Woodie Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 This place is like a ghost town at the moment apart from like 2 threads, thought I'd start a thread will last until I guess I go busto :) I havn't played much the last few months started playing a bit last couple weeks won some but withdraw the lot having needing some $$ to keep me going. Anyway challenge is to turn $1 into whatever I can on pokerstars I used up all my fpps a few weeks back so have nothing in there well 122fpps my account is at $1.04!! I would deposit more but really not in a position to do so at the moment so lets see how this goes. I will have no rules I can play what I like but I will try and be sensible with the $$ :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Re: $1 to $$???? I love these challenges - the ultimate test of poker skill and discipline - anyone can buy in at stupid stakes and get lucky - but only the best can grind nothing into something ;) Good luck Woody :ok Will be interesting to see how you cope with the discipline side with no specific rules - I fear it will prove all too easy to get ahead of yourself - but look forward to you proving me wrong :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Re: $1 to $$???? Thanks guys. I was thinking the hardest part is the first couple of dollars and hope I hope i've past that already :D I played 0.01/0.02 omaha for a few hands and won $0.76 I then played 4 $0.25 45man non turbo sngs I cashed in two of them winning a total of $2.23 which was a 5th and a 2nd place finish :) I gambled a little and played a total of 11 $1.50 heads up non turbos and won $8.34 so a great start! Bankroll now stands at = $12.37 Not sure what I'll play next mayve the $0.25 as a safe option. Here's a quick screenshot of my holdemmanager for today in the sngs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodie Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Re: $1 to $$???? I've decided to quit playing online poker for the time being not sure for how long but it's proberly going to be for a long time, I'm just not going to have the time anymore to put in any serious hours to make it worthwhile and I have more important stuff to concentrate on. If I have a spare few hours in the evening I might try and play a pl added game but apart from that, that will prob be the only time I play online from now on. My ending balance was $33.40 with 1425 fpps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
