One of the Prima sites did something like this a while back. The BIG difference was that there were restrictions as to the limits you could play based on your bankroll. This eliminated the possibility of someone taking their $25 and getting 5-6 lucky hands at a limit far above the level that bankroll belongs at.
Seems that with all the chastising people take for playing above their bankroll around here rewarding someone who gets lucky with that would be ironic. Sounds like a cool idea, I will play no matter what, but I think adding something to follow the 300 BB guidelines (move up to the next level when you get to milestones, move back down levels when you fall below the bankroll for the level you are playing) would keep this about skill, not luck. |

.04*300 = $12
.10*300 = $30 .20*300 = $60 .50*300 = $150 $1*300 = $300 You could use somewhere between 200 and 300 BB as a range for a given level as I am sure there are 90% out there who don't want to go play .02/04 or .05/.10 (even though that is where this should start). For those that are interested what limits would you likely play? I guess my thoughts were that someone who doesn't care about the possibility of losing $25 will jump into a $25 NL table and hit a few good hands then jump over to $1/2 or $2/$4 and be done with this in a day or two.

This seems really hard to "police." In other words, what's stopping someone from fudging the numbers and basically saying he made $500 from $25 in one week?
I dunno. All I know is that BBC or not, I have work to do with my new weenie-roll.

I have to say, Blibbity, I disagree. No one ever said this $25 was supposed to represent someone's entire bankroll or that this is what someone should do if it was. I was to keep it a friendly $ amount, but no way am I sitting at some .02/.04 table.
If people (like me) get lucky playing $25 NL to start, so be it. There is just as good a chance that they will get unlucky and be busted in their first orbit. That's the point though - everyone gets to decide how they want to work the $25. If they want to take the high risk/reward, so be it. If they want to grind away at the microlimits, that's fine too. I'd you'd rather me change the name of this from "Bankroll Building Contest" to "$25 Building Contest," so be it... but there will be no restrictions as to what games/limits people play. If Heads up Triple Draw is your game, go for it! |

 I wasn't saying you had to do it that way. That was just how the other contest was structured. Funny though

Well, like I said, this will be based on the honor system. If you feel unable to be honest about how you are doing, please don't play. But I'm sure the rest of us will do just fine.
This is also why I suggested posting when you start and finish a session. This way, people COULD watch you if they wanted to, and if anyone sees some get busted and reload or do anything else shady, they are out. Hopefully no one would resort to that though. I know I won't. |
