Eeeee Rich I well remember the days in me last proper job - the dreaded monthly sales meetings when I'd be suddenly snapped out me reverie with the manager barking "Now then Butini, what ideas have yer got to boost next month's figures lad?"
Well luckily this time round our Mr Orford has come up with a cracker and I'll be more than happy to do my bit to help May's rake figures with my attempt to turn my hard earned £40 (approx) into a much more healthy looking £80 (approx)
well been running and playing awfully lately so taking a break, and this sounds a perfect chance to get back to winning ways great idea, well my bankroll has £32 left so i wont touch anymore of that and il turn the £32 into £65 starting may 1st
See everyone may 1st....4 days without poker thats going to be tough lol
This is a good idea. Give me something to aim for. Only play the small stakes in cash and dym. I'll have a go at doubling my bankroll to £70 by end of May. Gulp!
hiya Rich good luck with your challenge m8 i have a go will start with £100 as well tho at the moment am unable to play tables my computer is on last legs me mate is gonna have a look at it today & hopefully sort my memory problem out have been off-line since sunday tables just freeze up its very frustrating anyway am investing £300 into a laptop this week (winnings from pre-season footy bets) dtw
Ill be one of the micro stakes players your looking for, ill deposit £20 on may 1st, and my aim is simple to have more money than you by end of the month
I'll try and turn £67.50 into £192.50, at around 285% ROI
£67.50 gives me 30 buy-ins at £2.25 DYM level, I could have maybe gone for 20 at £45 but like the security of 30. If I run at 2-1 cash rate which is a tough target I'll make the £192.50 from 300 games, 300 games plus a few torunies gets me the £15 cash for points bonus which is also another aim.
If however If I only run at 60% cash rate I'll still make £45 at 66.7% ROI which is also great as with the bonus I'll have built up 18 BI's for £3.30 level.
After much deliberation I have decided on this personal Bankroll challenge.
£25.00 on the 1st May to be turned into £100 by the end of May.
The catch being for me is that I will try to achieve this through only low stakes cash games and on the Omaha tables! (DYM, SNG etc). As I do not venture onto either of these normally, this will definitely be a CHALLENGE!
Good Luck Rich - I hope it works out. Though we all know you will fail miserably (Hows that for a vote of confidence?) Joking as always. Posted by Cowgomoo
Lol- cheers Cow.
What about you though?
Fancy putting your money where your moooooooth is?
Hi Rich. Great idea! I'll accept your challenge and also give you the micro stakes player you mentioned. At the moment, there's a whopping £6.50 in my bankroll. I'll update the amount on May 1st, but I aim to reach £50.00 by May 31st, that's over 700% ROI. (To be honest, I'll be lucky if I make £6.51, but let's be positive!) I don't play cash, so it'll be done the hard way - playing 30p, 60p, £1.00 DYMs, freerolls and low stakes tournaments. It sounds even harder now I've said that, but let's give it a go!! Good luck to all. Graham Posted by Taller_Guy
Good luck Graham. 700% is a massive one and it doesn't matter if you're micro and mega-stakes. The challenge is the same. Respect.
£1 DYMs are surely off the menu though? You can't risk almost 20% of your roll at a time on one game! A run of six defeats- and believe me, it's possible :-( and you're wiped out!!!
From a low of £4.50 its taken me over a year to get £142 recreational play of micros and freerolls.This is all i have to play with cant reload.Sounds a little out of my league ill give it a miss. Posted by belsibub
Hi Belsibub- it's not out of your league at all mate. In fact, it sounds like you've been exercising excellent bankroll management for the past year.
if you fancy taking part, why not set aside say £10 and trying to get that up to £20 or £30.
Or- using your whole roll, but never risking more than 5% on one table, (even less in sngs and mtts) then aim to get up to say £170 by the end of the month.
Up to you- but as you'll see from some of the micro-stakes players on here- no-one's excluded from this challenge. You just fit it to your own circumstances.
I'll do the same as DOHHHHHHH and begin with £100 - was gonna start off with more but this will be more of a challenge - my aim will be the same as DOHHHHHHH in the ROI challenge Posted by dylan12
Nice one Dyl- there's a few of us starting on £100, so it will be easy to make comparisons between us. Although I suspect the likes of you and Dohhh are going to be putting in a lot more hours than me!
ill aim for £500 into £2000+ p.s. at the end of the month when we get our cash for points will the money we recieve count to our total BR? Posted by hurst05
Lol- nice try Jamie. But no counting the cash for points towards the total! Let's make it a pure bankroll challenge- or else they'll be some people counting the bonus and some who won't be. Besides, it comes in after May 31st and we'll all have 'declared' by then.
Think of it as an added extra on top of beating your challenge though.
