Poker game tonight

Well I wasn't planning on playing until the layoff starts but tonight some guys at work are trying to get a small poker game going. Sounds more like a SNG cause I doubt we get more than 8-10 people and he was talking about a small buy in tournament. Mainly just for fun I guess but I thought it could be fun.

My plan after next week is to get back to grinding small stales SNGs. Probably try 12-16 tabling 3.40s for a couple days to get back in the swing then go back to the 6.50s. I'm hoping to make $2500 over the 5 weeks I'm off at those stakes. I'd like to 20 table but may stop at 16 and play continuously. I'm being optimistic about how much I'll end up playing. I'd like to try and do about 200 games a day. If I can 20 table the 6.50s then Thats roughly 30 games an hour. If I do 3 sets of 2 hours a day with the last set going over until I get to 200 I think I can do it easily enough. Honestly I expect to run close to 15% which is $1 per game which should be roughly $200 a day and I want to play 5-6 days a week. I may do some 1/2 days and go golfing or drinking at night but I'd like to get up and get some morning games in and be able to take some breaks in between each set.

I honestly don't plan to make a move up to the 16Ts during this run. I know I'll be over rolled for it but I'd like to keep playing the 6.50s at Stars for the 5 weeks I'm off and with a higher ROI I should have lower variance and be able to keep up my pace. After this 5 weeks I plan to pull most of my profits off for some projects I've been working on and to cover what my unemployment doesn't while I'm off. After that depending on what my work schedule looks like and what happens with GM I'll decide if I'm going to keep playing.

I'd like to keep playing some every week but there is a rumor that we may start working a lot of over time when we come back from the shutdown and I'm already working 50+ hours a week so playing during the week won't be doable if I work any more hours than I am now but might try to start back up on the weekends.

Also I was sweating Stevie444 and Bax late on Sunday night in tournaments and although neither remembered or responded to me, some of the PXF crew noticed me and asked about me coming back. I don't have any hard feelings with PXF ending my mod status and membership last year cause when I got the new job and had some personal stuff going on I just didn't have time to even log in my less contribute to the forums any more. I don't plan on asking to be a mod again if I do join. I'm not sure how active I'd be if I did sign back up. I guess I should talk to mindwise soon and see what changes have been made.
