December challenge: 200$ to 1000$

[Colossos159]

Hi,
my "mission" for December is to take my 200$ on Stars and turn it into 1000$ by the end of the month. Some guidelines:

- Bankroll management:
I will start at 10NL and I'm only to move up after i get 15 buy ins for the next level. I must move down when below 10 buy ins for the current level. This means I need 375$ to start playing 25NL and 750$ for playing 50NL.

- Only 6max or full ring cash games and I can play as many tables as I want (probalby 4-6 tables). No sit'n'go's or tournaments.

- Post a graph/stats of my progress very regularly and once in awhile a video while i'm playing.

- Bonuses or rakeback not included.

- I will not whine about bad beats or running bad

- Challenge starts this saturday 29th november and finishes 31th of december. I dont have to work from the 22th of december on so i should be able to play many hands during that period.

- The person who guesses or is closest to the amount i'll have on my stars account by the 31th of december gets 30$. You are only allowed to guess once and you have until Wednesday 3th of December as I will post my first progress on that day. Although very doubtfull, keep in mind that my account can exceed the 1000$, if thats the case the person who is closest to the right amount will get 10% of my profit during that period (which means at least 80$).


Info: My normal stakes are 25nl with some 50nl. I've been playing the microstakes now for a year and have had decent succes. The only stats i have on my play are at 10nl for 5k hands as I didnt use PT or HM ever except for the last couple of days. I'm running 15/10/3,8 and running 13ptbb/100 but this is only for 5k hands at 10nl.
I do this challenge because I know i'm a winning player with a high winrate but i'm too lazy to put in many hands and hope this will give me the motivation to play play play.

Wish me goodluck.

Colossus, it's pretty inspiring to see you do this.. I'm going to try and regrind my roll online also. I currently have $190 after losing some sit and gos due to maybe not catching a break when I'm ahead but whatever.

I used to have a nice $700 roll till I donked it off tilting etc etc and I would like to join you in your endeavour to convert $190 into $1,000. Since I have time off from uni, it's going to be a make or break for me with this.

Same guidelines though I might play some heads up games. I've been beating live $5/5 games at the local casino but that doesn't mean anything. I've been playing very tight and making moves at spots when I'm almost a lock.

In any case it would also provide me with the needed motivation to actually put in the hours. I hope to try and emulate you Colossus.

Good luck.

I'm also on pokerstars.

Take it easy guys.

GL man.
Just install free RealTimeHUD program for multitabling tracking.
It has all the same features as HEM, as it comes from theses guys.
I found it the best program aside HEM, of course.
I believe you'll make it fine, just don't tilt, cause looks like from your vids you are going on tilt very easily.

Great idea guys and the VERY best of luck with the challenge

Im going to guess $750 best of luck

[juvydriver]

I'm going to say you will run hot (in the spirit of Christmas and all) and go with $1025.

Also, I"m going to borrow from your idea. I won't get to play as much, so I'm going to shoot for $200 by the end of the month playing $4 NL.

If we guess over the correct amount are we void from the challenge? Like the price is right?

I'm guessing 833$ total bankroll.. profit of 633$

GL man.
Can I give my number after your first graph? or it should be prior.
