I've decided to start my 2009 SnG grinding 2 days early. The reason why is because the new week for rakeback starts on a Tuesday and it would be a lot easier to keep track of my rakeback on my excel sheet if I start up a new week every Tuesday.

Goals per week:
1) Play between 420-700 SnG's per week
2) Maintain a 10% ROI
3) Review hand histories
4) Maintain proper BR management
5) Keep my cool for when bad beats happen
6) Stay away from cash games!
7) Most important, HAVE FUN! :)

I will be playing 6 sng's per session but I won't hesitate to move up to 9 if I feel like I can do this and be profitable.

Each Tuesday morning, I will be creating a new blog posting my results as my stats will look like this:

1) games played
2) Profit/loss
3) rakeback

If I play a minimum of 420 SnG's per week (which is 60 per day), rakeback alone at 27% would be $28.35 and if I were to play 700 per week, rakeback would be $47.25.

So, if I can maintain a 10% ROI at 420 games, that would be around $52.50 and with the assistance or rakeback, my BR within a month should be up around $200-$300 dollars.

At the start of Febuary, hopefully by maintaining a 10% ROI, I can move up to the 2.25 level.

In closing, my starting BR will be at $52.62 which I think is enough to get me going at the 1.25 level. I will not move up in buy-in's until I have 100 buy-ins as I am most comfortable playing with 100 buy-in's.

So, my goal is to get my BR up to $200 dollars so I can move up to the 2.25 level.

From time to time, I will be posting a HH where I am stumped and if you want to comment on the HH, please do! Im still learning and want to continue to learn!

Thanks and wish me luck!!!!!!
