New project with price

On the start of November 1st I will start my new project which is the following.

I'm going to limit myself to only have a bankroll of $50 and play MTT SNG's over at Stars aswell as MTT's. I will do this for a month starting on November 1 and ending on December 1.

I will start with the $1,50+0,25 Turbos and for each time I have 50x buyin I will move up a notch.

The reason behind this project is to see how far I can take $50 within a month. My goal will be to reach the 20+2 SNG's which would mean a bankroll off $1000 which won't be impossible.

So please take your guesses and the one that guess right on how much my bankroll will be by December 1st will get 20% of the bankroll. It can either be very much, somewhat ok money or nothing at all.

I hope this isn't OT, in which case I am really sorry but this is the forum I am the most active in and post the most.

I will keep live updates over on my blog:

EDIT: The cash will be sent to your pokerstars account or neteller. No other way is possible.

Free money?

I'll say you'll be at 650 on Dec. 1st


Gooooood luck.

(and ill add your blog to the list of ones i check when the MTT forum gets slow)

I don't see how you can do this unless you're playing full-time and then why would you want to play at that level?

I'll say 387 dollars.

I am playing fulltime since I am unemployed atm. It's a fun challenge that I will take really serious upon just like I do with all challenges. 20+2 may be hard but it can happen...

edit: after thinking about this, I change my mind. $550

[mshalen]

$732 The low limit SNGs have a huge ROI so you should be able to move up to the $5 quickly. The $20 may be hard to accomplish in 30 days but if you have the time then possible. Good luck.

[KneeCo]

Cool idea, I'll be checking out your blog a lot, I love these 'challenges'.

Assuming you never break the 50 buy-in rule 1000$ might be tricky unless you decide sleep is for the week.

I'll guess 428$.

Hope you prove me wrong though.

[Melchiades]

740

I'll guess high, since the reward is larger if I'm right. Might as well shoot the moon: my guess is a cool 1100. Best of luck.

[Jurollo]

You'll bust. I wont even get anything for being correct either!

[Skipbidder]

$746.

I predict that you will get very bored playing so low.

[Nikanoru]

2222

[CieloAzor]

I hope we don't have to guess it exactly.

$429.

955

I had a similiar type thing going ive got my BR to 5.5x what i started with and its stalling now but im only 2 weeks in, assuming I am just running bad as i was once @ 10x and stabalized, I am going to say you manage to get it to 818$.

Gonna be hard to step it up, it gets SUPER boring playin the
micro tables and often enough I have gotten victimized by opponents playing poorly(imo) and catching everything.

Then again i dont consider myself lucky....

[Melchiades]

I put in $70 in the end of july and have built my bankroll exactly this way. Would have probably had 800'ish today, but I won a $30 MTT that I had no buisness being in a couple of weeks ago, so my roll is a bit bigger. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[m1illion]

$375

Hehe yea but I once built my bankroll from these $1,5+0,25 SNG over at Stars the same way but with 30$ instead when I first started playing there. I am pretty used the standard in the low buyin ones so I have some great thought for this project.

[zoobird]

robz0r - I played against you a few days ago in a .50+.10 at Absolute Poker. Contributed .50 to your little project I think (you were chip leader when I busted anyway). I think I was sitting just to your left.

[zoobird]

These guys are nuts...no faith in Heaven. I say you're going to end up at $3,000. And when you do, my bankroll will have an even greater percentage gain...from $0 to $600. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

P.S. When is the last time we can change our guesses.

[X-Man]

What level do you normally play? I am by no means a high stakes player,usually $11's and $22's and I have had the odd low limit game and find it hard to take the $5 games seriously let alone the $1's,but all the best anyway...and I say $868...

Hehe.

The last day will be the day before 1st of November. I have no idea if there are 30 or 31 days in October but yea, the day before 1st of November.

[ChrisGSmyth]

I guess $486

Good Luck

I play everything that is up and running. Not over $200 buyin though unless I win a satellite.

[JonLines]

$2000, not worth having a cut of anything else, gl mate

[BrettP217]

Ill say 1400

good luck

[GutPunch]

$600

This post alone made this thread worth reading!!! Had a great laugh at this thanks! As a UW-Madison guy I KNOW Oct has 31 days because of the crazy Halloween party that takes place here... if you don't know what I'm talking about get to Madison this Saturday for the craziest party of the year!

Ok that was a little OT... I'm gonna through out a healthy guess of $2138.20... Is this like price is right(closest without going over)? GL to ya... I love following these and will have to bookmark your blog.

[jusander]

Okay, My guess is 894$, and GL!

I guess $1000

$987

[zoobird]

Good question. Do we have to hit it exactly? Is it whoever gets closest? Whoever gets closest without going over?

$897

775$

[Autocratic]

$800

$679

Good luck.

[Roman]

1385

[yabastid]

637

[jwvdcw]

$489

It's whoever gets closest. It can go over your amount and you will win aslong as noone else is closer. If two people are equally close, it will be a tie resulting in 10% to one and 10% to the other.

Heaven, what time do you normally play on PStars? I take it your screen name is "heaven".

[Arnfinn Madsen]

GL!
This is a bit either/or, if you make it to 5 quickly and you are a winning player there, you can go far. I guess $1760.

Nah it's Nacaa. I have no idea why I used Heaven as a screenname here since I use Nacaa for everything. I use the Duffy Duck avatar there too tho.

I usually play between 04:00 - 22:00ET. Of course, never whole 14 hour sessions but around 6-7 hours. It's pretty random. I'm busy atm playing some of my home friends in Heads Up matches live now until 1st of November.

[GrinningBuddha]

I'm going to give you one big score and one decent score in the MTTs, with the SnGs giving you some basic income. If you get a top 5 in a $3, you should make about $500, and then another $200 score as well brings us to about $924. Best of luck!

Gonna have to say 420

[SumZero]

I think most likely is probably $0, but that isn't my guess.

Highest EV pick is 1049.50 and that's my pick.

[AlphaWice]

2500

[ptmusic]

$5,500

Good luck Heaven!

Thanks. Going to start now. My internet have been dead for about 6 days now so I got lucky to get it back up running today.

[schwza]

696.9 gl!

[BAK]

I realize it is not the day before Nov. 1st, but I just saw this. Good luck!!

My guess is 850, in case you are allowing for late entries.

[ClaytonN]

1,425

[Vavavoom]

Dec 1st = $ 876

[Emmitt2222]

$1222

Best of luck.

[AceofSpades]

I'd say $840

$2001

I have faith in you son.

[1Winston]

$574.... best of luck.

Guys... I have a sad announcement to make which really is a big letdown for myself.

My computer crashes now each day (I posted about this the first day in my blog IIRC) and today it crashed again. Don't even know for sure if I will be able to write this message before it crash again /images/graemlins/tongue.gif so I will be going out in stores the next week to buy a new one so this will unfortunately put this little project to an stop. I am really sorry for this guys since I have gotten a nice start with some 3 ITM's plus the ITM from the Nordic PCA and some nice results from 5+0,5 and 1,25+0,5 SNG's at Stars. But this computer problem will keep at playing the most at friends house which will be limited to one tournament a day at best so you see this will not work out.

For those interested, my BR got up to 156$ and it could have been even larger if it wasnt for a few deep bustouts where I was a huge favoirte. AA vs A6 comes to mind... grr... Anyway, the price won't be out since it wouldn't seem fair to the rest of you guys but I will do this sometime later on with the same lists so keep your eyes open /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Anyways, thanks for having the great believe in me for turning 50 into 5000. Hehe
