Title: 1k to 10k in 100 days
Post by: Paul Walters on February 07, 2013, 07:06:23 PM


About me
Hi am a 22yr old civil Eng. student at Liverpool uni in my 3rd of 4yrs at uni. Also from Liverpool and Liverpool fan.
Played poker for a 2 ½ yrs and play mostly HU cash 50/100/200nl taken a few shots at 2/4 had mixed results over about 10k hands,  Played about 400k cash hands total with a win rate of 10bb/100 and been staked for a large % of that now am going to alone.
The challenge to turn 1k into 10k in 100 day; I think it’s very achievable, I think if I run dead average it will take about 120 days but I plan on running good so I get there.  I plan on having a very aggressive bankroll strategy and bum hunt hard when taking shots, once I get 35/40 buy ins at a level ill game select a lot less and only quit when I feel tilty or getting my arse owned. Whether I achieve this will largely be down to how quickly I get a 4k ish roll and can play 200nl. Hopefully I can achieve this put a decent grind in although I won’t let it get it the way of uni hopefully.
I’ll be playing mainly HU cash with a bit of 6max and odd mtt thrown in there to keep me entertained, 

i aim to provide regular update and post the odd hand
i willl start on monday 11 feb and end on Wednesday, May 22,

Good luck! If you got to 10k what would be the plan from there I always find these challenges interesting! What makes you think you can succeed?

hi thanks for good luck messages
The sites ill be playing on will be pkr,fulltilt and i poker. ill just play pkr and fulltilt till i get to a 2k roll. Probly play party as well once roll grows.
Plan if i get to 10k would be to try and break through the 2/4 barrier. Not too sure what the difference in standard at 6max and fullring is, but HU there little difference between 50nl and 200nl then the game really dries up at 2/4.

Thats 8.5 profit then 500 rakeback or something like that would get me there.

Agreed that binking mtts is cheating really so ill start with posten a graph of where i am now, just cash, will post the graph later today.
and then ill update with a graph atleast once per week.
might cheat slightly and skip out playing 50nl and its about as much fun as sticking needles in yours eyes.
