Default Challenge #2

I decided to start the challenge over again on Friday.

I've been running so awfully lately that this was bound to happen:

Better than spamming the forum, though. I don't know how many people cared the first time, and I'm sure the second is a smaller subset [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Default Re: Party Skins NL Challenge? $25 NL -> $1000 NL

Woohoo just completed the $200's..it took a long time becuase I dont play this game regularly everyday and I was careful to play in only good games ie games with $80+ pot averages. I made most of my money on Paradise in the Full games which is unusual for me becuase in general I fare much better in 6MAX games than Full game..for example my winrate is $14.50 an hour at $100 NL 6MAX but only ~$8.00 per hour at $100 NL Full.
I have been very annoyed about this winrate at the $100 Full's it's pathetic- $8.00 an hour is only about or 7.27 PT BB/100..pretty lame..thats on 118K hands.

When NLHE was first introduced at Party my $100 NL Full earn stayed at $14.00 per hour around 13PT BB/100..NL need fish thu ..accordingly as the games have gotten tighter my winrate has plummetted from 13 PT BB/100 to 7PT BB/100. I seem to give too much action in full tables but in 6MAX I naturally seem to just do better-I think because I'm just more aggressive. I thought I'd have to play the $200 6MAX's to get this done but I ran well at Paradise in 2 big sessions...Action in general on Paradise is much better than Party!:





The OP's goals were 2 fold #1 To play $1000 NLHE and #2 To make $4K during this Challenge. Fact is you dont even need to play in the $1000's to make $4K. If you earn 4x the game limit at each level you will only have to play up into the $600's .If you are lucky enough to complete the $600's your original $100 stake should be $5600 for a net gain of $5500.

Playing with only 4 buy-ins ie $1600 for the $400 is a bit daunting to say the least.. I'm going to put some more solid hours in at the $200's Full and 6MAX before I attempt to beat the $400's -I just dont think I'm good enough yet plus this month has been crap for me ...maybe in Sept.I'll give it a shot. I knew I could get past the $200's the $400's I dont have that confidence..yet.

The best thing about this challenge is it got me start playing NL again. I'm playing as much NL as Limit now after playing almost all Limit from early this year.

This is a great way to get a feel for the play at various levels..give it a shot plus it's fun.

ok, I don't know if dtbog or goodguy_1 is still doing this, but I've decided to come along too. This will truly be a great challenge for me, since I've only played NL50 before. Anyway, I have a spare $100 on PokerStars so I'm gonna play there instead. Also I don't have a lot of free time for poker so I don't expect to be able to put in more than 1000 hands / week.

Here's my progress so far.





Hmmmm, I guess I need to work on that PFR% if I wan't a happy ending to this endevour...

Off to a good start in the 50's mainly thanks to flopped quads.

Is anyone else still running this?

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] well of course it is. but dumb can be fun ! chances are pretty good that I end up with nothing, but hey, I had nothing when I started, so... I guess that means I'll still have everything left.
