I really don't plan on it. The best players suggest being aggressive with your bankroll, and playing tough opponents and finding ways to beat them is necessary. I am sick of relying on fish at lower levels.

For HU sng's I'm using the 30 buy in rule but I doubt I'll play very many.
If I happen to play tournaments, they won't count towards this, I will probably only play the Sunday's anyway.

I have no clue how long this will take, lately I haven't had that much time for poker. I am going to cash out during this process too, to keep putting $ into stocks, but I will count the $ i cash out towards being part of my bankroll even if it's not online since if I really need to, I can get it there anyway.

I'm either going to update here or in my blog at the end of every day, but I'm leaning towards here because it's so much easier and more convenient.

This sounds familiar. I'll venture a "no you won't".
Good luck.

This sounds like an excellent plan JD. I just hope that you can find the discipline within yourself to stick to it - TO THE LETTER.

I would be very happy to see you prove me wrong in my thinking that this will last (at most) through the next weekend.

Maybe everybody telling you that you can't do it will help you do it.

you know, reverse psychology and all that jazz.
