Christmas Challenge

Hey everyone!

Going to give this thread a good go and hopefully see it through mostly to give me some focus.

The Challenge

£5000 profit by Christmas starting this week.

Volume has been pretty low this month so this is an incentive to get grinding!

My biggest games are Cash, HU Sit and Go's and MTT's.

Love MTT's, cash for for dough and HU Sit and Go's are good fun and lowish variance.

Would love to get my sharkscope up to £5k by the end of the year (it's currently about 2.8k)

With Cash i'm going to make a big effort to improve my game over the next few months.

Will update regulary, wish me luck!

And if any micro player has any poker questions or strategy questions ask away!

    GL with this!

    Few questions... are you going for 5k net profit between now and xmas? if so what B/R are you starting with? or are you trying to get your roll to 5k? or just trying to get your Sharkscope to 5k?

    only reason i ask is because i was thinking of doing something similar

    anyway Good luck

    Hey Jordz thanks

    5k clear profit and hopefully this will include 2k or so from MTT/ HU Sit and Go's to get scope up to 5k.

    Good luck mate - particularly as you're one of the potentially bigger grinders on my team for Sky Premiership this week!

    Are you going in at one level of cash and building a roll from there, or just picking anything up to.... NL100?

    What do you see as the best methods / resources to improving your game (across all disciplines)?

    Posh just a short term goal, want to get it up to 10k at some point next year. If I play quite a lot of HU Sit and Go's should just be a gradual increase.

    Hey Shakin! Not even checked the promo yet lol Hopefully DTM's also in the team!:)

    Current bankroll is decent for 50nl, this month I didn't play much cash but when I did it was mostly 20nl, with a few games at 30-50nl. 

    Hard to say, but reckon I would get chewed up at 100nl in today's terms. My cash game is no where near good enough at the moment to play 100nl successfully. Going back  to Don's thread maybe it's psychological but I would imagine at 100nl it's far better than the current games I play. Good goal to aim for tho!

    I've found the best way to improve was stuff like posting hands in the clinic when I was starting out, and more recently having poker friends you can chat stuff over with, or get second opinions on hands. That's defo one of the best ways that has helped me improve as a player.

    Have a member ship on D/C as well from a few months ago, really will need to cancel it cause I'm hardly ever on there.

    There is loads of free videos on youtube to do with poker, which tbh are probably just as good as many of the videos on training websites.  

    Hopefully it will be Pudding:D and thanks:)

    Start a new diary. Immediately take down a Turbo Tuesday.

    Start another new diary. Immediately win a weekly DTD.

    You should consider starting new diaries more frequently...

    I was going to support this effort, but I don't think I can now.

    Shakin wee MTT bink would be nice and help things along nicely!

    Thanks IDCU and Ducky.

    Someone pointed out last night it's a big ask the target, which might be difficult giving volume I can put in. Maybe a bit ambitious but will see how it goes, some run good in MTT's would defo help along the way:)

    Also expecting a big grind in November and especially December when the tables are generally at their best.

    I will update once a month, first update will be at the end of September.
