Blackbelt Poker 6-max turbo Double or Nothing Challenge

[deadlydaveLDN]

My history of completing challenges is not good. However I don't think many/any of the past ones have had a clear/easily achievable target. This one does, so that will hopefully make me keep going with it. I recently played a couple of live tournaments. Although I didn't cash in either I've come to the conclusion that they are seriously soft, and want to play more. But I don't plan on spending several thousand every month playing in them at a stage where that would kill my bankroll if I run bad for a few months. Enter Black Belt Poker http://www.blackbeltpoker.com/rewards/rewards/ I won't bore you with all the details, but essentially it's really a complex rakeback deal, where you can purcahse live tournament entries or be staked for live tournaments. I've decided that the quickest way to earn belt points is 6-max turbo double or nothings. I will be playing from $11 to $33. Obviously I need to win 55% to break even. I am currently a Orange Belt, meaning I earn 4pts/$ raked. I think I can probably rake around $50/hr, or 200pts. Essentially by the end of this month I will be Purple Belt comfortably. At which point it will be 5pts/$ raked, or 250pts/hr. Again, it will be pretty easy (assuming I'm breaking even/winning in these things) to reach Green Belt. That is the point the challenge will really begin. I think I'll have to play close to 150hrs of mind numbing double or nothings in February to reach Blue Belt (which is where the staking deal begins) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware I have massively criticized this format of poker before. And I still hate it, I just think it's the easiest way to reach my goal. Not sure exactly what I'm going to post in this thread. Probably the occasional bankroll/belt points update. Starting out with a bankroll of £200. I will be more than happy to just break even, but the standard of play I've seen so far, I think a winning % of around 60% is probably going to be quite easy.
