Posted by hemuli: How big u gonna play? But iagree that those multitables are interesting to play ! For the rakeback gold was around 20% with the VIP... For sure somewhere on the internet there is the % for all levels..
Maybe I will also start to grind those still little bit searching for the games I like most and still make profits but I remember that there is lot of regs on 45..
And well done with the... Drinking
Not big, want to grind my way up, dont want to deposit a lot. Hmmm 20% is really bad, when i grinded at PKR i had allways total sometin like 75% total which is a lot i know.

Hi there, not much time lately to play poker but did thinking of a new challenge and allready began. Want to play at Stars and did have exactly $1,60 on my account, first thought to play my way up with fifty fiftys with a small deposit. I tested these with my $1,60 so i played the lowest which was $1,50 and won. Played another one and won and another one and won. Worked my way up to $7 without a single loss but these fiftys are just so awfull i hate them, i kinda like DoNs but fiftys are so really bad imo. So i stopped fiftys and searched for the 45/90/180 mans SNGs. Very nice and also very profitable imo.
Ok here is the challenge:
With $1 to Vegas:
Start bankroll $1, want to play low buyin WSOP event with max buyin $2.500, so $1.000 and $2.500 events. Also want to take girlfriend and kiddo with me on that vacation. Thinking of a $25K/$30K to do this, want a overolled time and deffo not underolled.
Starting at 25cents SNG and playing my way up thru the stakes with kinda very safe bankrollmanagement. I am thinking of 3 years to complete this (i did this before with $75 to $50K and that one took me over 5years).
Bankrollmanagement:
Roll $100+ play $1 SNGs (i skip 50cent ones cos they all turbos) Roll $150+ play $1,50 SNGs Roll $350+ play $3,50 SNGs (skip $2,50 cos no 45mans) Roll $1000+ play $7 SNGs (kinda new rule more safe BRM) Roll $3000+ play $15 SNGs Roll $6000+ play $30 SNGs
After the $30 ones they all turbo so have to make a new plan here cos i dont want to play turbo. Kinda think of MTTs or more likely phases which are extremely profitable imo.
So hell of job and started allready.
Start $1 Roll $17,92
Edit: I unlocked my Stars scope costs 3 cents so charts come in later.

great new challenge doom like the structure here, safe bankroll management, no turbos/hypers, clear goal and a realistic time-frame. also good to see that we can have a peek @ how you're doing since you unlocked the scope (hope we'll have your nick sooner or later, so we can stare and envy at your performances)

Posted by magatt966: Why don't you just crush a couple of hundreds DONs, as you used to do during good old times, to give a boost to your br?
Yeh i cud but do want a challenge, if i start with lets say $500 or $1.000 its not kinda a challenge, it wud be kinda easy to reach a good roll in a couple of years. Now the challenge is ''with $1 to vegas'', its really a very hard job, but if i find the time and not getting bored its achieveable imo.

G'day mate
I stopped in to say hello and wish you well. Just read your post and find myself wondering why you would limit yourself needlessly. Do not understand what you are trying to prove. Is it a challenge for yourself or for others? If you are doing it solely for yourself then I say go for it. believe in yourself and be prepared to put in alot of effort. best wishes be cool

Hello guys,
Didnt play much poker so my challenge goes really slow. But its deffo going up so thats ok. Started from $1 i am now at a $45ish wish is great knowing i only playing $0.25 games and a odd $0.50 game. Dont have much time, and if i have time i sometimes loose focus due to boredness or just too tired to play but still started up some games, then at some point i just want to go to bed and just go allin with all reasonable hands, really bad i know
But still going great knowing i dont play really focussed
Hope to have more time to pick this challenge up but have my doubts
Anyway goodluck to everybody wish you all good luck and happiness

I did i roughly estimate on how my challenge will end, and its a bit not motivating lol. Here it is:
Its something like what ROI on what limit and i will have to play 10 games a day everage: (I allways do minimum 200 buyin rule)
Roll $50 stake $0,25 ROI 20%, 100 days to make it to $100 Roll $100 stake $0,50 ROI 20%, 100 days to make it to $200 Roll $200 stake $1,00 ROI 15%, 140 days to make it to $400 Roll $400 stake $2,00 ROI 10%, 50 days to make it to $600 Roll $600 stake $3,00 ROI 8%, 150 days to make it to $1000 Roll $1000 stake $5,00 ROI 8%, 250 days to make it to $2000 Roll $2000 stake $10,00 ROI 7%, 400 days to make it to $5000
So i started with $1, for now i go really fast (compaired to the stakes i play) Sitting now at $50ish Roll with ROI on $0,25 far higher then 20% So roughly 1100 days to make it to a roll $5000 Thats 3 years After that i want to go to $50K and then Vegas, how long this will be
I did $50K in roughly 4 years in the past but that was with minimum 40 games a day and stake $10, so thats so so so much faster.

Update: Sitting at a $90ish roll now, going very steady but not playing very much. Putting in the $0,50 MTTs, they very nice on Stars, very easy money.
still little bit searching for the games I like most and still make profits 
but I remember that there is lot of regs on 45.. 
so charts come in later.
