Just thought I'd say hi - finished my banking internship and turned down the €120k job offer that came afterwards to instead go back to uni. Just figured that I'd much rather live a life rather than live a job (never left the office before midnight during said internship, something like 15h/day, so noooo fun, really) Anyway, moved into my new room in London yesterday, very luxurious 8sqm + en-suite bathroom of some sort. Funnily enough, I was still happy I made that trade for uni vs job. Among lots of other good things about choosing not to become an investment banker is also the fact that I will now again have lots of spare time on my hands (until uni starts next week, when things might suddenly change again), and will probably spend a lot more time on the forum than over the last few months. So hi again, everyone Wink

Also started playing poker again, which I hadn't done this summer at all (except for perhaps 10 20-seaters at party) and opened up bpl earlier on, to find a beautiful $1 sitting in my account. Had managed to donk off most of my (luckily rather small) blonde roll at some point in may and hadn't touched the site since then. Anyway, decided to set myself the challenge of turning that $1 into a decent bankroll again. To make things more fun, I've figured I (well, we) could turn this into a bit of a competition if anyone's up for it:

Starting bankroll: $1.00
Where: BPL
When: From now until say next Sunday, 8pm
Who: Anyone willing to venture down to the $0.02-$0.04 ring games

Hmm, suppose this will have to be a trust-based, unless anyone interested has a better suggestion. Well, let me know what you think and if anyone's up for it, let me know, then we can use this thread or a new one to keep track of results on a regular basis? Oh, don't remember who it was, but wasn't there some pro who turned $1 into $200,000 ? Think we should aim at something in that region, no?!

Wasn't that much about the job/uni question, more a decision about what I want to do in my life .. and overly paid investment banking just doesn't seem as appealing as horribly paid human rights work for some mysterious reason..
congratulations on 10 years of uni! I'm starting year 4 now, not sure if I'll quite manage to keep it with you..

Good luck mate.  I have just left Uni, well taken a year out.  I hated it and needed a break .

By the way it was Chris Jesus Ferguson that turned $1 into $20,000

Cool, that makes two then. Sark, how about you? I'm up to almost $3, will call it quits at $5 tonight, so if anyone wants to join there isn't too much to catch up.

$1 Challenge Update

Poppet: 0.99
Sark79: 0.97
Moritzey: 1.40
MikkyT: 819.30
Flushy: 14,999.15

MikkyT and Flushy may be barred from the contest, though. The jury believes they may have been cheating by starting with more than $1. The decision is currently being reviewed.
