Title sums it up. I play live NLH and I'm going to learn PLO.
I've done threads in the past;
Live grind: $30,000+ over 1,000 hours, or I quit. LETS DO ITT
Pay for a euro-trip playing poker
live NHL cash pro to crush PLO8 micros
I really enjoy doing these threads, they help with a few things. Mainly, expanding my thoughts, accountability, and motivation.
The last few challenges/threads I've done have been successful, however, I've rarely felt like I pushed my limits. This time I hope to really have a good sweat beating the micros. Online poker has always been much more challenging for me so this will be a difficult task. Lifetime I've got ~$4-5k total profit online over hundreds of hours.
My ultimate goal is to become a great PLO player. I want to have a roll for PLO200 by May 1st 2013. I plan on depositing <$1000 and working it up to $10,000.
I've played about 28k hands of PLO, 90% PLO5 and 10% PLO10. Basically messing around and getting a feel for the game. Graph so far;

I have been tuning my vpip/PFR/3b ranges. Started around 42/20/4, now I'm playing around 28/18/4.5. I feel comfortable at 28/18 but will probably make adjustments as needed.
Bankroll management will follow Bugs guidelines;
$5PLO to $10PLO:Grind in 20 BI ($100) at $5PLO and build the roll to 50+10 BI ($350) for a shot at $10PLO.

$200PLO: Grind in 15 BI ($3000) to make $10,000 profit.
Will be paying for living expenses with live NLH (40hrs/mo) and rakeback(50-60% @ ipoker/ongame).
I have a skype study group, plenty of vids, and a couple books for help studying. I plan on studying an hour for every 3 hours I play. I will be using the thread for motivation and to hold myself accountable for spewing.
