A 25-year-old dude from Toronto who wants to go back to school for history lessons and pay for it playing poker.

Eh mates! thank you all for the encouragement and comments on my first Blog post as an official Mob blogger. I do feel I should point out that my first post was an oldie from my old blog on here so I may seem repetitive here with my goals list, but the main part of this BP is for the 100k challenge.

So lets get right into that shall we: The other day i finally ousted my best finish in a 100k freeroll of 9th by finishing 4th for an $82 win (no re-buys no add ons) and though I was a bit perturbed about not taking it down, I realise a) I made 82 bucks from a freeroll and b) It leaves me three spots to oust my best again!

So the Challenge is not one for you but for myself, the way I see it I've been in a lull for years (not just in poker but that's another story lol) and I think a humbling of sorts is in order. So what I plan to do is build a $420 bankroll playing only freerolls and not using re-buys or add ons.

This means only; 100k Freerolls, Star rolls, PS league (play this for the league anyway), and our favourite donk-fest the BRM league freeroll lol. As a side goal to this Donk slaying venture id also like to make prem league for PS and cash the brm league. should be fun right!

This is getting a little long so I'm going to wrap this up, as I'm starting to get deeper in this 100k and I aint writing a novel!! I'll leave my goals list for the next post plan to do a 3 month 12 month and 5 year set of goal which I will be putting some serious thought into trying to keep things realistic but still a challenge. So thank you all for reading, I look forward to your comments and will leave you with one of my favourite quotes.

having goals is a very good goal Smile ok now back to the odd thing: why the $420 figure... for more eye catching move you could've opted for $418.67 or just stuck with the more usual $400-500?
anyways as always i can only wish you (and every other mobbits out there) to succeed with your goals and never give up if things don't go according to plan.

In Canada and some other places 420 is a special number lol April 20th is sort of an unofficial holiday of pot Agree And I 100% having goals is indeed a very good goal i find those whose goal is to have no goals lack a certain ambition and drive Tongue thanks for the post pochui cheers Thumbs Up
 Theapple22/08/2014 08:49:38 GMT
meh challenge, that one is easy why not set the bar a bit higher ? Big Smile

seriously now, good luck with your challenge because you are gonna need it. You are gonna cashout every once in a while though, and not wait til you hit 100k to cashout, right? Tongue

not say how playing micros with br of $91,938 wouldnt be fun but still... -.-

cashed that 100k not as deep as I wanted to got hit with a mega cooler around 150 people left got my Queens all in pre against pocket aces and kings, the aces held lol also picked up a few ps points and a small cash for 20th in the brm league. I wont have a laptop for a couple days so was nice to get a little start before i go mia. oh also got knocked out of the next 100k bout 35 mins in running queens into aces lol funny world eh

@The apple cheers mate! that's jokes playing freerolls till a hundred grand lmfao my corpse will rot before i finish that quest! And it would be a hoot playing micros with that balance lol somebody starts giving you crap and your like well i got 90k mofu! then you can show the screen shot when they want proof ROFL!!!

@LIKEIT27 cheers to you as well me amigo thanks for the support!

Good luck with this - it will get frustrating, so just try not to let it bother you.

One thing I think you may have overlooked - You will only be able to play the 100k freeroll when ChromeStar, but won't keep that if you're only playing freerolls... I guess once a month you could withdraw $10 then deposit $10 again at the start of the next month with bonus code 100k... Would that be breaking your rules?
 jeffaboy22/08/2014 14:06:54 GMT
I like your goals mate good luck with them Smile and i like your cat aswell haha Big Smile cheers and i hope u make it at the tables Big Smile
 marqis22/08/2014 14:20:08 GMT

You're in it for the long haul then...
Good luck!
 Heskor22/08/2014 14:35:08 GMT
Cheers mate nice first blog post and good luck in your challenge yeah you always regret the what if you have not busted, you could have gone far if it was not for that hand and so on but at the end of the day you will have to deal with it and just let it ride as one day if you lucky you will get to the jackpot also if you work harder the luck will come more often, somebody told me this and i tend to work hard even in freerolls. Also very nice picture in your post, donkey in a bulls eye picture lol. Anyway have fun and good luck mate at the tables!

Yes,...wishing HUGE success...!!! Smile Thumbs Up Dollar

4:20...? At 4:20pm on April 20th,.....EVERYbody's blowin' FATTies..... Big Smile Worship

4:20....731 times per year.... Big Smile

I got an idea from this thread,... Maybe PS should add a 'Leaderboard' element to the $100K Priviledge Freerolls somehow,....similar to the 1 or 3 month ones BrM does... Question

This is a very optimistic goal to reach because these freeroll's are notoriously difficult to cash in. I wish you all the best in this venture and i look forward to reading regular updates
 ammytyagi25/08/2014 18:44:25 GMT
Min cash from 100k is very easy but getting in top 100 is difficult. Good luck for your goal.
 Fakiry25/08/2014 18:57:28 GMT
That was a very nice result you got on that freeroll. You know it won't be easy to beat that record of yours, but it's possible, you already know how to do it: playing the same way you played this one. I guess you may tell us next time you were one of the first to be eliminated the next time you try it because it's so easy to be put away from this by some donk it's almost unbelievable there are really nice players who get to the final levels in order to get the money from the paid places. I never had what it takes to be paid on the 100k Freeroll, but i guess i only played once or twice with attention, max, so it's not that bad. Good luck for the next times!
 pokershark7426/08/2014 20:45:59 GMT
@ yout for now i have tickets from my last deposit ideally i will reach my goal before running out of the or my chrome.

Nope he still doing fine,
But it takes a lot off effort you have to know Icm-------Equity-----.
U can use programs to keep track off youre play but also keep track,.
Of how many times youre opponent 3bet and is he agr % vpip%
And all the stuff its hard to do all the things but you will be getting way better then iff you dont look at it..
