My $1000 Challenge

This is a challenge to myself (Boku87 style)!

I currently have $52 in my pokerstars bankroll


and i'll be playing all the games i could but will probably concentrate more on a 45 player SNG. My bankroll management is this...i will only play a certain limit when i have a BR > 50x the buyin for that limit.

Example:

$1 buyin X 50 = $50 PLAY
$3 buyin x 50 = $150 > my BR is $52 ---> DONT

so if my BR reached $150 that is the only time i will play the $3 buyin sng's.
im not sure if can do it the way boku87 does by playing 50 sngs at time... that is really sick!
my max mtt would probably be 4 tables at a time. and hopefully, i can play about a minimum
or 4 games a day. not sure when i can achieve the challenge tho at this rate. but i am hoping
that before october the challenge is done.



not a good sight isn't it!? LOL! i did not follow my BR management on those downswings so
its my fault. anyway, i will be updating my blog everyday provided that i played. no play no
updates!!

OK... let's get ready to rumble😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

i will follow you.....let's rumble😡 :thumbsup

Wish you the best at the tables

Good luck with that😡!

BR = $46.72

I was not able to update the blog on the last 3 days.... bcoz, i took a huge downswing and almost tilted me out😡 I played 10 games simultaneously and lost all of them! what a bad luck! I think 3 of them i positioned on the bubble. took a hard lesson not to call ALLIN with just a top pair in your hand... well i do hope that i can still keep it up and reach back to where i started. i thought this is just going to be a walk in the park... but damn! how the hell boku87 manage to make it playing with 50 sng's simultaneously!? he's not human😡 LOL!!

anyway, hope to reach at least $100 by the end of the week... Wish me luck everyone😡

BR = $58.08

ok now im up to a few dollars. i just played a few tourneys. 4 cashes actually out 14 tourneys. placing mostly on 3rd position for the 45 player turbo $1 buyin. most disappointing one is my $1 tourney with $1000 guaranteed price pool at 6pm. show below is my worst nightmare... >.<

BR goin' down... 😔

dont worry bro... i only play there for Freerolls! never would i deposit on those cereus networks! :1orglaugh

Best of luck on your quest, added money buy ins can be a great way to increase your bankroll but stars doesn't have a big selection. not sure why people dislike the cereus network, solid play and a decent starting bankroll is all you need to build your bankroll up there.

BR goin' down... 😔
