spikymarv99 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have spoken to a few people (players new to the game) and finally decided last night to do a little quest. I will try to turn a $100 deposit into $5,000 within 1 month. I WILL NOT use my party poker or live bankroll to facilitate this little project. I have deposited $100 into poker333 (a prima skin); they offer $333.00 of deposit bonus (yes I will be a bonus whore to pad the mini-roll). Once I clear that bonus, I will deposit into another account and so on and so on until I have a workable roll. So far the progress is good... up $73.50 trying to grind out my deposit bonus in two hours. 1/2 is pretty soft :wink: My main purpose of doing this is to show my cousin and those who are new to the game that if you can play this game you can build up a pretty sizeable roll without much risk. Hope I don't fall flat on my face :oops: Link to post Share on other sites

HangukMiguk 8 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i dont want to be the one who says it, but someone is going to say it...ok, i'll say it...let us know when you go broke.seriously though, it's possible. people have done it before.but you fail to mention to these people that are new to the game that if they really have no clue about strategy and the like, then they're more likely to fall flat on their faces. takes a little more than just depositing $100 and sitting in. it takes some reading and some thought.so maybe i'm not saying the above to you, just whoever decides "i can do it without the knowledge."

spikymarv99 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 i dont want to be the one who says it' date=' but someone is going to say it...[/quote']I'm teaching my cousin how to play... he could have worst teachers. I am an experienced mid limit player (with alot to learn), but I think I can handle the lower limits as long as variance doesn't kick me in the nuts.I KNOW it will be hard, but the risk of ruin will be minimized (i think). These low limits games (1-2, 2-4, 4-8) seem VERY soft. And I'm hoping that even if I have a bad run, the deposit bonus will be my buffer. Him and his friends are so gung ho about playing poker and actually saved up a bunch of money to deposit using his mom's name (he's 14) :shock: . His birthday is in over a month and hopefully I can give him my account with $5,000 as a birthday gift. I'll probably only allow him to play micro limits until he gets better. Hey, if DN can have a protege, then why can't I?????????? :wink: Link to post Share on other sites

You would take money from a 14 year old... shame on you :evil: . He'll only be playing micro limits on PP (I transfered him 20 bucks) so he can learn with rest of the newbs.

Guest Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I listened to Chris Ferguson's podcast on FullTilt and he said about three years ago he turned $1 online into $20,000. Then again, he is Jesus.Best of luck. Link to post Share on other sites

spikymarv99 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 1/2 online sure is a different game. My biggest problem is putting people on hands. I don't want to go into the beats because I fully expected them at that level, but can anyone give me advice in that area. Another thing I quickly discovered is that people will not lay down second pair (how odd). The progress is slow.... up $89 after 6 hours of play, but I'm close to getting my first bonus of $111. Time to make some real money right now. Link to post Share on other sites

TheCinciKid 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey OP, I think the biggest problem with your plan is the timeframe. While turning $100 into $5k is very possible, I think doing it in a month is a little unrealistic. If you practice proper bankroll management, even at 2BB/100 you'll have to play a ****ton of hands to get there. Good Luck though. Link to post Share on other sites
KoRnholio 2 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Agreed.. But $100 into $1000 could be doable within a month at those limits. Link to post Share on other sites
matmaci 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 are you only playing limit cause that is what it sounds like. a friend put 50 dollars online and played sit and gos on party poker on my computer. We won a 5 then moved to a 10 then won that played a 20 came in 2nd played another 20 won that. basically within 5-6 hrs of us sitting here and going hand for hand and discussing decisions. we ran his 50 dollars up to a little over 600 in a few hours of playing strictly sit and gos.good luck with trying to turn it into 5k Link to post Share on other sites
