TheBong's Quest - The Fresh Start!

[TheBong]

I know a good many of you read my first quest post, and were a little disappointed when it had apparently come to a premature ending.

The quest is back on again, I have been restaked, and will be reembarking on my quest. Here's the rundown again of what my quest will consist of.

I have been staked $400 to start, but on this stake the repay is not until $1200, so I will have a bankroll much better equipped to deal with swings. Here are my preliminary goals before embarking on the quest.

------------------------------------------------------------
The Quest of TheBong!

Objective: To rebuild a bankroll capable of sustaining playing for a living.

Goals:

$400-$1200 Party $25 NL
$1200 - Repay Friendly 2+2 Buddy his money and profit.
Date hoped to achieve: (10-01-04)

$400-$1000 Party $25 NL (10-24-04)
$1000-$2000 Party $50 NL (Thanksgiving)
$2000-$5000 Party $100 NL (Christmas)
$5000-$10000 Party $200 NL (March 1st, 2005)

At any point over $10k I would feel the bankroll was adequately rebuilt. I would look to continue building, perhaps to move to either PokerStars or UB's higher NL games at this point.

I again, will be playing 100% No-Limit games, on the 6-Max tables. My financial backer has asked to remain nameless, but he is a fellow 2+2 poster with an interest in seeing me do well. He's also agreed to provide me with coaching and mentoring as I go throughout my quest, and even though he wishes to maintain his anonymity I would like to give him my personal thanks for looking out for a fellow player.

I hope this post will interest you folks, I'll try to post after each session whether it's a winner or a loser, and post hands for discussion from time to time.

Thanks to all of 2+2 for their support!
