worst idea ever

Re: $1K in 10 days with no BR and no experience.
 

You guys act like I've never played poker before.

But, your right, it was a stupid idea. I think I am gonna play what I know. I'l probably be back at the 1/2 6 max tomorrow.

thanks for knocking some sense into me.

Table 1 - start $150 end $0.00
Table 2 - start $150 end ~$250

Re: $1K in 10 days with no BR and no experience.
 

worst idea ever

I know this one guy who started with 50 BB's at .5/1 moving up in stakes every 100 BB's. He ran through the limits and earned 700 BB's in 10 days. $50 to $120k and counting in 10 months. Worked pretty well for him.

If he believes he's good enough and is willing to part with $300 without much thought or worry or added stress in his life, I see no problem with the plan the original poster laid out. Since he said he has no experience and (by the hand he posted) doesn't seem to know how to play even semi-decent poker, I think it's a bad idea for him. I give him a 98% chance of busting before reaching his goal of earning $1k.

Meh. That dude just got lucky.

Re: $1K in 10 days with no BR and no experience.
