looshle 6 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I was looking around the board today and though to myself, "You know what this board needs? Someone to start a thread on their progress to a certain amount of money." So then I said, why not $5,000! Lol!!I saw this Smashaoo guy do it and he's sooooo cool so I said I wanna be like him!GOALTo be as unoriginal as possible, while at the same time cluttering the boards and forcing myself to the center or attention. Oh, and 5000 DOLLARS!!!Day 1 The beginning of the bestest sprint/race/quest/blog to $5,000 EVERSo I deposited $100 into my Pacific Poker account and figure I'd start off @ 5/10 and work my way up."But Looshle, that's only 10X the big bet!!"Of course it is! This is a SPRINT to $5k. Jesus! This isn't a powerwalk or even a gallop to $5k, read the title! I'll be updating my post everyday so make sure you make it a routine and check in every day, just like you go to bed, take a shower, and check the 15 other "races" . I use the term race loosely, because I'm the only one @ a mad dash!! Woot! Lolzzzzzz Link to post Share on other sites

This is a SPRINT to $5k. Jesus! This isn't a powerwalk or even a gallop to $5k, read the title!lol - I was wondering about all this too. WTF is up with all these people and getting to $5000?

looshle 6 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 played only 18 hands in one day,,,, what a "sprint"I doubled my bankroll in 1 day. You can say its bad bankroll management coupled with extreme short term variance, I say it's the fastest sprint since OJ was tearing down the highway in his bronco! Productive day for me! :-) Link to post Share on other sites

It may be comical to you but I think hard work, dedication, and proving myself to be a source of ultimate poker knowledge extremely low on the humor scale. Link to post Share on other sites

looshle 6 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Guys, I don't think you're taking my cutting edge experiment/quest/poker extravaganza as seriously as you should be.I see everyone replying to KDawgs, JustBlazes, wrto's races, as well as a few others, but look @ the first day results I've had and try to see how my sprint is going to help newbie players as well as change limit poker for the better. Geeze. Maybe day 2 will open your eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
