Challenge: 5 Buy-in Bank Roll Management

PokerNightInCanada

Hi Poker Enthusiasts & Moderators

Last night I was reading the 2+2 forums, under the "goals" section and stumbled upon this gem: 5 buy-in BRM, all the cool kids are doing it. - Poker Goals & Challenges -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Not sure if this player was successful or not, but I am taking it upon myself to try and complete this challenge. I do not have a time frame for when I will be able to complete, or if this is possible.

I will follow his exact guidelines:
Win 5 Buy-ins @ 10NL = $50.00
Move Up
Win 5 Buyins @ 25NL = $125.00
Move Up
Win 5 Buyins @ 50NL = $250.00
Move Up
Win 5 Buyins @ 100NL =$500
Move Up
Win 5 Buyins @ 200NL =$1,000

-I will play two tables, one of NLHE and one PLO
-I will play at a stake until I have 5 buy-ins for the next stake
*If I drop to 3 buy-ins for that stake I will move down.

Starting Bankroll = $50.00

I know this is complete degeneracy, I just want to see if it is possible.
Will keep you guys posted after my sessions, with key hands and maybe you guys can help spot some and plug some leaks -
I will be using PokerTracker to monitor my results.

Wish me luck! (i'll need it!)

yup circa 2006?

JimmyHo

if you want advice on your hands, might be more useful to show hands where you lost, not where you won. -$5.07 on the night but you are showing a sample hand where you won $4.70.

btw, you might want to also play with a full buy-in all the time instead of playing with $5.22 at a $10 max table. Not sure if this is against the rules?

pretty sure it was 1 min bi though, all the way up to 10 20 or so

PokerNightInCanada

Last night I only grinded for about 2 hours, I will be posting hands i've lost as the challenge progresses.

Hmm, i'm not sure if short stacking was stated in the rules or not?
It's a slight advantage, but if I complete this challenge short stacking - I will repeat the challenge with the 1 buyin rule at all times.

Short Stacking:

10NL - Buy-IN $5.00
25NL - Buy IN $12.50
50NL - Buy-IN $25.00
100NL - Buy-IN $50.00
200NL - Buy-IN $100.00

Once again, if I complete this challenge short stacking - I promise I will do this challenge with 1 full buy-in @ each stake.

Day 2 Results:
NL10 -$8.34
PLO10 +$28.29
Net Profit +$19.95
Current Bankroll $69.95
Summary of NL10, after hand #212, I was leaking like a faucet, missing draws and over playing
TPTK in NL10 - after taking a min. break at hand #295 I was able to re-evaluate my
play and plug some leaks. I was close to breaking even in NL10 - but as I sit now,
I am still down $8.34
Summary of PLO10, I was lucky to be on a table of really poor players. Hand #164 is when
I started day #2 and it looked quite promising, until the following hand occured and put
me on some tilt.
PokerStars - $0.10 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha - 6 players

[/spoil]

I did manage to climb back and make it back from Villian, but he went broke and left the
table.
Overall, I think I am doing quite well in PLO10. I'm currently $30.05 away from going to the
next step of the challenge. I hope to be on Stage II before the end of August.
Cheers.

Yes, you are correct. I went Busto on the Challenge.
Almost made it to Level II.

It's a difficult challenge.

Good luck to anyone that can do it!
