Another zero-to-something challenge.. Why not do like already suggested on other threads and try to make it for example from 50-500.. or something like that..10 to 100 maybe? Especially if you have already made some nice cashouts I guess you are somewhat a winning player..
However I wish you all the luck and hope you'll succeed, this is a nice challenge too!

Welcome to the forum. Nice goal you got there. 25$ isnt a high one, but you will need some luck to score that. A good finish though, like in a final table, will have you close to reaching the goal.gl

probably because it is more of a challenge to make something out of nothing..anyone with time and patience could run $50 - $500 im sure, but jeez what is the fun in that?
i reckon anyone who sets themselves a challenge should be allowed to carry on with their challenge without criticism for carrying out the said challenge (im not directing that at you personally but in general)
goodlck with your challenge and hope it pays off the way you want it

10player SnG .10 + .02 6th position 6player SnG .10 + .02 1st position

You are on a good way there, and with that rhythm you will reach your goal way ahead of your schedule. I hope you keep doing good and get the rest of the money. Then cash out and deposit the money back to get the first deposit bonus

Maybe it will be very boring at start (freerolls, etc), but I see that you build your bankroll pretty fast, so now will be better part - microstakes, steps, etc.
In 2 days you have 1/6 of your goal - so if you don't catch downswing, you will achieve your goal with ease.

what site r u playing on? glad to see your challenge is up and running- just don't see how steps "step in" in your overall challenge. imho you were doing great with the freerolls+ cash games route and was on your way to those $25, now why the hell did you start playing steps? anyway nice to see you're doing great, good luck in the future
