Hey guys,
I'm Mid-High Stakes MTT Player, playing around $65 ABI for the past year. I decided to play some cash games, which I haven't done much at all through my poker career. I will be playing Z100 and see what can results I'm able to achieve.

Why I'm doing this?
1) I think exposing myself to different format will be highly benificial for my growth as a poker player.
2) A lot of different tough situations in deep stacks, which I can work on.
3) TBH cash game player routine seems so awesome, having breaks during a day when you are playing seems super good in comparison to MTT Jail [8-16 hours].


These are most important points for me, I want to see how much money can be made on avg playing this limit and If there is potential for myself in this format. Last year in Vegas I played some 2/5 and It went pretty good in short period of time, I'm planning to go this year as well and I would like to prepare myself for 5/10 games, getting this experience deep stacked with tons of hands seems necessary.

My plan for now is : 100,000 Hands.
No EV/100 Goals because I have no idea what to aim for (Suggestions???)
I will be playing 5k Hands/Day prob 4-5 days a week + with quite a bit studying marked hands with solver.

Results so far:


I'll be playing 4 more sessions of cash games before the SCOOP/Powerfest and then continue the challenge before Vegas.


If you have any suggestions for what points I should be looking to improve at these games please let me know (This only for players that are beating this limit or passed this already)


Let's go!

First off, good luck.
The other thing, I suggest you start a bit lower. I don't say go to 5NL or anything but 100NL doesn't seem the starting point for a MTT pro imo.
I watched a lot of high stakes MTT Pros who literally had no idea how to beat 10NLz! Not saying you can't but trust me, MTT players in general are awful post flop and that's what you are going to be focused on in cashgames.
You will make a lot of mistakes (as we all do) due to lack of post flop experience, so it is better to make them in a cheaper limit..
