THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
So I have been playing teh pokerz online for recreation for about four years now. I have been getting more serious about poker for about the past year. I haven't been playing much lately, and have not had a roll on any site. Yesterday I deposited $200 on full tilt poker, and my goal is to grind it up to $9500 and start playing 100NL. I will be playing primarily 6-max rush with maybe a few standard ring games thrown in.
Goals
-Grind $200 to $9500 without going busto (no deadline)
-Average 800 hands/day or more
-Stop playing IMMEDIATELY when tilting
-Stop playing for at least 10 min. after making a bad mistake
-Study for at least 30 min daily
-Update this thread daily
BRM Guidelines
-Starting point will be 10nl with 20 buy ins.
-Shot taking will be done with 20 buy ins for the next level.
-When taking shots I will incorporate a 3 buy in stop-loss and move down.
-If I miss my first shot at a level, I will not take another until I have 25 BI.
-I will not take a shot at 100nl until I have 50 BI.
-I will play 6-max NLHE ONLY
-I will play mtt's that I qualify for through Ironman or by buying tickets, etc.
If I lose my roll at any point during this challenge, I will not be depositing again. This is it.
I started this challenge yesterday and played about 1k hands, so the next post will be my first update (from yesterday). Each update will contain current Bankroll, hands played, winnings, and favorite hand. The format of updates will probably change if anyone suggests other information to include

I read somewhere that If your acct ever reaches 10k or more you have to fill out paperwork with the IRS for having an offshore account, so that's why haha.
Clutch I totally deserve that. Hopefully I can win 100bb with 72o soon so I can post that.
