Sit & Go's & MTT's - The Micros #1 [USA]

Hello all!
About Me
I graduated from college about a year and a half ago. I tried my hand at playing MTT's full-time but I live in a very expensive city and I wasn't making ends meet. I was doing well if my rent wasn't $1,200 monthly. I quit playing MTT's for a few months and wanted to focus on my career.. so I got a job with the State and have been working this boring job daily since. I don't mind the job because I know I work exactly 8 hours, and I know when I'll be home. I also am given an ORCA card (free bus transit 24/7) so that takes a decent amount of my costs ($100+ monthly). I live with my girlfriend and shes 22, she has an amazing job making $80,000+ with a corporation but we both want to relocate to China (or elsewhere) to teach English and we plan to in 9 months once our lease is up! (THANK GOD).
About my Poker Career
I started playing poker about a year ago seriously. I focused on WPN and Bovada and had about $22,000 in profits. My ABI was around $20 and my ROI was decent. After I quit, I decided I wanted to return but only once I was willing to put in the work. I've decided to completely reconstruct my game. I firmly believe that to be a successful MTT player, you have to study and play all different formats including SnG's, Hypers, Cash, CAP games.. this is because MTT's are essentially the ultimate test to how you react to all different formats.. you must know how to navigate. This being said, I've decided to make a small deposit on BetOnline and climb the ranks. They have a decent selection of under $1 MTT's where I can hone my skills (which includes a leader board which is a GREAT bankroll boost). They also have the same thing for SnG's.. $250 weekly to the best low stakes (under $2) SnG crusher.. and it's not that difficult to get first.
My Plan
- Reinvest my first $2,500 of profits into coaching/improving.
- Minimum 100 buy-in's to move up ($220 to play $2 MTT's).
- Study, Study, Study, Study.
- Break bad habits (smoking copious amounts of weed).
- Comfortable beating $3r on Stars before relocating
Essentially I am playing poker to further invest in myself. I have the privilege of getting some "free" or "pay once it pays off" coaching from, who I believe, to be the best micro/low SnG crusher in the world. My goal is to continue to work with him and crush the 180's on Stars once I relocate!

Y0.
Update 1)
Welp. We've ran like absolute garbage. I mean, a little sickening. I don't even want to know how under EV I'm running in single table SnG's. All the players are running 12/3/3 and I'm playing so well against them.. but I get down to 3 handed and lose every 70/30+. It's unfortunate because I feel like I'm playing well.
Graph is below, I had to "reset" it on Saturday because of left over balances, but whatever. I got 8th in a $2.20 1k (shot take) so I played another one.. and got 3rd. Pretty brutal got it in A8ss 3 handed vs shorty vs his K8 and KK2 on the flop
Ripperoni. It was $300+ to win. Either way, the bankroll got a good boost even with the run bad.
I'll be focusing on some MTT's this week as well as SnG's. Once I get past $500, I'll be dabbling in HUNL $5NL. I really want to improve my HU game because I'm struggling when I get to this spot in SnG's and tournaments. I feel as though I'm waiting to get a good hand and shove over his stack and hold.. I want some direction in my game. Any advice on modern HU theory or strategy that would be sufficient at micros? Obviously I want to improve past standard strategy, but I need something to build on.
Health wise:
Welp.. pre-workout came in the mail.. as well as creatine. Time to get stacked again. I was the biggest I was ever at in my life (175 LB with 275 Bench, 475 Squat) and now I'm the worst I've ever been in my life.. I guess that is what college + real life job do to you. No more 2 hours of class a day, gym, basketball, poker, repeat.
I bought a banned pre-workout that contains DMAA. Basically a stimulant. I'd always wanted to try it because of the insane pump it gives you, but I've always stuck with C4 from Costco.. but got so sick of that in my prime. This first week I'll be "free" working out which will contain a lot of cardio and standard lifts to basically allow my body to catch up, then I'll start an immense 4 week plan. If anyone wants before + after pictures, let me know. I'll show you how dedicated I am through those.
I'll be updating more often, but my volume is minimal right now.. hopefully that'll pick up this week because of Holidays!
Bankroll start: $7
Bankroll week 1: $132.44
