Party Skins NL Challenge? $25 NL -> $1000 NL

dtbog · #1 05-25-2005, 09:02 PM

Hey all -

So here's my idea. (No, it's not original, I've seen threads like this all over 2+2 lately.. so I'm a poser. whatever.)

I'm going to start with $100, which happens to be four buy-ins at NL $25. I'll play $25 NL until I have four buy-ins at the next level, which happens to be NL $50. And so on.

My goal, of course, is to play $1000 NL and get to $4k in the process.

It'll be interesting when I get to $600 NL, because I've never played that high and I don't even know what the game is like...

.. but anyway, wish me luck.

My friend Mike is in for $1... so if I do get to $4k, he gets $40. Not bad.

I'll post updates, if anyone cares.

Awesome. Good luck to you. If you're successful, it would be an inspiration to us all.

short-buys for one with 50 bucks and i've ran up 200 @ 200NL to 1.1k, I think i'm running on fire.

this is all with about 15-20 hours of two-tabling

... so I'm 4-tabling 25 NL and my router disconnects itself... oops.

I wasn't really playing any hands (I'd just made a preflop raise at one, but that's about it)... but now PT won't be 100% accurate.. Oh well.

Since when is NL $25 a grind?

I can't get anyone to put money in the pot after the flop comes out... are these tables rock-tight all of the sudden?

Are you playing the same tables as me? I am up $100 in 4 hours 4-tabling the $25s. I mean, all I do is nut peddle, but I will take a stack an hour as a win rate. Seriously, just calm down.

If you make it to 1000nl, it won't be without some trouble. Your risk of ruin with 4 buyins, especially at upper levels where you are inexperienced, is just ridiculous. At what point do you plan on dropping back down a level? When you lose two buyins?

Best of luck, and may Lady Variance be with you.

When I began to play, I did exatly like you, and I reach NL100 in 2 week.

I got lucky not to bust out though.

Of course.. ROR is through the roof. Just trying to have a little fun and see where I end up.
