I think, if you are putting this mouch thought into a "plan" you should also add a component geared toward # hands as well. If you reach the +$200 goal and move up after a great run in only 2000 hands, you will have very little useful information to know if you were playing well, getting lucky, etc. Also, you would have very little information as to what leaks are developing/exist in your game that you might be able to fix as you move up in limits (if not before).

I think it is reasonable to assume that as you move up each limit the likelyhood that there are players who will be able to see your flaws and exploit them goes up. Where you might be able to get away with the flaw in 5c/10c, by the time you get to 25c/50c it is going to be killing you for 4x the cost/ mistake.

Set up PokerTracker (and learn how to use it), set up PAHUD (and learn how to use it - table selection and during a hand), and datamine every night/day while you are away from your computer so that when you sit down you have as much info on as many players as possible.

Set a # hands goal for each level IN ADDITION to the monetary goal to move up. If you are not hitting the money goal, keep playing beyond the minimum # hands until you do.

5c/10c ($10 buyin) x 20 buyins = $200

Why start at $1000? I like the idea that you don't want to be right on the edge of the bankroll requiremtns, so here is my suggestion... DO NOT put the whole $1000 online. Take $500 and put it online (that is 50 buyins) and take the other $500 and if you succeed, great, take the $500 and buy something nice for your you or family, if you don't cash out whatever is left and buy something nice for your family with $500 + extra.

Brian I kinda like your plan. Win the 8 buyins then move to the next level
with the profit.The key will be discipline If you lose the profit You need to back down every time NO MATTER WHAT..

If you bust at the next level take a break and rethink where you went wrong
Even if you go bust at the next level due to 2 outers and the like and not from how you played ,You still have to commit to moving back down.
I repeat NO MATTER WHAT

Commit to never redepositing....

that will be how much I will have not what I will be putting on the site.

great idea on min requirement of hans. You think 5k in hands is enough?

i didnt reaad replies but this sounds liek an exceleent idea my man.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

What limits have you played (and how much have you already played them)? More importantly, how much success heve you had at the each level over #xxx hands? BTW, this is only useful if you had PT running for them or have the HHs available.

I think in the first couple of levels you could probably make do with 5000 hands and maybe as you move up you play more at each limit.

5c/10c = 5000
10c/25c = 7500 (or maybe 5000 also if you already have a large sample size to work with)
25c/50c and up = 10,000 each

Something like that.....

I most likley have played every level up to 3/6 NL lol...sad aint it? Seriously though most of the play had been from .10/.25 to 1/2, I have had limited sucess at all the levels, I think mainly though at the higher levels I was just trying to recover funds from a bad beat at a lower level. Horrible Idea I know, dont try it at home kids.

I like your numbers though and I will go with them, I would like to post pokertracker screenshots weekly so you all can see how I'am doing with this. I really want a break though so I wont be doing this till next month sometime.

looking back at some of my past numbers and actully what I will have to start I might start at .10/.25NL. I will be making a $500 deposit so will have 20 buy-ins at that level to start which is plenty. I will still move down to .05/.10 if I lose 8 of them though.

I will post some screen shots when this gets underway.
