15 BB challenge time again

[PokerSlut]

I have moved up from .25/.50 to .5/1 finishing the previous level with what can only be called a remarkable streak of cards that included quad 10's in the BB followed immediately by getting Q7s in the SB and flopping Q7Q.

[PokerSlut]

I've now finished up .5/1 thanks in part to an INCREDIBLE calling station at my table who played nearly every hand with the exception of a couple where it was 3 bets by the time the betting got to him pf. He paid me off handsomely on a couple of hands; the last one being where I held KQo and the flop came 89T and turn J making him a lower straight with his Q4o, which he capped all the way.

That was followed immediately by QQ in LP before I could get up from the table, which I also got paid off on leaving me up $9 over my 15BB buy-in for 1/2.

Join a limit with 15BB (.25/.50 With $7.50, .50/1 $15 Whichever).

Move up everytime you have 15BB for the next level, No moving down.

This looks like something I might do next time I go to a B&M.

Edit: On the internet side of things, do BBJ tables count as steps up in the challenge? Just asking.

What is a BBJ table?

Do you mean blackjack??? Or maybe something to do with a jackpot?

Bad Beat Jackpot. When Party's gets really high, it's close to EV+.

Otherwise, it isn't worth the extra rake, but it certainly wouldn't disqualify you from the 15 BB Challenge - if anything, it would make it more difficult.

And in other news, after thinking on it a while, I'm declaring my Challenge at an end.

Together with the bonus I cleared, I made just over $2000 in less than a week, effectively doubling my bankroll, and that's a pretty good milestone for declaring victory, considering it's taken me 7 months to make the other ~$2000.

But I had to just sit in at a 50/100 table with the default buy-in that I couldn't have fronted pre-Challenge:



And here are my stats for the wild ride (small sample size, yes, but that's still an awfully high WTS%, isn't it?):



And finally, what I'm buying to commemorate my run:



Thanks for all your support, and good luck on your Challenges. No doubt I'll do the Challenge again, though, and take it to wherever it goes.

that is totally nuts, I gotta say.

be careful of trying to recreate that sort of rush!

Are you saying that 15 BB/100 is not sustainable? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Wonder if I can work up the courage to try it live sometime...

My 15BB challenge ended in tragedy at the 1/2 level yesterday after only a few hands. It began with my flopping a boat vs. quads, resulting in a spectacular 10BB loss in a 3-way pot on my very first hand. The ordeal ended only a few hands later when my nut flush suddenly because less nutty when the river paired the board.

Goddam, dude, well done.

This is why this challenge exists.
