So, the goal is simple, win money over a 1k game sample size at the $7 9-mans on Stars starting with a 50 buy-in roll.

I was beating a couple other games before Full Tilt decided it was more important to give my roll to the likes of Layne Flack and BarryG than run an honest business. Since then I've hardly played poker. And now, almost a year later, I'm finally ready to give 9-mans another shot.

The last time I played 9-mans, I made it through 200 of them before the running under EV was too much for me. I didn't have any work coming in and needed to be wiser with my bankroll. Now I have a steady job so we're giving it another go.

This weekend, I expect to get only about 20 games in as I dedicate time to studying strategy and single/double tabling. Next weekend, I plan on getting a solid 100 games in as I'm more familiar with the strategy I'm working with. Third week up it to 200. Fourth and fifth weeks I'll split the difference and go for 340. I expect this to take a little over a month.
