Hey all,
I have been playing poker for a few years online and live. I am setting a new goal and just feel like typing it out publicly will help. I am a 22 year old college graduate and have had my heart set on this $10,000 car for a year. My goal is to pay for it completely from poker. I only have $90 online right now because of graduation expenses and about $300 in my live bankroll. I will be posting graphs and updates from my live play on the weekends here. Sorry if this is a waste of forum space just wanted to type it out in an open forum. Thanks.

Good luck man. I can guarantee you that online will be lot harder than live. I would recommend playing live because I barely cashed out my past losses online and have 0 now since I donked rest of winnings away. I made over 10k live but I wasn't able to get past 300 dollars online. Maybe it's because I suck in general online. I cashed out 200 total since my roommate cashed out 50 for me and ever since then, we've been playing wrecklessly. If you can buy your car through playing poker online, then you'll be able to do extremely well live. If you can reach 10k online, you should honestly go pro in poker. It's good that you have bankroll of 300 because I had 200 when I first started bankroll live. Keep it up, man. This forum's got lot to offer to supplement your bankroll, strategies, tips, etc. I've received enough information about several approaches to several situations and lot of members in this site were very friendly, especially the admin of this server.

I'm just curious what you play live with a bankroll of only $300? Do you play home games for like 10-20?

Lowest they have is 1-2 (100Max). I know its severly underrolled but the game is so soft on the weekends. Was making $500-$600 a weekend when i was there often a few years ago. Saved up and bought a ton of nice camera gear. Now starting again.

Beat: speeding ticket. 70 in a 55. That puts a little damper on things.

I play 200nl in vegas and the games are very very soft. I usually clean up at the cash tables late at night with all the drunk tourists!!

Good luck with your goal!

Exactly! And, having the same type of dream myself, I'm looking forward to seeing what he does/doesn't do to accomplish it. It'll be a learning opportunity for readers.

GL man!

Good luck on your goal, i seen many goals of this kind set before, but i don't know if any have actually completed, 10,000 might take very long time. good luck getting there.

Thanks all. The support really means a lot. I know this is probably done all the time (posted that is) and i havent seen one accomplished either. But hey $10,000 or bust (with BRM that is!).

Even with 300 you will be broke quick, live. Getting cold decked happens.

It would be hard to make any money at a 100 max table and what happens if your getting the right odds to call with a flush draw but do to bankroll you cant call with out putting the roll is trouble -ev. Just 1 example of of how a short roll can effect your play.

I play at a 300 max 1/2nl (I mean 1/2 20) and there is any where from 1500 to 2700+ on the table. This has made a huge difference in the amount of money that can be made in a few hours. I am averaging 15-25 an hour over 60 hours last month. My goal is to get to 2/5 as soon as possible, there is no max buy in there.

Good luck on your goal

Wow good luck, but i think u can get there faster if u play live and not in the internet, just an observation of about 7 years playing on the internet vs live poker.
