My friend Mark has posted a 90-day challenge on his blog: Mark's 90 day challenge
So it's time to break mine down into measurable, achievable steps:
- Improve poker game to be profitable 2 limits higher than I currently am
- Further defined
- I am currently playing $0.50/$1.00.
- In order to achieve my goal I have to move through $1/$2 to $2/$4.
- Moving up is a function of bankroll, which is a function of profitability.
- I have decided that I will require 500BB to move up, and 300BB to keep playing (otherwise I will move down).
- My bankroll is currently around $470 (don't have exact numbers here at work).
- I require $1,000 to move to $1/$2
