Now that I'm to the point where I'm regularly winning decent sized buyin ($2/4NL-$5/10NL) shorthanded cash games, I wanted to start putting some focus on other areas of my NLHE game that I don't currently spend much time on. My first area to work on is going to be heads up SNGs and I wanted to get some comments from you about my proposal. Here is my rough draft so far, please tell me what you like and don't like and I'll try to make some adjustments. I plan on starting this operation in the middle of February, so I still have plenty of time to make some changes before I start. But once I start, I want to keep all variables consistent so I won't changing things along the way.

NOTE to MODs: I know this is a cash game forum, but I appreciate the comments of the FTR members that come to this section quite a bit and wanted to get feedback here first. I am using this operation to get better at heads up play in general, so that I can continue to improve my shorthanded cash game skills. Heads up = shorthanded.

----------------------------

Operation Heads UP+++
goal: to earn a profit of $5000 exclusively through HU SNG play
investment: $1000

BR mgmt:
14 Buyins = move down a level
15-29 Buyins = stay at current level
30 Buyins = move up a level

Buyins Rake 14 22 30
30 1.5 441 693 945
50 2.5 735 1155 1575
100 5 1470 2310 3150
200 8 2912 4576 6240

Assessment:
how many games before reaching goal?
how many hands before reaching goal?
time spent total hours before reaching goal?
hourly rate?

assumptions:
I will win $5000 or lose $1000 trying, no inbetweens (I can afford this BR from my cash game BR, it's ok if I lose it all)
I will follow these BR rules exclusively, no exceptions whatsoever (separate account, separate BR)
I will not play less than $30/$1.50 SNGs, even below 14 buyins (just doesn't seem worth my time considering what I make playing cash games)
I will start @ $50NL level
I will play a mixture of blind escalation rates (Regular, Turbo, Ultra Turbo - I'm curious to hear if anyone objects to this approach for any reason and wants me to play ONLY one type)

In answer to your question... it depends...
