PLO Cash - Bankroll Management

Given my potential spunkage cash leak I figured it would a good idea to set out a rigid cash game plan and what better place to start than good old BRM.  Listed below is a BRM structure from noob level up even though I will be jumping in at around PLO100.  The intention is to stick at this level until I have built a dedicated cash game bankroll (rather than using my MTT one) as the added focus should act as a blocker to possible tiltages.

2012 Poker Goals

The plan going into this year is to split my playing time between Cash and MTT rather than just being a tourney tard.  I have taken the middle ground with my aims in MTT's for 2012 as I hope to be playing less volume and I'm really just guesstimating regarding the cash as I'm a relative noob.  I will amend these targets if I struggle to find the motivational secret behind cash grindage.


MTT
1 x 5k Scores
5 x 2k Scores
10 x 1k Scores

Cash
1, Grind out dedicated Cash Bankrolls to play PLO100:
   * Pokerstars $2.8k ($4k for PLO100 - $1.2k from 2011)
   * PKR $2.8k ($4k for PLO100 - $1.2k from 2011)
2, 100k+ hands (60k hands on Pokerstars and 40k on PKR)
3, $20k Profit

Live
1, To Sat into a decent Live Event (WSOP ME, 1 time)
2, To pop my DTD cherry
3, To get something approaching a sample in.
