Sup guys,

My name is Mike and I'm from the US//California. I moved to Taiwan a year after Black Friday to continue my dream of becoming a professional poker player. I used to be a pure SNG grinder and I've come to realize it's very hard to pursue this path while living in an Asia timezone, as I would have to be completely nocturnal to put up decent volume. ( and as we all know, volume is very important for SNGs grinders, or just poker in general) So this year, after signing up on RIO and studied multiple videos and PLO books, I've decided to give it a shot starting at the micro stakes of PLO zoom and climb my way up and see if I can succeed as a cash pro. I've never grind cash professionally before in my poker career so this will be a big transition for me.

Even after reading how bad the rakes are in low stake plo zoom I still think it will be a good place for me to learn and acquire experiences that I need with plo + the fast pace of 4 tabling zoom suits me since I use to grind 25-35 tables of sngs.

The reason I'm starting a journal is just to record my progression and revolve myself around positive and successful Poker Minds on RIO. I believe it will help me get through the hurdles that I will undoubtedly face in the path of my plo career.

I will be adopting to a more aggressive bankroll management and moving up in stakes whenever I win 10bi of the next stake and dropping down when losing the 10bi.

I.E. Plo5 + 100$ profit --> move to Plo10 +250$ profit ----> move to plo25 and moving down when losing the 10bi shots until I win 10bi from the previous stake again.

Short term goal:
- Grind min of 4000 hands daily.
- reaching platinum star on a monthly bases to maintain at least a 25% rb to cover monthly expenses.
- moving up to plo25 zoom while maintaining a positive ev pre rb.
- somehow get enough likes to receive an elite month membership so I can watch all of phil's plo videos.

Mid term goal:
- Grind min of 4000 hands daily.
- achieving supernova by 6 months period for more rb.
- moving up to plo50 zoom while maintaining a positive ev pre rb.
- somehow get enough likes to receive an elite month membership so I can watch all of phil's plo videos.

Long term goal:
- Grind min of 4000 hands daily.
-achieve supernova +200k vpps.
-moving up to plo100//200 zoom while maintaining a positive ev winner pre rb.
-achieving financial stability through poker.
-making enough to afford Elite videos and watch all of Phil's omaha videos.

Thanks for reading and I can take constructive criticism so feel free to leave any suggestions or comments.

TL:DR sng grinder decides to move to plo zoom starting at plo 5.
