bankroll building

[JDMcNugent7]

i remember thats why i came to the site.
i saw a bankroll building contest turn $50 into $200 the fastest or sumthin lol.

I remember it was $100 into 1k and $25 into something, think like $500 or something, I would do either. Of course stil playing low limits, I expect all you guys to bust it pretty quick playing some high limit and taking one bad beat then me flying under the radar playing .05/.10 up $20.


but seriously Im really interested in getting this going.

I think it has to be something like $0 into $100,000 to get JD interested these days....

I'm interested. I almost suggested doing a longer term thing to turn $100 into $10,000 or something, but then I remembered how difficult it is to keep track of for a week or two, much less a few months or more....

As a side note, I heard something (on here I think) about Jesus doing another bankroll building contest from $0. Does anyone have a link to anything from him describing the plans? I want to try that one of these days.

I would do any amount into anything but im not shooting for hitting 10k,5k hell not even $500, I just plan on grinding. But I do think this would be real good and we all know how you LOVE doing updates for us.

I think we could do a month long one at the very longest, depending of course how many people join. Im sure TP will join seeing as he won the $25 one and has to defend it. Count me in, and I hope its easier to track this time.

Honestly, even though it was fun, I doubt I'll join this time (unless we start at $100 and I'll just go for broke if we do that). I'm trying to focus on more serious poker when I do make the time to play, so I don't think I'll want to mess around with this too much.

I definitely recommend this for others though. Maybe post a link to one of the old ones so people can see how we did it, the rules, etc.

[BrianSwa]

I can totally respect that, if you are trying to get real serious about 3/6NL and all I can see why you wouldnt want to do this.



as for the links sure here u go




thats the one from $100 into 1k which I think is good!


edit: if we start this think it should be started 1st of next month and run a whole month or 1k whichever comes 1st. Should be ok because high rollers like JD wouldnt be able to play higher then $100 NL for this seeing as you cant have more then $100 to start out at the table. So read through the thread and post if your interested then if there is intrest we will talk about a prize pool.


im interested.

So, reading TP's post got me thinking that this is not the best way for us to compare the people on the forum as people's limits/bankrolls vaires so much lately.

The August Goals, September Goals, etc..... has replaced this (not as a contest) with individual goals and progress toward meeting them. This is SOOOOO much more exciting, interesting and worthwhile to everyone here. Compare that to making JD wast hours grinding at .10/.25 and he should REALLY just go to class!

There may be a bunch of players here who are interested. I MAY be interested if I haven't set goals for myself that would be better served. But maybe the better plan is to just set a goal, POST IT, and meet BEAT it!

Maybe, if it HAS to be a competition, we can vote on who set/beat their goals for the month/year? This could be based on challenge, % won compared to starting roll, etc, etc.

Just a thought.
