Official No-Limit OIC + Rules! - Start with $25

[Blackjack]

I saw how much of a success the small stakes OIC was and decided to try it myself playing no limit. I know the variance will be killer, but using the ruleset, you'll at least have 2 buy-ins for every level.

Ultimate Goal is to sit to Mahatma's left and have him double me up!

Starting Buyin: 25$
Move a level up after winning 200bb
Move down a level if you lose 100bb (not PT bb)

.1/.25 Move up after winning $50 etc...
.25/.50 Move up after winning $100
1/2 Move up after winning $200
2/4 Move up after winning $800
3/6 Move up after winning $1200
5/10 Move up after winning $2000
10/20 or 10/25

Final Step: 10/25 on UB or 20,000 hands or bust. Whatever happens first.

If you complete the challenge, you'll end up with a nice 8k score.
Ideally if a few 2+2ers hit a hot streak, it'll give them the BR and confidence to play fulltime at 2/4 or so.


GL to all that choose to have some fun and hopefully not lose $25.

I'm already down to $15 when I hit my flush on the turn and had to fold when the river brought a 4th spade WAHHH

Just like the Original Small Stakes OIC, post results and progress if you choose to enter.

You said two buy-ins / level, so I started with $50.

Of course I'll end up two-tabling the earlier levels anyway...

But, it's late (early?) and I'm bored, so wish me luck and good luck to anyone else who is in.

PS: I play limit almost exclusively, so I figure this is a good chance to work on some post-flop play and maybe check out some high stakes NL games too.

let me be the first to say:

"im out"

sounds like a good way to start a Monday... I just sat down at a $25NL on Party, so I guess I'm in.

Can someone clarify the one buyin/two buyins thing?

[jman220]

This sounds like fun, what do you mean by "not pt bb's" do you mean that the bb is not 2x the big blind? What is it then? Thanks.

[modaddy]

I just realized that Party has $25 buyin for .10/.25, but UB has $10 buyin... can I do this on Party? If yes, should I sit down with $10 (ugh) or just take one buyin and try to double it?

i never understood the purpose of these things. sounds like it will do more harm than good to any player who plays it.

Tried this last week and it didn't work out too well for me to say the least. When I was down to my last buy-in on the 25NL tables I ran into a set, and then 3 hands later lost my last 24 on set over set.
Oh well.

So, Since I saw this posted I thought I'd do it again with a group of people.
So, been playing a little before work today and was up and down until I played this hand.

Called small raise with 44, flop comes out A23 rainbow.
I call another small raise just to see if i can hit the straight.
I hit a 4 on the turn and raised when bet into.
On the river the 2 pairs and I bet out, he puts me all in and I call.
He has Pocket Aces and has a much bigger boat.

Played a bit after that and caught a few straights for small pots and after 126 hands I'm happy to be down less than 9 bucks.
