10nl to 25nl challenge

unstoppable4 · Nov 22, 2008

Ok right now I have a 295 dollar bankroll and want to build it up to 500 before I move up to 25 nl. I am just now getting back into the cash games so I will probably be a little rusty. Anyways if anyone wants to race me to the 500 dollar roll, then it will make it more fun (I think).

ra64 · Nov 22, 2008

i would, but I have an adjantage, i had 320 2 monthes ago when i started focusing on 10nl, but now i'm up to 450. I don't play much though, only about 5000 cash hands during this period.

I'm also trying to get 500 before moving up.

kleitches · Dec 22, 2008

Any updates?

ra64 · Dec 22, 2008

well, I moved up to 25nl shortly after posting. I was up around 250 from around 6000 hands, so an exteremly high ~40 big blinds/100 (20bigbets/100).

so far I've played around 2500 hands at 25nl and have only made 50 some bucks, only ~8 big blinds/100

I'll race ya

My Rolls currently at $232. No cheating

I'm at around $310 but won't be moving up once I get to $500, in another topic I posted some more experienced grinders recommended getting to around $650-$750 just to be safe. From what I hear 25NL is the first "real" jump in skill where there are more regulars than donks which makes it easy to lose a couple buyins right off the bat and being forced back down a limit, but good luck in the grind!

Race is on! Worst to 1st here. I'll start with my Full Tilt "bankroll" which is at $106.96 right now. Time to play as many hands as possible a day, go go go!

Mase31683 · Dec 22, 2008

Mase31683 · Dec 22, 2008

Tell you what, I love this challenge...BR = $146.86

Mase31683 · Dec 23, 2008

Talk about some variance, lost a $15 cap, went back to $3cap and ground it all back and then some, ended the day at $150.22.

+40.4% of bankroll

$500 here I come!

kleitches · Dec 23, 2008

Fine, I'll join this race now since everyone has decided to give it a go

. Started with $5 a month ago, BR now at $379.24. Currently playing both 5nl and 10nl. GO GO GO!

Lemlywinks · Dec 23, 2008

Ya sure i'll join. I'm trying to do the same, took a bit of a hit today and am currently at $281something.

Good luck all

unstoppable4 · Dec 23, 2008

I had my roll up to around 400 and then a couple days ago i broke my right hand while playing basketball and I can't 10-table left handed so I am going to switch to sngs for the next 4-6 weeks. GL!

scragbag · Dec 23, 2008

Well! I was a busy bee last night xmas shoppin an all, But this evening is where it begins

Are you steppin up to 25nl when you hit $500 though? I thought maybe $600 + for the extra buy ins, Maybe it's a psychological thing but I do like having wee little buffer to get to know the new limit

Lets get a 25nl to 50nl thread started once we hit ya?

spranger · Dec 23, 2008

Anyone ever take 2 or 3 days off and just feel like they completely lost their poker game? My internet was down and now it just feels like I'm playing completely shitty. BR is down about $20 over a couple thousand hands but still over $300 so I'll be hittin that $500 soon enough I hope.

Mase31683 · Dec 23, 2008

Got a few hours in today. I'm at $181.41 Now I'm really catching up, I think I might win this race.

kleitches · Dec 29, 2008

Hit $440 last night. How's everyone else doing?

Lemlywinks · Dec 29, 2008

Hit a -2.5BI cooler earlier today after taking a couple of days off.

BR currently at $350ish

scragbag · Dec 29, 2008

meh, haven't played much over the festive period, plus i've been estblishing myself with 10nl, had a SICK 4BI downswing when i first got going an for 5k hands I was all over the shop, but now i'm showing a juiceeee rise, I hit $300 last night, How many hands a day you guys getting in?

Lemlywinks · Dec 29, 2008
