My goal was 20k for the month before I move up to 400NL, but that will never happen if I keep being this lazy.

$20k in a month at NL200 is pretty nasty. Mad props if you can pull that off

in the last 5 months pretty much playing only $200 NL/PL 6MAX I've made $11K-$15K every month w/rakeback. This while only playing 35K-50K hands.

$20K net is very doable. I'm trying to play 75K hands per month now. I played 50K last month. You only need a 5.56ptbb/100 earn plus rakeback at ~4.40 cents per hand-at least at Party to make $20K. Being disciplined to get in the hours and not breaking down mentally is the key.


Initially I ran at around 10ptbb/100 in my first 25K. Now at 142K hands my earn is ~7.00ptbb/100. I ran pretty poorly last couple months but I was also playing poorly frustrated by my deteriorating earn rate. I looked over my last 85K hands from June.01 to Aug.07 where I earned ~5.75 ptbb/100 using PokerTracker's re-player...looks like during this stretch I missplayed/tilted 2.50-3.50ptbb/100-not good ..I replayed almost 1500 losing hands. I think 8-9ptbb/100 is very doable in the $200's. I 'd like to get my winrate up around 8 again before moving over to the $400's and grinding the fock out of them for ~6.

I'm forcing myself to stay in the $200's and play way more hands and really improve all aspects of my play before moving up for good to the $400's.

$20K is easily doable in the $200's if you are a machine.
