Online Poker...My challenge to turn $300 into $30,000

Tomorrow I start trying to build a bankroll playing on Pokerstars.com. I have been playing poker since 1998 and online for about a year. I have played on Party Poker, Paradise, Absolute, Noble and Pokerstars. I play Texas Hold'em, Omaha hi/lo and Omaha hi. I have found that for me, playing Omaha hi has been profitable. I have shown at least a small profit on all the sites I have played. Although some of my profit has come from playing in tournaments, initially to build my bankroll, I will be playing ring game Omaha hi. With a starting bankroll of $300, I will be playing in either 5/10 cent or 10/25 cent Omaha. Playing in a 5/10 cent means a maximum buyin of $10. A 10/25 cent buyin requires a $25 buyin. These are no-limit games, meaning on any given hand, I could have all my buyin at risk. If I play the $10 buyins, I have given myself 30 buyins (initial bankroll equals $300 divided by $10 buyin equals 30). Playing the $25 buyin, allows me only 12 buyins, considering I plan on playing 2-3 games at the same time, does not leave me much room for error. I plan on playing the $25 buyins and moving down to the $10 buyins if my bankroll falls down to $200. My record keeping will include hours played, money made or lost and hourly rate. My goal is to build my bankroll and move up into higher levels, never moving up until I have 30-40 buyins for the next level. I plan on playing at least 40 hours a week. My goal is to turn my $300 into $30,000 in six months. I have watched other online players make or far exceed this goal and now I want to give it a try. I will be sharing my experiences as they unfold.
