My poker path... what now? (long)

[AlfilRey]

Thanks to everyone who posted a serious reply. I appreciate it.

Currently I´m inclined to take about $25,000 and start up at $2/4. Set an amount of buyins to make and stick at that limit until this is achieved. Continue to move up levels until I reach the level where I can sustain the highest long term hourly rate.

If I lose the $25,000, it will have meant one of two things:

1. I´ll have lost over 62 buyins at $2/4.
2. I´ll have tilted and moved up to higher limits, breaking a crucial condition of my plan.

In either case the only move that will make sense is to permanently quit poker.

Is this plan good? Is there a better course of action? (other than to play 300/600 HU vs sbrugby as kindly suggested)


Also, as for:

AlfilRay,
I get the idea from reading your post that you haven't played enough hands to have any idea what your real winrate/what games your +ev.

Yeah there´s a fair bit of truth to that. However, someone commented on post-UIGEA. I don´t know to what extent that applies. I´m sure it´s had a negative effect, but I only play on European sites so it´s hopefully not as devastating to my winrate as it is to most American players.

I think this is a very solid plan given your history. Good luck.
