Default $300 a day plan

i have been playing 10/20 holdem online now for a little over 1 year now. here are some of my numbers over this past year:
-i average approx 25 hrs of play per month
-i average a win of approx 1,200 per month
-i make approx $45 per hour playing 10/20 (1 table usually)
-i win about 61% of my sessions, meaning i will win 6 out of every 10 times i sit down and play
now i have a plan to sit down with 300 bucks every time at a 10/20 table and if i win OR lose 300 bucks i get up and i'm done for the day. with this plan, if i can play everyday and if i can win 2/3rds (66%) of my sessions, i can make approx 3k every month.
does this plan sound possible? does anyone else here have a plan similiar to this? comments questions are appreciated...

In the long run, the amount you make is going to depend entirely on the # of hands you play. So your plan is not going to affect your winrate at all.

Capping your wins is BAD. If you've got a table filled with 80/0/1's, are you REALLY gonna stop after winning/losing 15 BB's?

Play until you have something else to do or are tilting.

Playing more hands means making more money. However you structure this out is insignifigant unless you get dumb after winning or losing 15BB.

Instead of capping your wins and losses, play more tables

by my calculations you've played 30k hands in one year. That is a drop in the bucket. You may not even be a winning player at 10/20. What is your contingency if you start losing a lot at 10/20? Are you prepped to move down in limit?

this plan sounds horrible. you want to maximize the hands you play against bad players.

your sample-size is quite small.



By your plan, you might play 15 minutes on one day and then play 5 hours the next day.
Why would you want to do this?

And how you play them. It's not just the # of hands you play.
