Default $1K in 10 days, try #2

$1K in 10 days, try #2 with a bankroll, and with more experience.

I tried a little quest at the 5/10 to try and get lucky I guess.

For those of you who didn't see my last quest, I was going to try and win
$1K in 10 days w/ no BR or no experience at the 5/10 which I've never had success at.

I'm and 18 year old senior in highschool that lives in Montana. I've snuck into several bars and played 2-20 spread and NL $300 pot limit when I was 17. The $300 pot limit really sucks, because I hate having to bet only $40 or so on the river and still getting a rebate. Ever since I turned 18 I've been on someone of a losing streak. I've played a few hands and the 2/4 and feel somewhat comforatble playing there. I killed the 1/2(6max) in 10,000 hands by making 5BB/100 hands.

One of my buddies is coming home from college tonite. Hopefully we can have a few beers and then head to the Bison's 2-20 spread limit. You can't check-raise and you can't check the nuts on the river. There's a few usuals down there that are pretty decent players, one is tight enough to considered a TAG, and the other can play any two cards pretty well.

I get alot of respect down there, alot of people that know who I am fold when I raise. The drunk people that play call me all the way down when I raise with UTG and flop a monster.



QUEST

I am going to start this quest off with a 300BB bankroll and with a somewhat adequate amount of hands played at the 2/4.

I am going to start this quest today even though I might not get the amount of hands in I want to.

I am going to 4 table the 2/4, and play that only for the next 10 days.

Thats 250BB in 10 days and 25 BB/day.

Is this quest going to be considered short term luck since it's only going to be in 10 days? Should I post the number of hands I play too?

you can't check the nuts on the river.

I'd feel handcuffed in this game.

It's like handing your opponent the pot.
