Hello fellow mobsters,
I have been thinking about a new bankroll challenge and i made one up for myself :
I will deposit a little bit of the spare cash i got (30) EU to the ipoker platform 770 poker, the reason i have chosen this platform for is the following :
The Ipoker platform offers the feature of Twister sit and go's which are hyper sng's with 3 players.
Those are offered in 4 sizes;
1 EU buyin , 2 Eu buyin ,5 EU buyin and 10 EU buyin and basically you can win anywhere from 2x your buyin till 1000x your buyin. as mostly you will win x2 your buyin there is also times where you see 10x or even 20x the buyin.
My challenge is the following :
Start playing with 30 EU bankroll and as i have a lot of free time till i go on a four week holliday to spain next week i will be playing probably 5 hours a day till 10 hours a day when i do not have to work.
I will start with playing 2 EU twister's and my goals will be the following :
[X] win 5 games in a row [] double initial bank [] get to 120+ Eu to start playing 5 Eu sng's [] get to 300 EU+ to play 10 EU sng's [] cash out 50 EU everytime i get above 350 EU [] play and win a x50 or more buy in sng
I realize the goals i have set are really hard to accomplish but they are not impossible and to the people who are interested i will try to keep all of you updated as much as i can.
Lots of love and goodluck in life and at the tables <3 jeff
------------ After about 4/5 hours total of playing i am now up about 12 EU so the total bankroll now is at a woop woooop 42 EU not a bad night for me and now i will go to bed and grab some sleep goodnight fellow mobbs

Hello fellow mobsters.
Targets certainly the locking on. Good luck at tables.
The twister not really is pleasant to me but it is possible to play. The twister is more similar to a lottery than to the real game SnG. 500 counters of an initial stack force to play you not by rules and in process of stack decrease.
But also prizes corresponding. Naturally most often drops out doubled buy-in (2, 4, 10 and 20 EU) but something drops out also more. My biggest prize 50 EU.

Hi mobbs
Indeed @Mykola the small chip size and the speed of the blinds do force you to play different than normally yet tho if you are able to play that way and get dealt even a bit of proper hands you are able to make a nice profit and btw nice prize of 50 EU that ain't bad at all.
@macubaas thanks alot for the support it is nice to see that people like to read the story and give their feedback to it means alot to me
Ill be grinding the tables now for a few hours till i have to do my regular job and probably a few more hours after that aswell peace guys and goodluck in life & and at the tables

Hey jeffaboy, Good luck with your challenge.When the twister games first started I saw lots of criticism about them,saying it's just bingo players etc but after playing quite a lot of them I saw the occasional bingo allin player but it seemed to play like the normal turbo SnG strategy or inexperienced/new players playing as if it was a normal tournament. Obviously the prize money has to be weighted towards winning double the buy in most of the time but if you are a decent player and win consistently you will make money,if you get lucky and get the big prizes it can soon add up.If you have the time to play hundreds of them you could quickly achieve your targets so post your results and let us know.

Hi, everybody.
I communicate with people not only at this forum. At other forum I have friends who won 1000 EU. I know 3 persons who won this money. I wasn't lucky to win so much money yet. But I don't despair. Sometime "our day will come". But how many passion when turns "a fate wheel" and you wait and you hope that the maximum prize will drop out .

Yes, it is sad.
If so to be upset it is very bad. There is such bad luck when are moved a card premium very absolutely bad or when the continuous bad luck, no good cards come. It happens very often.
Accept it everything as is. Certainly more pleasant to win than to lose and if lost with good cards against bad it it is twice unpleasant.

Isnt it a bit of a gamble with 30 euro to play such games? Not only are sng's of 1$ and up but they are hyper turbos. Of course you may get lucky and hit one of the jackpots which pays big, in relation with your buy in. But how often do they give away a jackpot? Anyway, good luck with your goal

Yes it is quite a gamble but the 30 EU is not something i really mind if i just enjoy myself playing , and i used to play normal Hyper HU aswell quite a lot and indeed the jackpot chances are really low that is why i do not count on the jackpot but only on the x2 x3 and sometimes x5 your buyin but now i have found one of my favourite sites fulltiltpoker having jackpot Sng's so i have withdrawn the funds i had on the previous site and switched to Fulltilt with $33 bankroll to start off same challenge tho

That is quite awesome @IQA but imagine the feeling you will get when you buy yourself in for 2$ and you end up to play headsup in the end for $750 or $1k i mean i would be quite amazed
------------ The first Goal has been made , I have managed to win 5 sit and go's in a row feeling : - pretty cool

Hi, everybody.
Fulltilt so Fulltilt. I wish good luck on the new. Can to you there will carry more, it as the sniper "made some successful shots - change a position".
For a long time I didn't play on Fulltilt, and now I tried the SnG jackpot. While the account goes not to my advantage 2:1 (3 times I played and constantly 2 dollars dropped out only).

Allright The bad news is someone just grabbed the jackpot in front of my nose yet the good news is that i had the luck to be dealt into $100 one , i asked the other guys do you want to cut a deal?? yet i got no response from them at all. so i decided to play, kept a bit tight while the other 2 were quite as they say a loose cannon. found one of them almost knocking the other out before i knocked him out by doubling x2 on him with top two pair vs his middle pair and my trips vs his low pair. then i took the final chips of the last guy and B00m oh happy daysss

Hey, one question - how many tables did you play at once while grinding them? Just single tabling because the format is fast? I myself found playing 3 continously is pretty comfortable (playing 20+ on Stars usually).
