$x - $1000 Challenge

I am starting a new bankroll target for myself. I have done two before, one I busted out after going on hypertilt and one I got from $50 to $500 then withdrew the money as it was needed.

I welcome any low stakes players to join in a challenge to get to $1000. I started from $32 about a week ago, and my progress is as follows


Day 1 $32
Day 2 $52
Day 3 $75
Day 4 $102
Day 5 $102 (didnt play)
Day 6 $118
Day 7 $124
Day 8 $180 (today - so might change)

My target is $1000. Where i plan to take any further profit to my bank account. I have no interest in a $5000 bankroll playing $100nl.

I will be playing only cash games and mostly $10nl, but sometimes $20nl if i have notes on a couple of players at a table.

hi there,

interested in how you go about your challenge. i like the way you really add to your stack each day. what limits are you playing? i think i am trying to do the same thing and playing really tight, putting very little at stake. i started with 50$ like 4 weeks ago and currenlty up to 220$. playing 0.05/0.10 5$ buy-in playing plh. trying to use the 30 x buy-in rule until moving up to the next level.

good luck

I am playing mostly 5c/10c.

The most difficult part for me is avoiding tilt and keeping to good bankroll management, I have the ability to reach $1,000 via $10nl / $20nl. Its just keeping my mind clear after bad beats.

Congrats on the quick progress. Not meaning to burst a bubble though, but what are you going to do if a bad run comes? Stick at 10nl still or 20nl? Or drop down. I've got a challenge for myself, i'm playing at 2nl but i'm not allowed to step up till i've played 10k hands an I can show a cushty profit. My current roll is at $59 an even if I get up to £80 i'm not stepping up to 4nl. I figure I want to be able to kill all levels. Just something to try. I'm @ 2,2k hands atm an i'm showing a profit of 10bb/100 which i'm quite satisfied with at the moment, just gotta keep it up But GL with it . If i get up close to you I might join in with the race :P

BTW. I started @ $20 2 weeks ago.

$10nl is the lowest stakes. If a bad run comes, i just carry on

Well I really hope for you dude that it isnt a long bad run! Depends what type of game you're playing tbf. Are you multi-tabling? Usually tightens your game up because you're unable to worry about Post-Flop so much. What site you playing on?

My target is 1,000,000

Yes, but the alrger the bankroll gets. if the buy in stays the same, the risk of going broke gets smaller. Update to follow

Well I like the Idea of this, and your stack is getting bigger, My problem also is tilt. not that I tilt to often but I lately give up to easy. I dont get mad I get disgusted in my playing. But I think I'll try. I just need to make a deposit.

Im so bad at updating, slow last few days. up to $282

last time i tried to build my bankroll off freerolls... i made it to $100 but then lost it in a couple days

wish u good luck though

so what happened ? no more posts

Well i just started out a new bankroll to. Started today with 50$ and after struggling a bit i ended up with 53$. Not too good, but didn't lose any either so i am happy with that.
Don't really have a goal, just wanna beat the nl10$.

Just opened this post and realised I stated it lol. I believe I got to about $350 and withdrew.

Just opened an account with Tong G poker and started with $35, got it up to $70 and got fed up with the connection issues i got with them (constantly sitting me out) so withdrew the $70.

Now playing at red kings, deposited about $25 and now am up to $45 after an hour or so. I have no doubt I am good enough to beat $10 and $25 nl. But tilt if somebody hits a 2 outer on me.

I will make use of the exit room now as soon as this happens - so challenge 2 aiming for $1000


Day 0 - $25
Day 1 - $45 (currently)

Not a bad day getting back into it. Was about to leave the table after getting a bit tired, get pocket aces. In later position the best player at the table raises it up to 70c I re raise to $1.8 to be sure to put out some limpers, he comes over the top to $3.9 ish. I move it to $8

He thinks a bit and calls. Now im thinking he has either AKs or KK.

flop comes down J43 mixed. I shove and we are both all in. Now, I know what he had, but if it was a room that waits until the river to reveal cards I would have cried with the next two cards

turn Q
River K


Anyway - he had 63 offsuit.

I guess he must have had a bad beat at another table. Now I fully appreciate the beauty of exiting when you get suckered. Feast on those players - dont be one.

End of play today

Day 0 - $25 (deposit amount)
Day 1 - $92.83

I will try not to play again today unless I feel really fresh later on this evening.
