This is my thinking. But I am pretty sick of flips and I am doing them a lot less now. I limited it to one 500 flip at the end of the session and $100 zero EV prop bets every 30 minutes on the bomb pot.

Good luck on your journey OP
This is my thinking. After losing 12k in one day and going on a 25k downswing, it is nice to play a game where a 10 buy in down swing is 1 live buy in or less. Great practice. I hope to continue to improve and not rule out at some point playing more online poker. My goal as far as that goes would be to increase my winrate at 200 blitz, show a positive win rate over a much larger hand sample, hire a poker coach at least to do a database review of my hands and a few sessions, and one day be able to play at higher stakes. But that is very much a back burner long-term thing.
More important than anything online poker-related as a goal for me right now is to build my role large enough to be comfortable with playing 25/50, buying in for 5k, and not feeling like I am shot taking. Also, continuing to grind private games and build relationships with players that may be able to open doors in the future.
