Bankroll competition open for everyone

This thread would be a kind of controll panel.
I heard in an audiobook that if you write down what you want you gain power. Dreams have no power. You can say "I wanna be a professional poker player", but that doesn't make sense. What does it mean professional? Making 100.000$ a year, or just to be listed at the Hendon Mob? So we need clear specified goals to reach what we want.
Here's the competition:
If you want to enter, first you need to decide your goal. The competition is about your Bankroll, you should write down where you begin, and where you wanna end. For begginners it can be a goal to make from the 1$ freeroll winning 100$ in a month.
But you must choose a goal which you are not sure you can do it. What will challange you. You also have to write down a deadline for the reaching. (think in months or weeks)
As you write it down in this thread the others will be watching you, and you can't just loose your bankroll, coz that means a failure.
You can write down if you achieved 1/4 or 1/3 of your goal, and your getting closer, or if you are busted. If you reach the deadline you have to write down where you at. If you can make it, you can be proud of yourself, and we'll be proud also. CC needs players who can achieve their goals.
So this is gonna be fun, but you should take it seriosly. No re-deposits!

I'm gonna start it.

I wanna go from 30$ to 1000$

deadline 2006.09.30.

(at titan)

$25 to$500 by 9/3, (my birthday present to me!).

well the way i'm playing and with the hands I'm getting, it looks like I'll be negative by my birthday.

Just go from 20 to 50-100 by my birthday which is in october. Just keeping it real

im in for 19.90 to 100 by twizzies birthday also
playing at titan

Well I'm at 50$ which is not bad in a day .
What's up with the other fellow CC members?
Not up for a competition?
CHICKENS?

I like this post, and I hope it doesnt seem flippant when I say :-

'to win a wsop bracelet by 2020' it is wishful thinking of course!!

The reason why I like it, is because it highlights something fundamentality important. When you keep accurate records it is amazing how determined it makes you to achieve good results.

I want to qualify for a big tournament before the year is out.

Whether it be the EPT, WCOOP, or even the Sunday million but for that my goal would be to place in the money.

Long shot maybe but I'm going for it....


G-man

I find that results based goals, as in "I want to make x dollars by x time" isn't a good way of achieving for me. I have some performance based goals (not in that way) that I'd like to work on.

So my goal is to play within my bankroll, applying my planned risk management strategy in every session I play in until the end of the year. In achieving this goal I will reduce the damage of drawdowns and keep my equity swings manageable.

my goal is to play solid poker with-in my budget and slowly build my bankroll.

Well I had a nice run of bad luck, bad beats, frozen screens, you name it. Bankroll went down to $1.20 but with some masterful playing on the .01/.02 micro tables brought it up to $11. The games on!

My goal is to enjoy and hopefully watch the Bankroll grow

I like this thread My goal is to get back the 10% I lost on my BR after a brutal run of cards by months end. I'll decide my growth rate once I achieve this initial goal!

My goal is to start with $10 and not go broke

My goal is to make my $88.80 into $300 by Oct.11th

I have actually just started keeping an accurate record of all the games I play so this should be fun for me. It's interesting that in 9 days and 27 tourneys that my starting BR of $97.70 has only dropped by $8.90
It was up as high as +$20.60 but I've run into a string of bubbles that I need to break through.

my goal is to make some money and to win some of the cc daily tournaments on titan and to have fun if it isnt fun it isnt worth doing and making money is fun so i hope everyone meets thier goals but not at my expense

I'm new here but I'm up for this. My goal is to make my $20 deposit last year hold up until retirement. Actually my exact bankroll is $14.56. I want to turn it into $100 by...lets say...October 1st. My secondary goal is to be withdrawing $100 a month starting Christmas.

The only thing that'll stand in my way is the "GOOD DEALS" satellites offer.

i dont currently play for money i use UB.com and my goal is to come in top 12 of an ultimate points game and get enough pts to play ultimate pts tables.

I'd like to make my $17.60 turn into $500 by Xmas 06.....nice little xmas present there. As long as I stay away from Royal Vegas, I think I'll be fine.


