Serious Grinding

Ok, Last Tuesday I finally decided to step it up and play the $55 2 man hu. I grinded 8-12 hours every day with breaks only to eat and shower. because of this I was able to put in 264 games 1 tabling with decent results. I made about $1100 net and I think my potential is much higher. I was able to make this decent profit dispite running horribly and being on a sick 180 game breakeven stretch. The $55's are filled with bad regs and fish I am pretty sure I will be able to dominate this level for the next month. I will begin 2 tabling once I get to $7000 and I will move up to the $115's when I get to $12,000.

Current Roll $5,184

Ok let me start off by apologizing for the long layoff. I have had a pretty crazy month outside of poker. my volume has been nowhere near where I would like for it to be. My results have been pretty solid when I have played though. I began this challenge on November 21, 2008 now its been nearly 3 months and my roll is only at $4,665. Although my Roi is excelent 15% I have 2 very major leaks stopping me from reaching my full potential.
1-Insanely low volume- caused by a completely unorganized lifestyle and distracting people around me.
2-Fear moving up in stakes- Although my game is very capable of beating the higher limits I still tilt very easily and cannot handle the mental aspects of losing a large amount of money. In fact I never feel completely comforatable playing a game unless I have 100+ buyins for that level.

With all that said heres the new plan. I stll think that I am more then capable of reaching the $100,000 mark by November 21, 2009 If I create and follow a realistic proper work schedule each month.
Current Roll- $4,765
