Yes, this is true. Dwarfie, I know you play all the time. I know that if you focused on playing for the next three months you could EASILY attain your goal of having a $3000 bankroll. I doing it myself and it has been a piece of cake.

For those that don't know, Ilikeaces86 staked me nine weeks ago. I have $2240 in profit over those nine weeks playing NL25. All of this has been done playing in my free time which I don't have a ton of (I am usually gone from my house for 12-13 hours a day during the week). Some of this is definitely bonus money, but the majority of it is pure profits.

So yes, I think $3000 isn't a high enough goal.

What I don't know if I agree with is the whole moving up in stakes and doubling every month goal. I don't have enough experience to know how NL50 goes.....but from my *very limited* experience the play is a little better. Camping didn't work as well for me. My AA/KK always seemed to get busted (or the betting would lead me to believe it had been busted so I'd fold)...My sets wouldn't get paid off, etc.

So I dunno. Maybe I haven't played enough at NL50. Maybe what I experienced was just a semi-downswing or something (which I immediately made up for right when I switched back to NL25). Who knows.

All I know is this.....$3000 doesn't seem high enough, but moving up levels like that might seem a little bit lofty.


P.S. I still think you're sufficiently BRed for NL25 right now (four tabling) if you're camping.
