As you all know pokerstars has fifty50 games where your payout depends on your final chip count, so I figure i'll start a new goal. I'm going to play 100 games $7.00 fifty50. I started with a $15.00 bankroll. I just want to see if I can make a small profit after 100 games. If I go bust then I will add more funds untill I have played all 100. I'll post results here win or lose. i've already started with a few games.

well great start, will be fun to see how it develops, just as doom i am a bigger fan of regular dons, but those 50/50's are playable as well. what catches my eye though is that after 100 games a sure winner will be hookerstars, who will walk away with a cool $32 profit (aka rake). best of lukc, will be rooting for u.

yea but like i said if I go bust i'll just put in more, $15.00 is just what i happen to have at the time.
Just a terrible bankroll management, Fifty50 games require actually a safer bankroll than double or nothing games. Anyways, good luck and don´t bust (although there is a big chance, that you will)

Cheers congratulations for winning those games looks like you are making some money off it. So very nice of you and congratulations and I hope you keep the winnings up. For fifty fifty strategies if you want to hear i tend to very tight even folding JJ and play only premiums at the first levels or two so I can gauge how it is being played and then go super aggressive at the late phase.
