This is a hopefully anonymous (please respect if you recognize me) journal for me for personal accountability. I'm playing on Bovada currently and may expand to ACR and Seals with Clubs. Will be playing PLO, primarily HU with some 6m on acr or seals if action is slow.
I'll be doing live 1/2 & 2/5 nlhe sessions periodically at a local room.
I don't have any volume goals. My goals are all about mental game:
1. Don't play even subtly tilted, immediately sit out.
2. Don't spew at higher stakes/blackjack
For a progress goal, like my thread title says, I want to break even and everything else is gravy. I'm very patient and have a lot of time to make this work.
Current roll is roughly 3.9k.
Some benchmarks i'll be following are:
At 2.5k I'll do a state of the union and review my plans. I don't expect to lose 25+ buyins playing at 25&50pl.
At 5k I'll add 100pl HU.
Between 8-12k I'll add 200pl HU.
Between 18-20k I'll 400pl HU.
Each time I add in higher tables, I'll move back down after losing 5 buyins.
Since most of my play is on Bovada, i'll play regs indefinitely as the 50-200pl regs are not very good relative to the stakes. On ACR i'll play any American but sit out vs eastern european regs.
I use table tamer, omaha indicator, hm2, and some alternative cards/chips from mod maniac (shoutout) to make multisiting and mass tabling comfortable. Going forward I'll start off playing max 2 at a time good value $11 mtts, 2 tables 25 hupl, 2 tables 50hupl with eventually a goal of adding back in sitting 2-4 more hu tables on acr and 6m tables on acr/swc when action is dead.
I'll be playing off and on for the next two years.
Here is a graph of my ACR plo results this fall; 98% 25&50pl with some 100/200pl vs bad regs that asked to play higher:
HU plo only:
12 evbb/100 over all hands so far while playing ~80% A+ game but I still love ACR's 27% rakeback. It's mentally soothing to get a guaranteed hourly.

Here's a photo my father took. I'll consider uploading them as conclusions to my longer posts:
