if the market bounces back my RSUs goes back and I'm back to where I was. I don't plan on harvesting my put profits, I'm secretly hoping I lose it all.

you could lose on both ends. a quick double dip crash would wipe out your RSUs all the same and your options finish out of the money as 90% of them do.

One's investment plan should not rely on "if". Sit with a piece of paper - write down the scenarios that are possible, not the ones you want to happen. Now project forward - thinking what should I have done if each of these were true.
