$10.00 to $20,000.00 in 2024 playing online poker

BANKROLL CHALLANGE - $10.00 - $20,000.00 IN 2024

1. PLAN

The idea is to turn $10.00 into $20,000 this year by playing online poker on ACR. I will start by playing $2NL Holdem, only one table, until I reach $20.00 dollars bankroll.
After that, I will add one more table until we reach a bankroll of 20 buy-ins($40.00), and then I will play four tables at the same time. The idea is to move up in stakes once I reach 20 buy-ins for the next level. ($100.00 for 5.00NL, $200.00 for 10NL)
Once I reach $1,200.00, I will start playing MTT($4-$10.00- buy-ins), but until then, I will do my best to avoid them because of the higher variance.
In case I move up in stakes and go on a downswing down to 15 buy-ins for that level, I will be moving one level down in stakes.
Since I work an office job, I will be playing five sessions a week, but some will be short. The longest sessions will be on Friday and Saturday since those days are my days off from work; the remaining three sessions will be 1 or 2 hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, depending on how tired I am from my office job.

2. MY POKER EXPERIENCE
I will be honest from the beginning: I don't have much experience playing poker.
I have been mostly stacked in low stakes online and struggling to keep the proper bankroll and move up in stakes.
Once in a while, I would take a break from it since it is taking too much time and energy from my daily work and routine.
I played $1/$2 and $1/$3 live poker last year and made some small profits, but the place where I live doesn't have a lot of small-stakes games, and I can't afford the bankroll to play any live games at the moment.
I have been studying for a while and decided to give poker another chance.
I am still studying daily, watching YouTube videos, reading books, and using solvers/tools available since I cannot afford private coaching.
That being said, any advice would be highly appreciated during this journey.

3. WHY AM I DOING THIS?
I know that the internet is full of streamers and poker players doing bankroll challenges and that this is not new, but I think this is something that will help me improve my game and become more disciplined.
The idea is to share my daily results and some interesting hands that I am not sure I played correctly, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I want to do my best and stick to the rules throughout this challenge, be truly transparent about the results, and share some interesting hands in this thread.
I enjoy playing poker, regardless of how hard this game can be, and I want to prove to myself that I can be profitable before I try playing it for a living.
I believe that this way, I will be able to keep track of my journey, and it will be easier to stick to the plan when I am writing about every step of the way, and it help me improve my mental game.

4. WHAT IF I SUCCEED IN THIS?
Once I reach $20,000 in my bankroll that same day, I will leave my office job and start the professional poker journey!

The first session will be later today! Wish me good luck.
