this is mainly for mrnugger but any 1 can view the link on my progress, i gonna play play 30 SnGs (omaha high and low) 9 seater table or 18 seaters havnt made my mind up, this is all new to me how am doing this keeping up dates on my games which i have played, got the idea from photolong, when he he did his BAP so photolong does my spreadsheet look familiar
I havnt decided what stakes il be playing $1.10 agame or $2.25 cause obviously, im wanting to have the right ammount of money to do all the 30 games, at the moment i have enough for the $1.10 but might mix it up if im winning to play a $2.25 inbetween games,
at the moment i have $33.00 to play all the 30 games, so mrnugger i will be willing to give you 50% of the profits if thats ok with you, if you have any ideas which would improve this or make it better for you please tell me, do you like this idea?
this will prob take me at least 3 weeks to do as i wont be rushing things will be starting this on monday,

What site? You have no reason to play the $2.25 games, they will only hurt your bankroll, stick to 30x BI for each level, so when you have $67.50 then play them games. 30BI should be OK if you can play a decent game. GL and have fun.
il be playing at Full Tilt............. but il rather be playing the $2.25 game cause theres always games avilable, for omaha h/l not many at $1.10......................... but like you said it will hurt my bankroll if i play them $2.25 il see what mrnugger has to say....

Sounds great dozn!
Just some thoughts about the bankroll thing, adding to B1gfoot`s comments.
I have NEVER let my bankroll spiral down, it takes a lot of discipline but is doable, so here`s my advice:
You are now at 30x buy-ins for 1.10. You can take the risk of playing the 2.25`s now, but if your bankroll hits 20x buy-in instead of increasing, due to bad luck or whatever, you must STOP! No more 2.25`s!
Then you are at a level that if you want to guarantee the safety of your bankroll, you MUST go down to the 1.10`s. Even if you have to wait for players, games, whatever, don`t take anymore risks playing the higher limit. The chance of losing it all is too great. This is the hard part and takes discipline. Just realise that you will be gambling if you keep playing the 2.25`s, and you know what`s happened too often before....
NEVER go lower than a 15-20 buy-in to play a game. your bankroll can disappear in a flash. when you get back up to 30x, you can move to the 2.25`s again.
IMO, there are NO exceptions to this rule. NONE!
you will be playing "scared money/bankroll" if you do, and your chances of building up again will be much lower than when you are feeling confident that you are hitting the correct limits. Don`t underestimate this factor of "playing scared", it`s a biggy, and the reason why I believe most people lose their bankrolls. You have to play "confidently", thinking only of the game, with absolutely NO worries in the back of your mind. Only then can you play your "A" game. That`s a fact. Undisputable.

Love how you consider playing 30 $1/$2 SnGs over a period of 3 weeks "grinding". Gotta love dozn01
P.S. Full tilt is s**t for omaha 8 sngs, you should really move to pokerstars for that, ans as long as you avoid the nanaconda you should find the competition quite easy

ok dozn01 , you would like to have my thinkings about this . I know that you just want to do for good and i respect that so i will be open in my comments . First off all , i start to become a bit nervous with my name mentioned in title of some threads , it has given already enough food for sinless discussions . Secondly , at this point do i have the feeling that you talk and think as my wife >>> she change her mind to much also . first she wants to do this , than that and than again something different . I am completely different , i like to make my mind up once and that's it however that i am open for other choices also . So dozn01 , you can try your challenge if you want , i am not against and i am not going to support it also as i am a bit tired of this situation because if you will not succeed with this than coming up again with something else and after a while it will be a never ending story . I do not want to offend you with my opinion but you asked for it so i responded it in a honnest way . no need for me to tell you ... yes i like it and it's great and outstanding when i don't think in such way . So m8 , put up the challenge for yourself but not for me or both of us .

okey, of ccourse , but what do you say if i say that many pots is split pots? i played omaha h/l(sat down on wrong table once and kept playing for a while) once and i thought there were more split pots than other games.

DOZNO1,i think it is good that u are trying to give something back to mrnugger but after that honest reply i think u should just concentrate on your game and play at your own time,no need to try and impress people(not that im saying u are)but just play your own game and good luck at the table and i agree that u should play the 1.10$ sngs as u dont want to play with scared money as that is 1thing i agree with island jack about as you shouldnt be worrying about money when you are playing at the table,its not a good combination and u dont play your a game,gl and hope u earn more

I dont get it really, why set urself a challenge like this? Just giv him the money back if u feel so, wot is it $25/$50? Just pass him the money and ur guilty feeling is gone. U dont need this challenge imo.
! Nice reply man.
