Starting to think about next year

Its been a variance filled month but at least I am up so far. I have grinded my way back to about a 3k effective bankroll and have been doing a lot of thinking about next years goals.

The company I do CAT work for just finally started sending me local work for the off season. This takes a TON of pressure off of my poker game since now I likely won't have to cash out much if any each month for expenses.

In fact, I am now leaning more towards actually going for SNE now since I can afford failure. 3k may seem like a very low bankroll for trying a move to 100NL, but since I mainly play the 50BB tables I actually have 60 buy-ins right now for those games.

I am going to go ahead and move back to 50NL now to lessen the culture shock associated with a 2 level jump. Hopefully I don't blow my whole roll in the last two weeks of the month. :)

I do realize SNE is a huge accomplishment and will be very difficult for someone with a day job. But since I am used to working long hours and other individuals have shown that it is possible.. I think I am pretty dumb if I do not make an attempt. I ran the numbers and even if I average a loss of 2k each month, with rakeback I would average 6k income anyways. This is a bit more then my best year ever in my "real" job.

So I will crunch the numbers a bit more and post my plan for SNE next year sometime this month.. of course if I decide not to go for it, I will post that as well. 3.7 million hands next year seems very daunting.

Any advice would be appreciated!
