BR: $10.48

Hi,
So, a few days ago, a few of you generous people shipped me a total of $3.5 on stars, with the challenge being to run it up to $100 in under a month. Well, here I am, at 3:44 AM, pumped up on cheap redbull imitation, in the middle of writing a paper about magnetic fields and whatnot. What better than play some micro-steaks poker? Anyway, here's my "plan"
screw that. I don't care about BRM, we'll see how that works out.

First screenshot:

I'll post the graph here whenever it's updated.

mm steaks.


i prefer big steaks tbh


vgl hope u make it! i managed to grind up from 27c to $2.41 playin .01/02 FL FR on stars but lost it in sng's -_- stick to the NL cash games


You could make way over $500 a month on stars micro SnG's, they are so lite its unbelievable. So I think it should be $1k in a month, as $100 is a little east IMO.

I'll be on holiday in under a week, so $1k in a month is totally possible ^^ I won't play SnG's though, I don't know squat about ICM etc


making 1K starting with 4.62 is gonna be hard unless you put in 5K hands/day
remember that guy who tired to make 10K in a month at 25NL playing 200K hands a week ?

or are you allowed to gambool ? :P
