Hello guys. I started grinding MTTs at an avg BI of 20$/E on multiple european sites and I was curious if this BRM strategy I came up with is any good or if you think I should make any adjustments to it.
First of all my poker strategy is to grind a game with little variance and make constant profit witch I use to buyin directly to the biggest tournaments available. I used this successfully a couple of years ago grinding 3+R on stars and manage to make like 2.3K in one week and bought in to multiple MTTs and got lucky enough to take 2nd one of them for 20K.
Afterwards I started learning cash games witch I played for about one and a half years where I managed to break even for ~600K hands and spent my poker bankroll on lifetime needs.
I start now with a 10K bankroll (poker+life) and I came up with this strategy for grinding+BRM.
* I grind avg BI 20$/E BI on multiple european sites, selecting only the ones that start deep stacked and have more than 10 minutes blind levels and avg players ~150.
* I grind big 5 and phase 1 on stars that are higher variance. Phase 1 starts with a deeper stack and making the phase 2 equals to mincashing so I think it is a very good choice.
* I invest 2.5% of my total BR in playing + cashing out : 230 in tournament Buyins + 8% of them for daily cashout = 18.5$ = 248.5$.
* I assumed an ROI of 40% in them. Ill be playing around 22 days per week with around 2.000$ profit and 400$ for monthly lifetime expenses. * I want to use the whole profit to directly buyin every week to Sunday warm-up and Sunday million for a chance to score very big.
* I want to keep the profit I make out of SM and SWU and play the scoops/wcoops.

I`m not sure about of couple of things so I would like to give me some advice on this.

1) First of all my main goal should be ? Trying to get that life changing big score in the next 1-3 years or trying to move up stakes progressively ? I always struggled with this and Im always thinking Im making the wrong decisions. Using the whole profit and not giving myself a chance to move up might not be optimal in the wrong run. On the other part, not giviing myself a chance to play for a lot of money might also be frustrating. Im really confused on this one :) 2) Should I focus firstly on moving up to 50$+ BI and add the profit to BR ? 3) What games would you grind with a starting BR of 10K so you can cash-out monthly 400-500$ and still be able to move up in stakes ? I feel like I am most solid in MTTs and can play profitably any buyin but I have no problem in grinding another game if it`s more profitable.

I have been playing poker for 5 years now and it has been a fun ride where I learned and played a lot of games (MTTs, SNGs - every format except hypers, SH cash games - NLH and PLO). I feel like changing the games every year is not optimal and I should stick to one thing and try to improve.

I appreciate any advice guys and want to thank you for the time spent reading this.
