View Full Version : How long will he take?

There is a german guy who wants to put 1$ on an account and play until he has 10k$. His Blog can be found at itisnotluck.blogspot.com (http://itisnotluck.blogspot.com).

I asked him how long he is going to play per day and how good he is just to help him to get an estimate on how long it will take.

He says he is going to play around 2h/d and at the 5-50$ Dollar STT he plays with an ITM of 45%-37% with an ROI ranging from 30%-10%.

He is starting before the 15th of Oktober.

Ich behalte, aus gesaugt zu werden, wird es ewig nehmen, diesen verdammten Dollar in zehntausend zu drehen.

Could take a fair while, it's do-able though.

Did you really use the altavista babelfish to suppose you speak this damn language?

In England we call this a joke, my German is worse than my French which is very, very, very bad. So yes I used a translation tool, the idea being you can tell if you speak German at all. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Based on this, he'll never get there.

Awhile back i had to cash out almost all of my poker winnings and left on 50$ in PS then i went on a bad run and was down to 3$ i i entered a 3$ tourney and turned it into 15$ then won a few S &Gs and cash games and had it up to over 200$ Then started bonus whoring and got my bank roll up to over 1200 in about 4 months. So at that rate i think it would take about a year depending on how good he was and if he was good enough to play high limits and win.

i'm presently on month 10 from starting with a dollar borrowed from a friend. took a while to get enough to start to have enought think about bonuses and haven't done any real major whoring yet. i'm at 1500, so i can say this guy is gonna be playing for a while.

I would gladly take a bet that I could turn $10 in $50K in 3 months given the proper incentive.

It'd have to be pretty proper though.

I'd have to know this guys track record though to make a decent judgement on his chances, but I;m guessing not good.
