Do you think 2 years is a reasonable time frame for this challenge

You started again with the best possible way, with good wins, one after another. Dont forget your latest lesson and stay in your comfortable zone. No need to rush it., since the profit you have made so far is a very good one. Already more than double

Update time
G'day mates It is Saturday 3:20 pm and I have just finished my third session of the day. well I have had another positive result. It was a short session of just slightly over 200 hands played. I find myself mentally tires so going to go take a nap before my next session. Started the session with $57.89 and after just 200 hands of poker my new current bankroll is now ...
64.74
wishing you all the best.

It is now Sunday Aug, 16th at 7:50 am. I will begin to play my 1st poker session of the day at 8 am. I will be starting my day with a bankroll of $51.43. Why the lower bankroll you ask? Well it is simple amigos, I played 3 tournaments and 2 spin & go's yesterday and did not cash in any of them. The total cost of those five attempts was $11.75, I also dropped a buy in on a NL2 table during the same bad run of cards. Hoping today to do much better. Will update you all later. wishing you all the best. Ronin

Not a big draw down. That is still in the menu But if you keep performing mostly like you do in the ring games that wont be a problem. You can win the losses back in one good session. So keep your mind to it, and head straight to the cash out goal.

Just thought I would give you all an update. I have been grinding away at the tables. I also tried to play 2 tournaments and i did not make the money in either, so that was a loss of $3.55 worth of buyin's. I Started today with a bankroll of $51.43
The new current bankroll is 56.33
I has been a long day of grinding for what seems like very little gain. I need a nap since I have been awake since 6 am and it is now 3 pm, I did not sleep well last night at all. might play another session later. I will not be playing this weeks Sunday Storm.

I really think that you should stay to your plan which was ring games and grind there. Yesterday you tried tournaments and spin & go with a loss of $11.75 and again today lost $3.55 in tournaments so your BR would be $15.30 more than it is now. Good luck for continuation but just follow your plan.

I will be taking a few days off for health reasons. I am sick and just can not focus on playing well right now. be back at it in a few days Ronin
------------ Update
I friend told me that my message might make people think I have busted out my bankroll. I have not done that, I just am not feeling well physically. I will be taking a break till I feel better. might try a few freeroll or something if I feel up to it. Ronin

Have a good rest to come back in good health and continue your challenge. However i saw that you are playing very long hours that could be stressful and not to good for your health.
IMO you should not play these long sessions there is nothing urgent in getting your goal.

Feeling good and being healthy is very important. If thats not the case, then everything you do, will not have as good results as you could get. Same goes for poker again. All the best for fast recovery and come back to hit that cash out button soon

crash58 ol' buddy I can't afford to play like the pros do, them dudes lose millions in a single game and then go back the next day to do it all again. I like I would rather just play to win big and not make mistakes. I played another good session and my new bankroll is ... Current bankroll 64.39

You have a very good progress again. How much is your goal this time in order to cash out first? Cause if you are not planning to up your limits which i hope you wont at this time, you can cash out 80 in every 100 and then start fresh with 20.

G'day Mates Mober to answer your question here is a copy from the first post which lays things out. I just finished playing a session which ended with a negative result.
Started the session with $69.69. My new current bankroll is ... 68.31
I want to build the bankroll and do cash outs in the following way.
Step 1. Bankroll $75 Build it to $1000 and cash out $200 Step 2. Bankroll $800 Build it to $2000 and cash out $200 Step 3. Bankroll $1800 Build it to $3000 and cash out $300 Step 4. Bankroll $2800 Build it to $4000 and cash out $400 Step 5. Bankroll $3500 Build it to $5000 and cash out $500
Then decide where to go with the $4500 from there.
Hope this answers your question. Wishing you all the best. Ronin

Just played another losing session. It was yet another losing sessions that makes 4 in a row. I am not liking this new trend. I know it is variance but it is frustrating.
Started with $52.19 and I finished down at $46.48

you need more more and more sleep or just simply a day break, you are having bad sessions lastly and a one day off might help you to get raise back again in the week end...

G'day mates I have just had another losing session. I did not even realize things were going so bad until I noticed a few of my tables were not auto topping up after losing a hand. Massive warning bells went off then! I stopped all my tables and looked at my bankroll. I started with $46.48 and I was playing on 8 NL2 tables and 2 NL5 tables. My new current bankroll is just $26.53
I will NOT play another hand of this challenge until I go back and analyze what has been going so wrong over the last 7 stright rounds. I have about 25000 hand to look at and figure my crap out. Will update you later
