Just want to start by saying I was on vacation for the first half of March. Went to an all inclusive with some of my buddies where a ton of american spring break students were and it was a really good time. I've got lots of good stories but I don't think I should be sharing them here lol. But now I need to get grinding because I've put forth a pretty pathetic volume and it's pissing me off. I'll be putting in a minimum of 50,000 hands in April, hopefully somewhere closer to 100,000. I need to have a winning sample at nl10z (50,000-100,000 hands) to get to nl25z asap.

I would suggest putting more volume into studying/online while you build a bankroll and jump into live 2-5+ if that's where you see yourself in the long term. Anyways hope you are still at it and good luck on the grind!
Hey man yeah my volume is terrible to be honest I need to step it up. I'd say the 9-5 idea is a good choice for now, what are your future plans are you going to be studying/playing a lot when you're not working? And the thing that makes my situation unique is all I'm trying to do currently is get better since I don't need to technically build a bankroll. I'm fully rolled for 2/5 due to the fact that I work full-time and still make some money on the side as well by playing live about 4-6 times a month which I've been doing (haven't posted live results though ITT for a while). What I've realized though is that I like online a lot more than live. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's almost like an expensive education since at nl10z I'm making lets say $2.50-$5/hr depending on the amount of tables I'm playing instead of ~$20-$25/hr which I could be making playing live right now.
The thing is my
long-term plan by the end of 2020 is as follows:
Playing online 6max NL & PLO (regular tables not zoom) 200-1knl.
Playing 5/T as my regular live game (deep $2500 buyin would be preferred). Obviously a long way to go but that's where I want to be (I think the time-frame is reasonable though of almost 3 years to get to that point).
