I have a $400 bankroll, and my plan is to two table 50NL until I either make Pokerstars SilverStar status for the month of March, or get down to $200. I can only two table because of internet connection crappiness and a lack of studliness on my part. I am going to go with cash games because I crunched some numbers and I would have to play an astronomical amount of SNGs to get enough VPPs. Also, cash games seem to have less variance for me.

Please do not tell me these are too high of stakes for me. I already know. The thing is that I have a full-time job, two kids in diapers, and very little time on my hands, so I can really only play at night and during naps on the weekends and during Spring Break (hence, why I am trying this in March).

I figure that the worst case scenario is that I lose 4 buy ins, which I am comfortable with. Then I'll drop back down to 10NL and grind away there again.

Since I am moving up in levels, I was wondering if anybody has any insight on differences between 25NL and 50NL. I have been profitable on the former, but I think I will have to be more aggressive on 50NL?

I will try to update with hands and stats throughout the month... I just got the 60 day trial of PT, which I am so stoked about. Any constructive insight is welcome.

Cheers!
