My first challenge - getting ready for the WSOP

[TheLoser]

Mainly a lurker but I decided I would post my HU challenge and update it here to see how close to my goal I can get and also I figure if I am updatting it on here I may stay on track better. A little information on myself, I am 22 years old I have been playing poker for a livivng for a little over 3 years now, the first 2 years were really rough and a good loearning expirience. Battling with aweful money management and playing excessive blackjack depleted my roll many times, the last year has been sort of a turning point. I am still trying to kick the table games habit, but things are going much better. I bounce around a lot of sites mainly playuing NL cash games and more recently MTT's to gear up for the wsop this year. The challenge will be stars NL heads up matches, I will be playing 2 at a time unless there is a tournament I feel like playing going on. I am starting with 500 ddollars and will be playing two 50's at a time until I get to 1000 BR then head on to 200's when I reach 2000, 500's at 5000 etc. My goal is to make 50 000 between now and June 27 when I will be leaving for vegas.I will be updating each night around 12 est. My user name on stars is HALIPIMP feel free to come say hello.

why settle for 50 thousand?

My first day went very well...I played two heads up matches for most of the day and got to 1000 dollars within 5 hours and went on to the 100 heads up matches. In the 100 heads up matches things also went very smooth and I got to the 2k mark after 10 hours of play which is much much faster then expected. There was one player, Jerryforu7 who beat me in all 3 of the 100 matches I played against him he was a chrocic over better and I found him tough to play. I am going to start the 200 level for a few hours before bed hopefully ti goes as well as the rest of the day.

Goal 50k Current 2108

10,000% increase in 5 weeks is a tough goal. Good luck. Keep us posted.

If it were an easy challenge it wouldn't be much fun now owuld it?

Not at all, but let me tell you that $10,000 a week is extremely tough (I'd say very few players playing below 20/40 could keep this up), especially starting with a small bankroll. And the fact that you're playing headsup will probably make things tougher, not easier.
