bankroll building

BlibbityBlabbity · #1 09-08-06, 10:09 PM

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.

I was playing with ferguson in 5c 10c nl at fulltilt shortly after he won $4 in a freeroll and he was talking about it .And I belive he was completly serious.
He said he was turning it into a book.

After posting my last post I pulled all my money out of poker sites except for $10 bucks on fulltilt. withdrew all my money from neteller too. I am gonna see
how far the $10 will go, if I go broke (hope not) I will only play freerolls to start over. Lets see how far I can grow

to the end of the year.

Let it be written let it be done.

I personally dont like setting goals, thats just me. My goal is to not have to ever deposit again. I will but any deposits past my next one will just be additions to my bankroll and not needed to play. I actully cant stand setting goals because if you dont reach them its like you were a failure. I honestly like the bankroll building contests but if there is not enough intrest and you want to do the goal thing that is fine by me also.

I do see your point though about JD grinding .10/.25 would be really big waste of his time. BUT there are alot of low limit players on here also that might be intrested in it. Lets see how many are interested in next couple days and decide to go from there.

Goals don't have to be make $x in x days. Just setting out to do what you posted the other day: Play within a set limit, play your best and build within your limits is a goal. I totally understand that it can be frustrating not to meet a monetary goal you set for yourself.

I wasn't saying this should not be done. It was fun the other times and if there is interest it is a good idea.
