Taking Sit n Go's seriously

    Hi

    Quick background before I get into why im posting this mail.
    I've been playing poker about a year and a half, mostly online.
    Up to now I've been playing purely for fun, mainly MTT's & SnG's. I've had moderate success to date with MTT's but I know overall im a losing player, which hasn't bothered me up to now. Whenever I've made decent money e.g. 1k+ I've withdrawn it and just deposited again when I wanted to play again.

    I've decided start playing poker seriously e.g. try to adopt some sort of bankroll management and make a serious attempt to improve my game.
    I'll be focusing on Online Sit n Go's, turbo sit n go's specifically.
    I'll be playing turbos because I don't have alot of time to dedicate to this (e.g family commitments etc).
    I realise that there's a lot more luck and less skill (I assume) to turbos then normal 15 blinds but nevertheless this is what I'll doing
    I'll be multi tabling 6 tables at a time and will be playing $16 turbo SnG's initially, If things go to well hopefully I can move up levels. Because I'll only be playing an average of 15 hours a week im not sure how realistic im being here.

    Here's a matrix of what I think is required for me to play at a certain level. Can't insert a table, hopefully this makes sense.$ Buy in (level)
    |$ required for multi tabling(6 tables)
    |When to start withdrawing profit from account

    16
    576
    >960
    27
    972
    >1620
    38
    1368
    >2280
    60
    2160
    >3600

    * calculated as 6 * 'Buy in' * 6 tables, e.g. 6 * $16 * 6 = $576
    **calculated as 10 times '$ min required for multi tabling (6 tables at once)
    e.g once i earn more then this amount i start withdrawing as profit assuming i remain playing at the given level.

    I hope that makes sense?

    Also should i invest in Poke Tracker or equivalent? Do you think im at a serious disadvantage in not utilising these types of tools?

    All comments, suggestions welcome.
    Cheers

    I'm not going to go in to detail. But to be honest with you I think $576 is barely enough to be playing $5 stt's, nevermind $16 ones.
    I know that sounds very negative, and it could be because I'm such a losing player. But I'm sure 20 to 30 game losing streaks are not uncommon.
    Also if your planning on moving up levels, forget about withdrawing profits, period.
