$100-$1000 Challenge Part Deux

Persistance is the hallmark of a champion! Not sure if i just made that up but it sounds like some intelligent advice. So i've decided to come back for a 2nd attempt at a $100-$1000 Bankroll building challenge (A La: Boku87).
His remarkable feat from a couple years ago now, saw him turn $100-$10,000 in 10 days, playing just micro stakes SnG's on Poker Stars. Never playing higher than $16. Boku is a beast and even with my finishing target at 1/10th of his ridiculous feat, it will still prove to be a very tough challenge for myself.... Last time i attempted $200-$2000 in 20 days, Unfortunately, I never seemed to gain traction last time, struggling with the $1 (45) mans. My strong point is 8-10 tables at once and from what I remember of the last challenge, i was attempting to push my normal 8-10 table limit to 15 tables. Since it was $1 games, i figured i could get away with it but the fact was, it was just too many tables. I ended up finishing the challenege right where it started virtually so to say it was a failure would be an understatement. That's alright with me though, this time shall be different. This time it will be $100-$1000 in 15 days, I must never go broke or the challenge is over. It will start today the 22nd of June, and my "D Day" will be July 6th at midnight. Between a friends b-day, my neices graduation and many other places i have to be over the next 2 weeks, this may prove to be impossible or close to it but I simply can't wait for a period where I have nothing going on because lets face it , it's the summer and everyone is crazy busy.

$200-$2000 Bankroll Building Project

DJOHNS04’s $200-$2000 (20 Day) Small Stakes SnG's Bankroll Boosting Challenge

The Goal: To turn a $200 starting bankroll on PokerStars into $2000 over a 20 day period playing micro to low stakes SnG’s. This will be done using Jennifear’s bankroll management guide found here - http://www.pocketfives.com/blogs/jennifear

I will be allowed to play any SnG game provided I’m using the correct bankroll management. I generally don’t play more than 12 games at once although I’m not going to restrict myself to a limit. I will be playing 8-12 games at once more often than not. I will not be playing any other type of game on Stars during the 20 day period. This is basically a mini version of Boku87’s famous challenge where he turned $100 into $10,000 in 15 days. I will be allowed to play 180 man SnG’s where I believe Boku limited himself to 45 mans as the biggest field. I’m also going to need 5 more days to win 1/5th the money but hey, we all start somewhere right? This would be a huge accomplishment for myself and who knows, maybe it ends up being the 1st of many challenges.

Challenge Date: Tuesday Aug 10th – Sunday Aug 29th

Tuesday August 10th.10 - Day 1

As i type this, it's Monday evening and i'm preparing for my 1st organized poker challenge. I've had problems in the past sticking to plans, not only with poker but in life. I think having a blog will really motivate me to stay on track towards all of my lofty goals. Here is the plan for Day 1:

$1.10 (45 Person) turbos to start but hopefully moving to the $3.40 (10 Person) turbos when i've reached the $215 level.
I will keep the blog updated throughout the 20 days

Anyways, i'm off to get some dinner but as soon as midnight hits, i will be off and running!

Wednesday August 11th.10 - Day 2
It is the end of the second day and after 138 SnG's, mostly $1 45 mans with the odd $1 90 man thrown in, i'm up a measley ten spot. Ten bucks, could be worse right? well.. how about 10 cents profit ? getting there ? I think i'm going to pass on calculating my hourly rate.

 Lets just say some poor early play on Tuesday combined with some terrible run bad today has kind of kept me on that hamster wheel. I'm also stacking and cascading for the first time which is totally new to me. I've done it the odd time before but never 10+ tables. I'm sure thats having an effect but there's no better place to learn then $1 SnG's so it's not all bad. Just lost 2 days but that's okay, i'm just getting warmed up!! Now it's.... djohns04 stars in.. $1999.90 in 18 !!
