So just to let you know, this is a continuation thread from a previous goal I had a little while back. The reason I made a new thread is because I changed the game I play. I took a break from the game as well because I just wasn't in a good state of mind to play even though I was able to do well. Last thread can be found here-

The goal was to make 10k playing sngs which I was able to get up to about $2,500 before I stopped. I decided cash would be a better choice for me now since in general it has less variance unlike tournament setups. Each decision counts for more and directly impacts your win rate. In sngs it felt like the only decisions that really made a difference were in high blinds in which set play styles limited you in what you could do.
I'll be starting from $10nl as my minimum, working from there upwards through the stakes. Even though I've already played $50nl games, I wanted to start from the bottom working my way to the top (and I don't have the br for it now). My cash BR management may vary, but for now I'm going to be going with around 20BI per level. Potentially I'll take shots earlier based on how I feel and who's playing. Also since I had left, I withdrew all the money I had made.
This post will also act as my first diary journal. Whether someone reads this or not really isn't my concern, mainly I'd like to keep an easily accessible way to record my progress.

So I figured before starting that I'd probably just deposit around $50 and go from there, until I remembered one of the sites I hadn't played on (a trustworthy site) had given me around $5 in free cash to start playing. Initially I just decided to yolo it until I realized I didn't have to redeposit again which felt great. Turning the $5 into $10, $20, then $50 was a big confidence boost especially since I hadn't played in awhile. I can tell my thought process has evolved a lot over the break as well, constantly ranging opponents without much effort. Anyway kind of tired so just wanted to get this post out. I'll periodically update and post my graph.
