I'm planning 20~25k hands each month.

From 2 to 4 sessions, 6 tabling regular.
Been doing about 350 hands an hour.
Finishing each session in 1 hour of grind.

I'm deciding to put more quality in my grinding, reviewing more, and studying more, making more notes.

What do you guys think?
Should I try to open more tables?
Do you think 25k hands in a month is good?
Should I try to play for longer sessions? I tend to lose focus after 1 hour...

I play plo10 now, been trying to build a decent bankroll to play plo25.
I used to play plo25 in 2014 and was a winner back then.
My goal is to have about $700 and take shots in PLO25, if I drop to $500, I go back to plo10.

.

That's what is most important when trying to improve, not trying to get insane volume and rakeback at micros.

Keep doing what you're doing imo

6 tables may be a lot. I think you have to play some to see if you are able to focus enough on playing your best game to see if that is too many. If you are timing out a bunch or misclicking a lot, then go to fewer. Personally, I have bad eyesight and have a problem when the tables get too small!

Don't play more tables until you're playing a solid winning strategy on 1 table.

The only problem I see with this advice is that playing 1 table can get super boring and trick you into playing looser.

Hard to give advice when you dont state what your short and long term goal(s) in poker are.

You are not improving your game when you play 6 tables. You can do that if you already have a good strategy going and know what you need to do in every spot. Focus on 1-2 Tables and think about the spots.

1-2 reg tables? zzzzzzzzzzzz
I feel like people recommend this but nobody actually has done it (because it's stupid)

My response to that is part of learning to play a winning strategy is discipline.

Discipline to sit at mid high stakes live games while drugged up on coke and weed

I would like to be a winning reg in plo50~plo100 at least.
I honestly think I have an overall winning strategy in plo10/plo25, even though my sample size is not gigantic, but my hands/month is quite low as you can see (25k hands). So I guess it is probably gonna take some months.

Time is money. Seeing as you're beating 25, you should just deposit to have enough to play 50 immediately.

There is quite a difference between PLO50 and PLO25 though. I wouldnt be so quick to jump around stakes. I know its quite a stretch coming from me who regulary hops in the PLO500 Pool but hey, you dont have to take the crazy path
