Introduction
Hi guys, just a little bit about myself - I'm in my mid twenties and just recently graduated from university. I started picking up poker about a month ago when PokerTube videos kept appearing on my news feed (but somehow they just love showing Phil Helmuth ugh!).
Aim of Blog (and my game)
The aim of this blog is to join the Get Rich or Die Trying bankroll challenge! It's gonna be a steep hill climb given my lack of knowledge, and my small bankroll! To me, increasing my skills to the best I can is my main target, while increasing BR is just a necessity to achieve this goal. I will not stop at a certain stake just because it is the most profitable, but instead, I will keep challenging myself to go up once my BR is sufficient.
My Bankroll
Initial Bankroll: $28 (30 May 2016)
Target Bankroll: $1000
My Method
Given my lack of bankroll, I will be grinding STT SNGs as it is the only game which I can ride through the variance. I'll play the occasional cash games, and whatever freeroll tournaments I can get. Once my BR is sufficient, I will switch my focus to split between NLHE and SNGs.
While I have sufficient BR to play 40c SNGs, I'm pushing myself to play at least 50 10c SNGs to fix my major leaks. I'm playing them one at a time, 5 games per session, 2 sessions a day. Hence, each session takes me about 2.5-3 hours to complete, excluding the review. Currently, I've played 40 of them, with a ROI of 40%. I know it's inaccurate, but at least it is encouraging ♦ There's 60 more to go, so it'll take me another 6 days to complete.
Personal Milestones
$1,000 is a super long way to guy, required me to double my bankroll.. 5 times! In order to keep myself motivated, I have created my own milestones. The targeted period takes into account my current pace and time when I'll be away.
Milestones
$50 - Target: 1 week
$100 - ?
$200 - ?
$400 - ?
$700 - ?
$1000 - ?
That's all folks, and all the best to me!
