Kind of a challenge... more like a target...
Starting with $0.04.... because that's how much I had, and can't deposit... I am attempting to get to $5,000 by Christmas.
The main catch being that this time, I don't have chromestar status to help out... If I go down to zero, I have to rely purely on BRM freerolls and pokerschool games.
So starting with $0.04 I played a 990 man hyper... finished in 25th and won $0.10.... I then played a $0.11 $250 gtd finishing around 350th for $0.19 taking my bankroll to $0.20
I then registered in the $0.01 common cents kick off, and the $0.11 event 2, leaving me with $0.08.
Now playing 990 man hypers while waiting for the BRM and pokerschool freerolls, as well as my last privilege freeroll I can play before losing the status...
Gonna be a tough battle... but one I'm determined to prove is possible.

Closing for the night on $5.82....
A "mysterious" and incredibly generous benefactor sent me $5 purely out of his own generosity. Thanks pinn.... I mean mysterious generous man... you're a true gent. I shall be following my usual rule of dealing with generosity.
Ran fairly deep in 2 $0.55 buy in tourneys, but fell just short of the decent money in both. Started well in a $1 horse, but quickly fell to pieces.
I will be playing as many sub $1 tourneys as I can later on today... and aim to play in all Common Cents tourneys.

Yout85 this is one cool adventure that you are embarking on and it will be cool to see and watch your progress. how much time per day do you think you will be devoting to this challenge? I'm interested as it is the kind of challenge I would like to set myself but Feel I don't have the time due to work, so would be interested to hear your take on it.

I'll be playing as many hours as I can damosk... likely between 4 and 12 every day.
Rogerio... the ones I'll be playing will be the open skill league games. A new league table starts on October 3 and they offer monthly prizes, so I have 3 chances at that.

Well this will be a hard challenge mate if you get busted early you wont have a bankroll to continue and will lose interest and stop playing all together so better keep the challenge reasonable where your interest will be the same when you win or lose, anyway good luck keep us updated on how it happens and hopefully you can do it and win some good money, cheers peace out mate have fun at the tables and good luck!

I guess this is the goal no 1 from the new batch With such a goal though, i find it hard that you will try another one at the same time, unless you bust Something that none of us wants, and will be harder to do so, after the anonymous donation. Nice one there pinn whoever you are

That may sound like a crazy challenge $5000.00 by christmas, but i've seen you play, so it can be done. hope you make it and i will look you up on stars and watch your games as usual. don't know if your playing now, did a search but nothing came up. but sometimes the search doesn't work.
Also if you do a lot of posting you can earn $50.00 here at the forum and then deposit that into poker.
So my pervert question is how much you gonna donate to the BRM X-mas home game if you achieve the challenge? and congrats for managing to do the tough part of it from zero to something ($5)

just wondering how this challenge is going, seems yout85 hasn't been to the forum in 26 days, so maybe he has given up on his quest to make $5000.00 by christmas. i've checked a couple of times on stars and i don't see him playing. Any body seen him around?
