Ok so as i said $50 starting capital
$1.10 SNG 6/10 seaters turbo/reg whatever
play 500 show profit/loss
no time limit its a race!
ok so im gonna start this when john shouts up and lets me know when they accept uKash as i lose money in fees otherwise, so next week by what john told me
I will run a report after each 10 initially depending how i do each day this may increase or decrease.
at the end i will ask john to verify i have played 500 SnG games consistently and also that i have not uploaded funds and that everything is above board,
anyone who wishes to join the challenge please state so that we can all start at the same time.

Posted by nebu: only on bigbetpoker? how can i look up my earning in sng only?
sharkscope should bring it up for you.
or there is a ledger in cashier that lists it perhaps john can tell you more
I can see it from my side but there's no option to view it as a player. Sharkscope will show this info for you or if you give me permission then I can post it here (you'd need to email me this).

Ok here we go, screenshot is the start heres how im going to run the challenge
$50-$120 _ playing $1.10 SnG games now i may have to play 6 seaters as well due to the current traffic on BBP.
$120-$240 playing $2.20 SnG games again may have to play Short handed to deal with traffic
$240 + $5 SnG again may have to play short handed again lets see how it pans out
ALL SnG games Qualifiy INC bounty SnG games (these fill up pretty quick) as long as the game has SnG in its name then i CAN play it as long as i stick to the rule of BR up above.
I begin Now
------------ Ok first 10 games played cashed in two for some reason im struggling, perhaps its becuase im not fully focused, im getting called a lot with crap to my raises but this is what happens the aim isnt to roll as much money outta every game more be in them with a chance to win LOL
im feeling rather so will take a break soon
im on game 11 atm prob get to game 15 and have a rest for a few hours have some food and go from there,
Im slightly behind than i originally planned becuase of the traffic to the site at this level. im forced to play DON's ( i hate these games)
so 10 games lost 8 won 2 total winnings $7 wich puts me around a $3 loss in 10 games wich isnt too bad i guess,
More to come
Anyone who wants to follow progress John will be updating thread at some stage perhaps monday.
anyone who wants to watch at all my username is :godzofpokerz
and if i suck out on any of you....MEH
------------ ps, the screen shot was too big but im sure john will confirm i started with $50
------------ Hit a snag, cant get any tables filled at $1 SnG games so moving on up to play the $2 games as well

Good luck gaz. Nice to see that the challenge has began. I'm going to ask for the ND offers at BBP now, so may be I'll be follow your steps in a couple of S&Gs. Beginning is always tough but for sure you will get better results later.

Well what a awfull day,
25 SnG games i have plaed in total card dead is a understatment, damn i hate these under $5 SnG games.
I hit a few games took a few down dollar dazzler ( i think it was called that) played in some bounty games (my fav)
to be fair its not all bad my BR is down to $30 and some cents,
Im not overly bothered becuase its about a race to play 500 games.
I did have a few issues today tho.
1. the games didnt fill up fast enough had to move to 2.20 stakes
2. when i opened more than two tables it went daft he froze i got white screens black screens non responding software, when i rebooted it it went back to normal. I am hoping this is a glitch at my end and not that of BBP software im sure i will find out tommorow.
to be honest its hurt me playin SnG games becuase im simply not used to them AS FOR THE DON's jesus christ! I refuse to go near one of them again!
all in all to only be $20 is ok, i mean i can come back refreshed tommorow and start again, i pulled away because i am getting tired 10 hours i have played with about 2 15 min breaks (NOT RECOMMENDED)
im normally happy with this BUT becuase i normaly have a MTT open and a Cash just sitting and looking at a SnG is soul destroying
hands have been standard, saying that i got such a tight image on one SnG they folded my blinds and folded to ANY bet. that was a good table, went on to win that lol nearly got cuaght at the end but laid JJ down to a KA7 flop.
next hand i got KK he got JJ he shoved i tanked ...then called game over
right im proper foooked its took it well outta me today
catch u all tommorow have a good night
------------ here we go again DAY 2
------------ off to a good start won 2 lost two BR $33 LOL
------------ Thats 50 FOLKS!
SADLY my BR is somewhat depleted, standing at a mere $20 its time for a change in style i find it difficult apose to most this challenge as i am used to playin MTT and CASH but 50 games in i am fairly optimistic about the next 50 lol varience has not been kind the times i got my chips in ahead was sick only to be outdrawn such is life, im starting to see a few regs there now so picking up a few things on them
------------ Correction on last game 1/6 - total BR now $27
------------ up to 55 games played now just gonna have a quick break me head hurts
------------ OK so now completed 60 SnG games, got my BR back up to $45 str8 flushed FH and TRIPS to clean a few tables out sorted me right out! NOW we r cooking on some gas!

ok so this is it up to 70 SnG games played now not bad for 2 days work played 45 games today started off in a shocking downward spirral it really did affect me, i shut the game down went for a bite to eat a few smokes and a few bottles of lucazade, felt better after that and hit a little streak of wins to get my BR from $13 back to $45.
Its been frustrating so many cards i should have played so many i should have folded.
Ok so heres the standing atm
BR- $48.49 games played 75 EDITED added up wrong
END of day 2 no games tommorow im way to busy wit stuff bk onto it tues/weds/thurs night, if i run thru them like i have today i might get it done by thursday LOL
