Hello everybody.
In this blog I will document my progress of climbing up the limits. I will start at the 7$ HU SNGS and my longterm goal is beating the 100$ HU SNGs. I will play the turbo version on Pokerstars.
About me
I am a 23 year old computer science student from Germany. In my poker career I played NL up to 0.5/1, FL up to 2/4, PLO up to 0.25/.50 ,FR SNGs up to 15$. I started in 2008 with the 50$ from Pokerstrategy and i made some good money. But at the moment I am always bored when playing NL or PLO ... and when I am getting bored I don't play good. I don't really have the motivation to improve my 6max game. So I thought about what could be a good way to start something new and I came up with this idea.
The challenge
I cashes out everything but 210$. This are 30 buyins for the 7$ HUs. And that's where I will start. I will use the 30 buyin rule as a brm. So I will move up a limit as soon as I have 30 buyins for that limit. I have to step one limit down if I only have 30 buyins left for the lower limit. The goal is to get a 3000$ bankroll to play the 100$ SNGs.
Why HU SNGs?
HU SNGs are challenging. This is 1 vs 1. Man against man. I like this format.
I don't need such a tight bankroll management and the profit I can make are big in comparison to my bankroll.
I will update this blog whenever I think I have something to say. I don't want it to be a "I lost 3 buyins today but only 1 buyin under ev" kind of blog. I will post graphs and interesting hands and some thoughts on the limit and on strategy. If you are playing on the same limits or also want to move up and want to talk about strategy or hands then you can just post here or just add me on skype: ursusmm. Maybe somebody who wants to take the same challenge is out there.
Ok this was my first post and I want to end this with a great song:
