OK guys. I decided to make one challenge for myself. I got 20$ free money on Absolute poker. In order to withdraw I need to collect lot of points so I gambled a bit because I didnt take that money serious and then come to an idea to make my challenge. I really like HU on Cereus so I decided my challenge to be HU challenge. I have 20$ on my account and I want to make 500$ profit in one month. If I manage to do that I will make another challenge from 100 to 10k in one year. On beginning I will play buy ins with not more then 5% of my bankroll and wont play in HU with more then 10$ buy in. I will post graphs starting from today.
I would like to hear what you guys think about that. If you think that is too easy I wont be playing it. I would like someone to follow me

I have experience from UB HUs. I did there good. HU on Cereus are good because of slow blind structure. Blinds starting from 5-10 and increasing slowly so there is much more skill involved then in PartyPoker HU for example. Im hoping to have good start...

Is this for real? How in the hell do you do that?
I´m not saying it didn´t happen but I read these "exploits" here sometimes and wonder... What the hell am I doing wrong? Or are these just Poker Brags? Really....

It's izi. Just forget Bankroll managrment. Play with all you have without thinking u're loosing more and more you're loosing just the starting 20$ or smth and if that's blocked even it's easier. I once did 10-500$ in day playing some dons but after i was to weak to go on cause 500$ was nice for me at that time.

GL with your challenge! It is always good to challenge yourself in your abilities, be it poker or other thiings in life. To just stick with safe routine and never push the envelope is dull. Keep us informed!

I wish you all the luck, cause i think your going to need it. HU challenge with just 20 bucks for me seems like a fail before starting. You should try to grow your bankroll playing nl2 or nl5 4 tables at same time and see how is it going for you. 20 Dolars is just too small to play HU, if you get a very though player or a very lucky fish (as it happens everytime at HU tables) you can go busto in less than 1 hour.

It was free money that is very hard to cash out and I have on 3 sites deposited money where I play serious so I decided to give it try. I know it was hard one but but you must make it interesting sometime. After all I didnt lost real money so...
