Zen,

I think you complicated the 2 % per day thing a little too much. If you just break it down to BB/100 hands, 1BB per hundred hands at any level is a piece of cake to add 2% per day to your bank roll. Now of course it wont happen every day, that was never the point. Somedays you'll be up others down, but over the course of 10000 hands can you make 1 BB per hundred, that is winnning game.

My point it slow and steady wins the race period, that is all there is to poker. Find a winning game and go with it day after day after day. You do not need spectacular winnings, an exciting game, acclaim and fame, 54 different fancy moves in your tool box, or even the ability to read, write, or carry on a conversation. You just need a winning game and patience.

Now i know everyone who reads this knows this is true, but many will lack the self discipline to carry it out. Let me remind all the most fun you will ever have playing poker is CASHING OUT, everything else is secondary.

Good luck and great poker.
