Default 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.

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.

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. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Default Re: How long will he take?

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 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.
