If you started a new PT database this should obviously help you to see where your playing level is at. You can objectively look and see what your results are. You could meet the goals to move up each time (eventually), but you may not be able to tell which level you are most successful at, if you simply keep moving up. Once you meet one of your goals to move up to next level, really look at your results. See what your bb/100 is etc. Then when you are about to move up again, look and see the differences. You may not realize that it took you 50% longer to reach the next level (or that you did it a little quicker). Also, be honest about how you have felt during play at each level. If you remember feeling really anxious when re-raising w/ AKs, then maybe you should move back down a level, and just try to crush it for all its worth.
my  Man, I should take my own advise. I am not even using PT now, since I got a new computer. GL |

I think, if you are putting this mouch thought into a "plan" you should also add a component geared toward # hands as well. If you reach the +$200 goal and move up after a great run in only 2000 hands, you will have very little useful information to know if you were playing well, getting lucky, etc. Also, you would have very little information as to what leaks are developing/exist in your game that you might be able to fix as you move up in limits (if not before).
I think it is reasonable to assume that as you move up each limit the likelyhood that there are players who will be able to see your flaws and exploit them goes up. Where you might be able to get away with the flaw in 5c/10c, by the time you get to 25c/50c it is going to be killing you for 4x the cost/ mistake. Set up PokerTracker (and learn how to use it), set up PAHUD (and learn how to use it - table selection and during a hand), and datamine every night/day while you are away from your computer so that when you sit down you have as much info on as many players as possible. Set a # hands goal for each level IN ADDITION to the monetary goal to move up. If you are not hitting the money goal, keep playing beyond the minimum # hands until you do. 5c/10c ($10 buyin) x 20 buyins = $200 Why start at $1000? I like the idea that you don't want to be right on the edge of the bankroll requiremtns, so here is my suggestion... DO NOT put the whole $1000 online. Take $500 and put it online (that is 50 buyins) and take the other $500 and if you succeed, great, take the $500 and buy something nice for your you or family, if you don't cash out whatever is left and buy something nice for your family with $500 + extra.

Brian I kinda like your plan. Win the 8 buyins then move to the next level
with the profit.The key will be discipline If you lose the profit You need to back down every time NO MATTER WHAT.. If you bust at the next level take a break and rethink where you went wrong Even if you go bust at the next level due to 2 outers and the like and not from how you played ,You still have to commit to moving back down. I repeat NO MATTER WHAT Commit to never redepositing....
