[Talking Poker]

So, I was thinking about this a little bit last night, and I don't have the details worked out yet, but I was thinking it would be cool if we did a HU Cash Game challenge. The basic idea would be to start at a very low limit (probably up to each individual based on their bankroll, but a couple of levels BELOW where you usually play), and then play. Sticking to strict bankroll guidelines, you would move up as your roll grows, but the catch is that you have to "bank" some percentage of your profits from every session.... maybe 20%. That way, when you eventually bust/quit, you will have somthing to show for your efforts.

Bankroll requirements for this challenge would be much more aggressive/risky that "normal," making it more exciting and a better chance for a quick, big score. I'm thinking anywhere from 2-4 buy ins.

So, just for an example of how this would work, let's use these variables:

-Bank 20% of profits after each session.
-3x bankroll requirement.

Say you start with a $100 roll. That means you can play at the $25 tables (you need $150 to play the $50s).

Session 1:
Leave table with $35: $10 profit.
$2 goes in the "bank" and new roll is $108.

Session 2:
Lose $20.
New roll is $88 (we still have $2 in the bank).

Session 3:
Leave table with $65: $40 profit.
$8 goes in the bank. New Roll is $120.
$10 is safe in the bank.

Etc, etc.

A couple of things to remember: You'd have to turn auto-reload off, so you can keep track of exactly where you are at roll wise. No multi-tabling. Well, I guess you oculd play two $50 tables instead of one $100 table, but the idea is to move up quickly.

I guess for this to work well (chance for a big score), we'd need to really lax the bankroll requirements and maybe only play with a 2x roll requirement. I dunno.

What do you guys think? Sound interesting/fun? Any ideas?
