Hi guys,

Background - I’ve been playing poker part-time (I have my own small business) for the last 7 years & have had reasonable success in both live cash games across Asia (as big as $10-$20) & online mostly - MTT/SNG’s (1 TCOOP title). However I've never really had any targets as such & hence never built up a separate bankroll but blew most of my winnings in other endeavours!
Current reality - Due to various circumstances - I’m at a stage of life now where I want to finally get “serious” about poker & adopt some goal-setting strategies.
My goal for the next 1 year - to put it simply is - to win on an average $1000 per day/$5000 per week/$20,000 per month playing hold-em mid-high stakes cash games online (PLO is just too swingy).
I plan to 2 table at the start & can put in 4 hours per day - so 20-25 hours per week.
My questions are -
1. Assuming I am able to raise the money - whats the ideal bank-roll to go after such a monthly target?
2. What stakes should I be playing to feasibly go after these targets?
3. What win-rate should I expect?

Any advice/suggestions no matter how honest will be highly appreciated.

These questions indicate that you're nowhere near accomplishing that goal.
You want to earn 200$/hour and dont even know how to start?

Winning one tcooptitle doesnt mean much and you should start at 10% of your initial goals,which is still ambitious if you havent grinded 100h/month of cg before. Start @NL50 or NL100, grind for one month and reevauate.

GL!

well,

lol

more details pls?

$10/20 asia is like NL20 online right? And you luckboxed a donkament doesnt mean you can beat mid/higstakes games.

Negative.

If you are serious prolly shady small sites that don't offer rakeraces etc so less regs.

This ain't 2005 brother.
You can't expect these cash goals online and/or to start at mid-stakes and win right off the bat with this background. You should start at NL25-50 and see how you're doing then move up just a little more aggressively since you are rolled enough for the higher stakes.

I'm mainly in a similar spot as you and that's mostly what I've been doing after starting at NL10z like 6 months ago with weak volume and low level of study, went aggressively on the brm while moving up stakes and now I'm shooting at NL100z and I'm going to put great volume to end the year at 200z or 500z hopefully. You'll need patience to reach these goals and win at highstakes.

Start from the bottom to reach the top

Please move to Poker Dreams and Challenges forum.

In all seriousness, the first reply summed it up well. If anyone has to ask those questions then they have virtually no chance of getting close.

Just start at nl1k and move up fast. Regs at 1k are mostly just nits and with your live experience and your huge tournement scores you should crush the field. Its hard to estimate a winrate but i think you at least archive 7bb/100+ if you table select.

Also please don´t listen to the haters in your thread. Most people here are just jelly because they are grinding out a $3.5 hourly rate at nl10 lol
