snooptodd 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 DN, I think you could make it happen, but the one thing I think will keep you from making it is boredom. You're a busy guy, and when you get some free time, I'm not sure you're going to want to spend it grinding away at a $.05-$.10 table. Yeah, it can be fun to run your bankroll up a HUGE percentage in the beginning and ignore the money totals, but when things slow down and you're just grinding, it becomes a lot more work, and takes a lot more time.I wish you the best of luck, but think this will be tough to accomplish in three years time.

Solar 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The best way to avoid these players is to sort your tables by the tightest possible. Thats where the "normal" people play, those who actually understand the game and play the strength of their hands more than the luck of the draw. If your table is 25% VPIP or higher, either leave or just pray to god your AA hold up when it comes time. Ell oh ell Link to post Share on other sites

Timinator99 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Graphical illustration on Daniel's progress! Last drawdown spoiled the whole picture a bit but that things sometimes happen in poker:) Would be nice to know how the last hand developed (-10$ hand)GoldFinger, nice graphs. Would like to see the distribution one in terms of BB (Big Blinds) rather than $'s though. Would make much more sense as well once you start mixing in results from different levels.

Would make much more sense as well once you start mixing in results from different levels.Good point! It was OK while Daniel was grinding at 0.01/0.02 level but lately volatility in $ terms picked up quite significantly because of higher blinds. Wanted to adjust for that but was too lazy. Thanks for reminding me that! Link to post Share on other sites

goldfinger228 0 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm loving the graphs bro, thanks for doing them!Well, I thought it would be nice to have some kind of graphs to make this whole thing more fun to follow. I had an Excel file file for my own results, now I have two files and feel motivated enough to keep updating the data until you reach 100k or 0 (I hope the former). Just one week before you announced your 100k challenge I came across an article on Chris Ferguson's 0-10K project and thought that it's probably more interesting that High Stakes poker (which also is very nice), because it involves limits where ordinary "mortals" play. I understand why you started with 10$ as it took poor Jesus 7 months to get to 6.5$ (see the attachment). That's way too slow! So I wish you good luck and a lot of energy to fight random goofiness! Hope your Mom recovers soon because moms are very important!Cheers,N. Link to post Share on other sites

howdog77 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Good luck Daniel, what is your screen name on Stars and when do you play? Just wanted to watch you progress through the rankings. Link to post Share on other sites
javi 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 His screename is KidPoker, you can find him easily by using the "find team pokerstars pro" feature, and according to him he usually plays around 11pm PST. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDonk1989 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Keep at it Dan, your just running bad right now. You should jump back down to 5nl until you get it back to $50 again. Good Luck!Does anyone wanna track my bankroll? Check it out here:$50 to $1,000 Link to post Share on other sites
javi 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 woa woa woa, I was reading 2p2 today and think i stumbled across a facet of this challenge I was not aware of. Apparently, daniel will never move down in limits? So for instance, if he has $1000 BR and is playing 1/2, and loses a stack, he will just rebuy for 1/5 of his roll, $160? And if he loses 2 stacks, he buys in for $120? But NEVER drops limits? Hmmm..... Link to post Share on other sites

I know when I'm running badly I don't feel like playing too.I was looking at his schedule on myspace and it looks like he's just swamped with events right now. He's playing in some live tourney like every single day for the next 3 months lol. Link to post Share on other sites

ashagreyjoy 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 His last 3 or so losing sessions was right in the middle of dealing with his mom as well so chances are he was a little preoccupied to play his absolute A game. Link to post Share on other sites

If he "tee's it up" (so to speak) he is in there to play his best no matter what -- he's not going to half ass it. It's either play great poker or no poker. 'Do or do not -- there is no try.' Thats just part of what makes him such a phenomenal player.On another note: Best wishes to you and your family Daniel, we're all praying for a speedy recovery! Link to post Share on other sites
