20x My Roll In 20 Days


Recommended Posts

I was going to write a few paragraphs about my story and why I wanted to try this but I'm lazy and want to get to the point. My online roll as of yesterday $34.82WSOP Circuit event is coming to Horseshoe Indiana at the end of the month and is putting on a $345 HORSE tourney. This has greatly spurred my interest into playing and I am wanting to get my buy in through some online winnings. I would love to get my online roll to about $500 so when I withdraw in a couple weeks, I'll still have some to play with online.Basically $34 into $500 in about 20 days. Suggestions on stakes or game selection....MTTs/SNGS/cash.....build a roll or slap it all down at once hoping for a blackjack?I'm only able to play a couple hours a night due to work. I'm most likely playin in the event anyway but am spurred on by a good challenge.

This is the best option.

Yeah, you know, this kind of falls under, "You can't get there from here."Just set aside the money IRL and keep playing online within your online roll and consider the two activities to be completely unrelated.

if you jump right into a .25/.50 limit game, get lucky, move up to .50/1 when you get to like 60 or 70, still get lucky, and move to 1/2 when you have like 150, you might be able to do it if you play like 20k hands between now and then.you mention its a horse tournament?if you can beat o8 and stud8 games you should play those.

I think it's possible, but unlikely. I play mostly for fun, but was able to get rakeback on Full Tilt a couple of weeks ago. So I deposited $60 on Sept. 25, started playing .50-1 LHE and some $5-6 multi table SNG's. Poor bankroll management obv, but I did it knowing I have the ability to deposit again if needed. Quickly worked it up over $150 and moved up to $1-2 LHE, mixing in some HORSE and RAZZ cash games. Worked my way up to about $300, and kind of leveled off for a few days.Yestereday was probably the best day of online poker I've ever had (cash games). When I woke up, I think my roll was about $290. Went I quit around midnight, I had $858. Part of the $$ came from the Loose Change Freeroll where I finished 12th for $125, but the rest was playing $2-4 LHE (HU and 6-max) and RAZZ. Yes, I know I'm playing out of my bankroll. I'm not a professional grinder, I play for fun and to run up the occasional roll and cash out to pay some bills. It may be unorthodox, but this year I am definitely in the black.Good luck OP...

Maybe try prostitution.
That is probably option #1 right now.
Invest in the stock market?
Do porn sites count?
Let me consult my "get rich quicktionary" here, hmmmmmm....... It seems the two best ideas are 1) sell drugs or 2) embezzel $$ from a company (although i don't advocate either)
Trying to sell my body first, I'm sure drugs will follow, they usually do. Hopefully within the 20 days.
Sit at a .25/.5 and just keep pushing all in every hand.
Thats why my roll is only $34.I'm purely a recreational player and just enjoy the challenge. I do well in SNGS and MTT's but don't really have the time to put in enough games until then. I'm really wanting to play this HORSE simply because there are NO razz or Stud8 games around. The only Stud games I've ever seen are either 1-5 spread limit or a 30-60 at the Horseshoe. O8 is spread once a week at my local casino and has very few customers. I just think this tourney will be a total donfest, especially here in the midwest where practically every casino spreads NLH and nothing else.

True, and this is a good point and what I have been doing the whole time previously with online and live. I really feel though, if I could pull this off, I would be freerolling and much more confident in the tournament and more likely to do well. That is pretty much the main reason for this goal.Split my $34 tonight onto two 25 holdem tables, one NL and other PL. Roll is now $60.43 after about two hours of playing. Even If I only score $25-26 a night for the next two weeks, I think I'll clear my goal.

Double your roll every night online for a year and forget about some moronic tournament.

i would play heads up horse SNG's maybe $5-$10 ones depending on how much gamble you got.
I think this is a really great idea and feel dumb for not thinking of it myself.Tonight I two tabled a full ring $25 and 6max NL for about 235 hands. Mostly grinded out and only got one big hand, AA all in pre vs. a TT and QJ for about a $40 pot. Ended the night up, roll now $108.48Does anyone think a better strategy would be to mix games or stick with this 25NL/PL as long as its running well? Stay away from 6max or more gamble the better?

stick with whatever works for you. I think you could make more cash faster playing six max, but you'd also have to fade the variance. I'm also a hoosier and am hoping I can convince the wife to let me play in the $345 O8 tournament on the 29th. Anyone wanna stake me? :club:

I'm too lazy to do the math but what about multi-tabling those double-or-nothings?With $34 you can start with three $10's, then keep moving up as you accumulate.

Explain this. Are you talking about the heads up micro tourney's with 4 or 16 people where a couple wins gets you the prize pool?Tried a heads up HORSE $5 to try it out and it is not like a regular HORSE game rotating every 8 hands. It is a SNG format where game switches every 15 minutes. The opponent was pretty donky and didn't last 5 minutes into the O8 round.Ran into a cooler last night with QQ vs. AA all in pre and lost a buy in at 6max. Tried a $25 PLO and also lost one buy in. Roll is back to around $60. Might try a few $5/$10 SNGS tonight along with switching back to full ring 25NL.
