I just started grinding FR cash games maybe 4 months ago after playing nothing but MTTs and SnGs initially. Someone told me they were more 'dynamic' and I'm inlined to agree.

I started with $50 at 25NL & got up to $150 before I heard anything about bankroll management. When I heard I needed $500 to play 25NL, I decided to be an asshole and keep playing 25NL until I was rolled for it. I got lucky, made it up to $500, then kept on going.

Here's my long-term plan. It's fairly aggressive (reckless) compared to what some of the BR nits recommend, but the money isn't really important to me in that I don't rely on it to pay the bills, and I've got no problem dropping back down when I have a bad streak...done it more than a few times.

25NL till $800, drop down at $700
50NL till $2200, drop down at $2000
100NL till $5000, drop down at $4500
200NL till $11000, drop down at $10000

I'm sure I'm in for a harsh slap in the face at the higher stakes, but I can take it. I've been sucking up information like a sponge, learning tons, reading books, posting hands (thank you FR forum) and my game feels tighter than it ever has now.

Honestly, this little project has just been like playing a role playing game. Building enough experience points until I can 'level up' to where the monsters are tougher, but give you more XP. That's honestly my perspective on it.


No idea why I posted this....uhhh....wish me luck? ...or better yet, skill?
