Summer of Love (and beyond?)

I made these goals out about a week ago.  Summer is finally here.  Time to put the plan into action.

Moving Through the Micros

Building a bankroll from $100 (.02/.04) to $5,000 (1/2)

The goal is to grind through micro-stakes no-limit hold ‘em and end up properly rolled for small stakes play. 

Start with 25 buy ins at .02/.04

            Move up when bankroll reaches 25 buy ins at the next level

            Drop down when bankroll falls under 20 buy ins at current level

                        * obviously cannot fall drop down from .02/.04

Stakes                                     25 buy ins                              20 buy ins

.02/.04                                    $100                                       $80

.05/.10                                    $250                                       $200

.10/.25                                    $625                                       $500

.25/.50                                    $1,250                                                $1,000

.50/1.00                                 $2,500                                                $2,000

1.00/2.00                             $5,000                                   $4,000

Hands required to move up from one level to the next at different win-rates:

BB/100                                              Hands

1BB/100                                            187,500

2BB/100                                            93,750

3BB/100                                            62,500

4BB/100                                           46,875

5BB/100                                            37,500

6BB/100                                            31,250

7BB/100                                            26,875

8BB/100                                            23,436

9BB/100                                            20,833

10BB/100                                          18,750

Hands per hour for 6-Max and Full Ring:

Estimated average is 90 hands per hour for 6-Max and 60 for Full Ring.

Goal is to play a minimum of 10 hours a week with a majority of play being done 4-tabling 6-Max. Let’s say on average 8 hours of 6-Max and 2 hours of Full Ring (6-tabling)

·         4-tabling 6-Max and 6-tabling Full Ring both average 360 hands per hour

·         10 hours/week = 3,600   20 = 7,2000   30= 10,800   etc.
