My personal OIC shot challenge

[ClaytonN]

Okay, time for a new challenge!

When the summer starts, I will have an adequate bankroll for multi-tabling 1/2 with GameTime+ on my new laptop on Empire Poker before college starts in the fall.

However, I'd like to start at a higher level than that this summer. So, for the next 2 months, I'm gonna try and build a bankroll from .5/1 to hopefully at least 3/6 or higher.

Here is how I will do it:

.5/1 - Start at $100, end at $200
1/2 - Start at $200, end at $400
2/4 - Start at $400, end at $800
3/6 - Start at $800, end at $1600

Should I ever hit a low level, I will drop down. I'll document my progress daily in this thread. We'll see how things go from there.

Currently my bankroll is around $1000. Ideally I'd like to get that up to around $2000, maybe $2500. I don't know what I'm capable of, so this is why I'm doing this.

Wish me luck.

Good luck dude.

Switch to PV. I used to use GT+ and PV >>>>> GT+.

Also, what is OIC? "Open Internet Challenge"?

Have you ever played 1/2 before? If your goal is just to double your money, then I would play sh. Read some posts, it's much much better than full.

Having just walked a friend through this I fully concur.

At the .5/1 level I'll be playing full ring, but after that it'll be short handed.

I'll be on Stars, though, so no GameTime+

Dang, just when I thought I had a handle on the "lingo" too. PV?? GT+??

Player view and GameTime

lets you see other player's stats in thepoker table window as opposed to dragging up PokerTracker.

Hey, quick question bicycle, how many tables should I be playing at a time for shorthanded under these conditions? What's your opinion?

[bicyclekick]

3ish. 4 if you can really handle it.

Excellent, thanks. This sounds great.

I'd recommend three as well. Four can be rough if you've only played full tables before and since you are playing on a laptop I assume you will have some overlap, which never helps.

[ClaytonN]

Im not on a laptop. Thats for the summer + college

I've played short before, so I've decided to do 4 tables of short handed, no overlap
