Ok, so I was gonna wait until I was a little further along in this little project before posting anything, but here we go.


When I decided to start playing again, I figured I'd do something fun and perhaps inspire some people who may be struggling. I started playing again on February 6th with $50.01 in my account, and I plan to have made over $10,000 in NLHE Ring Games before August 6th. This is of course without making any more deposits, and following pretty standard BRM (25 up, 20 down). I've already made good progress, tripling my BR and up to 5nl.

So Far :

21773 hands Played
$105.73 Won
12.34BB/100

This is gonna be really cool to watch, ds! If you can, post some of the hands that you think are interesting or good money makers and then we can discuss them.

I can't wait to see how you do! Good luck!

Good luck with this challenge mate, I'll be very interested to follow aswell.

Will you be making any session videos of sessions of 5NL, 10NL, 25NL etc?

If you pull this off I'd be very keen to watch how you play through various levels.

Good luck I'll be watching.

I'll see about making a couple videos along the way. It'll be at least a week or so before I'll even have a chance to though since I'd have to get a new mic.

Best of luck- doing well so far!

I'm not much of a cash game player, so tried something similar with sngs- the $1 turbo 45 player sngs are just as easy as most freerolls!

played 500 of them and made $230 (plus cleared $50 free cash), so am now playing another 500 to see if I can do better, having deposited $50 (so am clearing another $50 bonus)

Effectively the $50 cash/ bonus pays for the $0.10 fee - so it's basically rake-free.

I find cash games too stressful- when someone hits that 2/3 outer on the river then losing a nice stack thats taken hours to build up can drive me mad, whereas in a $1 sng all you've lost is the buyin.

getting to $10k would be a great achievement from $50 - I'm dreaming of getting to $1k!

Best of luck anyway and I'll try and follow your progress

Sounds a little manic to me. I would just focus on charting and playing good poker, the charting is great but I have seen this lead to insta tilt of full bankrolls a bout a hundred times.

I was expecting to see Boku87 here (you know.. the $100 to $10,000 in 15days on pokerstars). I wonder how that guy is doing now?

GL here with your quest!