PS: I played a Freeroll last night on Royal Vegas and ended up only playing 3 hands in an hour (and busted out on the 3rd one). I had 95 offsuit 6 times, 72 offsuit 5 times, 72 suited 3 times and lot of highcard-low card mixtures i.e Q3 K5 K2 J4 etc....had 2 pocket pairs 33 and 22 lol. What a sketchy tournament.

Anyways be that as it may, $500 by xmas....if i succeed, a round of drinks for everyone!

My goal is to win a game of strip poker against Jessica Alba before I die. ...

Heh, heh heh...yeah...I wanna play her 'heads up'.

Heads-down would be good too.

I'm at $67.92 already

Nice run Jimbo!
Well, I know I started this thread and yeah we need clear goals, but did I say you can't change them? LOL
That 1000$ for me is faar away, at the moment i'm around 80$, but I couldn't play much, and I am ill now (yes, I'm the looser who has a flu in the summer - just cycle home in rain at 4am and you can have it too...)
So I'm still not playing that much.But I made it to an online 160$ final satellite for a live event,it'll be on 28th,where 1 from10 wins seat.
So my new plan is
80$->300$ till 1th of September, because I need the money for a Spanish language course, and an exam after that (intermediate).
How are you guys doing?

OK, I'll give this a shot. Have been thinking about goals recently anyway.

I'd like to play at least two local tournaments per month, and more than that (obviously) when on vacation in Vegas, which I'm well on my way to making a regular habit. I'd also like to become more comfortable and more proficient (read: out of the red) in cash games.

I'd like to play in at least one WSOP event next year, whether I get entry through a satellite or build up my bankroll enough to buy in directly.

Oh yes, and I'd like to win a tournament, which is something I've yet to do in the B&M poker world.

Took me awhile but mission accomplished!

I've already achieved my bankroll "goal" for this year - and I still have 3 months to go:

Withdraw 5K in profits from bonus-whoring and/or poker playing to my bank account.

This is only because the Mrs and I have this nice little deal where at the end of the month anything over $1000 in my bankroll is "swept" into my bank account - this does reduce the bankroll potential, since I can't rollover profits and move up to 2/4 games, but it does allow me to use my winnings before doing something stupid like losing it on a poker or bad sportsbook bender, as well.

Object start with 30 in Octobe. Cash out 500 at end of month.

This is GREAT! I have three goals. The first is to go to a casino and play holdem at a table and not shake like I'm having sex the first time by the end of 2006.

Second goal is to grow the $7.50 I won yesterday finishing in second place at WPE $50 Free Roll tourney to a $100 by 11/01/2006.

Third goal is to grow my $1.00 bankroll at Bodog to $200 by the end of this year.

After considerable thought, my initial goal is to make 1k by christmas starting with a bankroll of 50.00, which I will deposit by the sixth of october.
but tonight I'm entering a .10 tourney in hopes of making 50(a mini goal to start).
Will keep you up to date with whats going on, and will need some help achieving my initial gaol as I can be quite the procratinator.........lol

I also have the same goal Flower to sit at a live table before the end of 06, i'm kind of scared, and you know they will see that.
And to take 50$ and grow it into 500$ by end of oct.

I would like to make $50 in to $75 or $100 before the end of '06.

Breaking even is fine too, but you've got to keep thinking positive hehe

I'm starting a new challenge for myself

Primary Challenge
Turning $300 in BR into $600 from $10+1 SNG's by November
Follow up goal
Turning $600 into $1200 in $20+2 SNG's by Jan 1st 2007

I plan on it taking 500-1000 SNG's to move up through each level unless I get on a really good run.


Secondary challenge
Playing a $11 and $22 2000+ person tourney nightly, and by EOY be at least even. This goal is mostly to get free experience, on a regular large game.

Tertiary Challenge
Winning an entry into the 2007 WSOP for less than $1000 invested in sattelite buy-ins

Made my deposit yesterday and if this keeps up I'll far surpass my initial goal
