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

h_ven · #1 09-15-2004, 06:15 PM

I'm going to try and make $1,000 in 10 days by playing 2 tables at a time of 5/10 at Partypoker. I know it's only 100 BB, but I only have about 600 hands logged into pokertracker that are in the red.

I'm going to put away $300 to try and do it. That's a 60 BB bankroll, which is way under the reccomended.

I'm probably going to bore many people due to all of the new quests out there.

I'm still in highschool though, im just 18. I'm a normal everyday kid that plays sports and goes out on the weekends.
I got lucky and won a $35,000 R&A on paradise. Took $9,000 for 1st. Then I cashed about $2,000 from partypoker this month.

I pretty much just play 1/2 (6 max). I have about 10K logged at that limit. My quest will start right after I post this. This will be day one, and I'll hopefully post everyday, or untill I bust out.

you can easily make $1000 playing 2/4 or 3/6 if you try hard enough, with much less risk of going broke. i highly urge against playing 5/10 with so little.

$300 = 30 BB, not 60. You don't even have enough to buy in at 2 tables

Expert players experience -30 BB swings approximately all the time. However, since you're a beginner, you should be fine.

You should probably play 15/30 to further decrease your variance, since at the higher limits you can protect your hand and people respect bets and raises.

Dude why dont you take that 300 and invest it in something that has a chance of paying off.....like lottery tickets!

bicyclekick · #9 09-15-2004, 08:30 PM

the 5/10 on party poker is one of the hardest games to beat on there I think.

Play 3/6 man. Don't be stupid.

/edit: I take that back, go play like .5/1 with taht 300 and get some damn experiance. If you play 2/4 or higher I can almost gaurentee you'll lose it.

This is a very bad idea. Honestly. Don't do it.
