Recently I have undertaken to do a $100-$10k challenge starting with $6 buy-in games. I am ahead by $23 so far after spewing millions of dollars or what seems like it. I don’t know why I do these self imposed challenges but I am just a glutton for punishment I guess.
The latest results for the Jackal and Vulture road tests have continued to be positive and The Jackal now stands at a profit of $1375 and this equates to 6.11bb/100 after 45,000 hands.
The Vulture is $679 ahead after 17,000 hands and this equates to 7.99bb/100. I have been disappointed that the sample sizes have taken so long but my guinea pigs have their own lives to lead and I don’t have the time to do this. A few people will have been wondering what has happened to my posts but I have still been very busy, too busy for my liking.
All of my spare time has been devoted to working on these systems and playing the $100-$10k challenge which for me just could well be the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. Trying to keep discipline when you are playing poker for such small amounts of money is very tough. In fact these are the smallest stakes that I have EVER played in online poker.
In terms of average dollar pot size then the $6 games have smaller pot sizes then the $1-$2 limit games that I played when I was testing The Fox a few weeks back. I have not played any serious poker for meaningful stakes for ages so I have not had any reason for using Poker Office.
Actually the 10k challenge is starting to grip me but my own indiscipline is my own worst enemy and I always knew that it would be. I have also lost four big $12 pots (200 big blinds) on the river to two out hands and when you are trying to claw your way up then these really hurt.
I will try and keep you updated with the challenge but the challenge was to show how a player could turn $100 into $10k playing carefully and using bankroll management. My bankroll philosophy is very cautious and not my usual aggressive style but then again this isn’t for me but for you out there. If I can pull this off then anyone can do it and I really do mean that.
So three challenges on the go……Jackal….Vulture and Me reaching 10k. Oh and nearly forgot……I have a fourth challenge……trying to lose three stone in weight and this was something that I started over two months ago…….result so far……lost 17lb so good news on that front. Now if I can make it to 10k then that should be a great grand slam to win!
