    Unhappy Operation: Build the Game (was: 100NL)

    (edit: I revised short term goals - they are good but not tangible, and BR is too nitty because my shitty dayjob provides me with basic needs. I don't have to withdraw to buy food/pay rent so I can lower BR.)

    Bankroll req (modified)

    10NL: 30BI (drop down at 20)
    25NL: 40BI (drop down at 30)
    50NL: 50BI (drop down at 40)
    100NL: we'll see at €5k mark.

    Starting roll for today: €1167

    I put such a big number of buyins for couple of reasons:
    - boss network players are baddish but pretty aggressive
    - I'm risk averse
    - deepstack tables
    - my job income sucks, so I need to boost it with withdraw €100/month
    - when I complete my operation, I will be ready to quit job and go pro, at least to the time when I gather funds to start my own company.

    Withdraw handicap: €100/month, because my paycheck amount is laughable and without some basic "having fun in life" I will just go crazy. But I won't withdraw, when it will lower bankroll to dropdown value. Maintaining stakes is the most important thing.

    Primary longterm goal:

    Build well rounded tight aggressive game, that is enough to beat 100NL full ring games.

    Secondary goal:

    Beat 100NL FR on Boss network for more, than 4PTBB/100 8-tabling and maintain 20k hands/month


    20k hands x 0.08bb/hand x €1/bb x 4PLN/€ = 6400PLN


    It's more than enough to live comfortably with budget:

    2000PLN to growing bankroll ("if you withdraw without growing your bankroll you'll finally go broke" - SmackinYaUp)
    1000PLN to investing in low risk assets (because I already got one high risk asset lol)
    3400PLN to live comfortably in my poor-ass country.

    So I'll play some €10nl, to refresh my strategies and complete roll requirements, after that I will post some hands in order to improve strategy and learn.

    8-10 hours of play per week (avg 2h/working day, 2 days off).

    Jumping up stakes rules:
    - reducing multitabling to 4 tables in first 20k hands (learning and improving winrate), then 8 tables (improving hourly rate)
    - game selecting to avoid tougher unknown regs
    - stop loss at -2BI of bad plays, tilt, or when I feel I'm just getting owned

    After sessions I will be posting some hands to brag/comment/critique/analysis/etc.
