You are playing $1/2nl? How much is your roll? Can you plan $2/5nl or are you too short for that right now? What's you current goal/target to hit?
For future updates, it would be cool if you provided a summary at the bottom of your final win/loss and how many hours of cash games you put in. For the sake of this thread, it would be interesting to see how many road hours you put into the commute as well.
Tournaments are gonna be fewer and farther between for sure but I do plan on taking a shot at a couple. I’ll update in here as to what I wind up playing. I have my roll broken up in to 2 5k parts basically. This first half is more open meaning 1-2 or certain 2-5 games and a couple tournaments. If I bust down to the second half it’s strictly 1-2, pick up a part time job or start on the real estate license. If I can clear $400 a week then I’m where I need to be with my current additional income. I would like to obviously make more than that but that’s baseline right now to keep from having to pick up additional work.
Thank you for the tips on the update posts and I will start doing that for sure. First BR is currently at $4900 after yesterday’s adventure. Had stuff to do today with the wife but tomorrow I plan on logging some solid hours. The 2-5 I keep mentioning is actually a couple of pretty soft games in Laughlin which is a little closer to me than Vegas. The crowd is older and it plays a lot like an active 1-2 game in Vegas so that’s something I might do from time to time.
