I am creating this operation to keep track of my progress, outline some goals, and post hands.

I did an operation a couple of months back for SNGs and such, but quickly got really tired of it and cashed out most of the dough to pay a bill or two. I left $93 dollars in my PS account and decided to see if I could build up a roll in ring games.

So I started in $2NL and worked my way up to $150 in about 6,900 hands. I am in my second day of $5NL. I will move up in stakes under the following schedule:

$2nl till roll = $150
$5nl till roll = $300
$10nl till roll = $750
$25nl till roll = $1,750
$50nl till roll = $4000
$100nl till roll = $10,000

I have been playing poker since August '07 (am new to ring games)and want to be sure I take it slow as I move up as I have read that skill progresses much slower than a roll. Which is why I am hitting 30 buyins before moving up. I won't hesitate to move down if I feel I'm not ready.

Objectives and Goals:
1. Stay disciplined. Only move up when I feel I'm ready, regardless of roll.
2. Become a regular at $100NL by the end of 2008.
3. Achieve Platinumstar status sometime by the end of 2008.
4. Ask for advice and post hands regularly on FTR.
5. Only play when well-rested and take breaks when tilt strikes.
