thebottomline 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have other disadvantages of working a full-time job and playing on six sports teams (three basketball, two softball, one baseball) and rebooting my rap career, but I am looking to take this challenge on more for the discipline that I will have to show then the reality of hitting $200k in two months. Of course it's nearly impossible that either of us reaches $200k but we have a friendly challenge as to who will make more: the online player or the live cash game player.You do realise it's 20k, not 200k, right?

pocket_change 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You do realise it's 20k, not 200k, right?Good point bottomline. I think I may have an advantage now. For some reason with the larger online tournaments, etc. I feel like it's an advantage to hit the big score through a poker site but I believe it's feasible to grind my way to 20k in two months. My max before was an 8k month but I never jumped limits, I just stayed at the 200 NL game. We'll see. I guess 20k is possible. Link to post Share on other sites

If poker was as easy as so many amatuers think they'd go pro. Buddy, if you could have got NEAR 20k (let alone 200k) playing PART TIME, with all your other things, you should go pro. 120k a year PART TIME is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites

Played terrible. Got stacked 3 times, twice when I had basically nothing, once on a monster draw where I was sure the guy had AA and wouldn't fold anyway. So dumb. I sucked today bad.Day 30: Up $1000 playing 3/6, 3 tables for about 2 hours. Played poorly early, and ok late. Was down $1500 at one point, eek'd my way back to even, and then the hand below came up... smile.gifDay 31: Down $450. Played a quick morning session and a quick evening session.

(only 3 tables of 3/6NL running this morning, and all had lists. wtf everyone asleep?) Flying home, so won't be on anymore todayDay 36: Down $1400. OMG tilted so bad tonight. I can barely type this report I'm still so tilty. I hate passive donkeys is all I can say. I played so bad too. I was up $1000 at one point today. Ugh.Day 37: Even. Played about 5 hours. Lost a ton in the morning, still tilting/playing poorly. Played a little better this evening, got it all back. I'm getting worried about meeting my goal. I'm super busy this week. I just canceled a homegame tourney I was supposed to be in Saturday night because I think I might need the time to play... smile.gifDay 38: Down $750. Logged about 5 hours today. Down a ton this morning, up a ton tonight. Stacked off 150bb's with AK pf, which was just so horrible. I dunno. Frustrated. There is still hope though...3 more days...Day 39: Down $2000. Played really well I think, just lots of ugly rivers. (see the posts above this one) Oh well. Happy that I'm back to playing my A game. Friday and Saturday will be good I think!Day 40: Up $800. Played well again. Dropped down to 2/4NL after more horrible runs this morning at 3/6NL. But I'm happy again with how I'm playing. Friday was good. Saturday will be better! I just need a $4500 day, and I can probably get a good 7 hours total in. So you know, we'll see!Day 41: Up $600. Played about 7 hours today. Couldn't really get anything going. But at least I booked a win on the final day, so I"m going to finish happy. Now that the challenge is over, I fully expect to hit $25K in like 3 hours lol smile.gifHere is some info on the 40 days:Played 22K hands at 3/6NL, 208 table hours, my ptbb/100 was 7.66. VPIP 19.73, earned $20,381Played 3K hands at 2/4NL, 28 table hours, ptbb/100 was 1.9. VPIP 22.85, earned $485 (these were mostly 'recovering from tilt' sessions thus the reason for how poorly I played.Played 200 hands at 1/2NL, 2 table hours, ptbb/100 was 18, made $145. This was just me sitting with a friend for a while.Played 6 hands at .5/1NL. Shoved every hand. VPIP = 100 smile.gif Lost $100.I made Goldstar then PlatinumStar on Stars, and earned around 30K FPPs.My top 5 winning hands in order:AA: $9800KK: $8000AKo: $550077: $2800JJ: $2500My biggest losers:22: ($1100)98o: ($1000)QJs: ($1000)QTo: ($950)98s: ($930)Players who I pwned the most:MT UR Wallet, schreech, the__whale4, Dirty-Bomb, b33nz, and UnsyatisfiedPlayers who pwned me:running solo, LanderD, wellPRAYED7, Alotofaction, Sleepy80 (because he 2 outered me for a $2K pot which would have ended this challenge 2 weeks ago grr....)So my final total is:Current balance: $21,090.82I had a lot of fun doing this, and think that it has definitely helped me to be more focused in playing daily and not just making what I need for the month and goofing off. Its been great having everyone checking in on me and supporting me too. I'll do some kind of freeroll as a thankyou sometime soon.Mark Link to post Share on other sites
pocket_change 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Mark: Thanks for the reply, those are some sick numbers. I don't expect to fair that well, especially since I'm playing live and won't see nearly as many hands. Congrats on that 40-day profit.

custom36 4 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Here you go fellas: http://www.myspace.com/206changeall chuckles welcome.I don't like the beat on the first track.The second one isn't good.

stevielarson 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ok I am in for this challenge. My goal is to make it to 20k but the real purpose of this challenge will be just to focus on my game and quality play, similar to what NoSup's thinking with his.I plan to start with $165 (50 buyins at 3.25) and play exclusively SNGs and MTTs. The goal is to have 50 buyins for every tournament I play. The exception will be I might play some bigger buyin events if I can sattallite in provided the sat is within my bankroll. Basically I am treating this as a new start. I plan to start new spreadsheets and PT databases and really work to improve my game over the summer. Im hoping I can put in enough hours though. I am a pro cyclist so I am on the road alot but we usually have internet. The advantage of this is that I really have a ton of free time during the days.Good luck to the others. Ill have my blog up in the next day or so. Link to post Share on other sites

WolfRoxe 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'm broke ATM but plan on starting a personal challenge next Thursday (when I get my first paycheck LOL). I'll probably be aiming for much less (say, 100 - 5k). Its mostly just to prove to myself that I can make money at this, and hopefully learn some bankroll management along the way.

Jujoki3 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't see anyone turning 100 to 20000 or even 10000 just by playing SnGs. If you really want to make decent money, i say just learn cash game or start playing mtts and hope u run gooot. Link to post Share on other sites
TR1N1TY 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Exodon't listen to any of these math head Sklansky wannabee micro n00bz who have balls the size of cranberries telling you what you CAN'T do. $100 to 20K is do-able in 2 months if not less. But I will say that grinding $5.00 SnG's and stepping up adhering to the 'Jesus Principle' will not meet your deadline.There are going to be times that you are running hot, playing well and 'in the zone' so to speak. This is exactly when you should push it and step up in limits and throw bankroll management in the fk'n toilet. Ive run 200 bucks into over 5K in a single session just playing out of my mind and without a shred of fear when I knew I was playing my A game.As far as all jerkoffs trying to bring you down and warning you how quickly you are going to fail....well these are the same losers who spend months and months and months to double their puny rolls grinding out penny limit games without ever having the cahones to take a shot. I guess some people are content with mediocrity.I say good luck and make it happen bro.
