100.00 casino challenge (WSOP)


With Chris Ferguson taking a 0 roll to 10k online, gave me the idea to emulate the challenge live. I will not be starting @ 0.00 but 400.00. The min buy in is 100.00 on 1/2 nlhe, so a bankroll of 400.00 is quite small to start. Will I will bust, probably. But if I can get a good start in the first few games I should be able to make my goal of playing in the WSOP.

My goal will be to create a minimum 3k bank roll for the upcoming WSOP.
Bankroll guide lines:
1) I can buy into any game for 100.00 min or 20% of roll until bankroll reaches 3000.
2) @ 3k I will use a 10% buy in for any cash game and 5% for tournaments.

Much more aggressive than Chris's bankroll guide lines, but this is my first try. I am Starting Monday 2/22/10 and will keep a daily bankroll on my blog. My goal is to play a min of 5 days a week, more if I am feeling good.
I will make my goal,which is why playing poker is clearly a game
of skill and not luck. Cause I am the nutz baby.
2/22/10 Starting Bankroll $400.00

2/22/10 buy in 100.00 ending 300
I was up 400 at one point, but greed got me :)

2/23/10 buy in 100.00 ending 216.00
slow night and the tables died before I could double up again thru an idiot who would call anything if he hit a pair. :(

2/28/10
Have not been playing, felt bad for a bit. Getting back to it Monday :)

3/2/10
Played a while to day and was card dead ending up losing 140.00 with KJ < 45hearts. I rased 10.00 pre and got 4 callers flopped a jack wit 2 hearts I shoved 130 in to a 56.00 pot and a flush draw calls me with crap hand and wins. I have not played since then. Just running bad, I will go back next monday and bust his ass. :)
4/2/10
Have not updated in a while, but have been playing. Played well the first of the week and up close to 500.00 thanks to a 60.00 tournament we chopped for 400 6 ways. Not even sure where my bankroll stands.
Overall this week I am break even after paying bills and a loss of 200.000 to a big stack calling a raise with 10d 2d to my A K. He makes a big bet on the flop and I move all in of course he catches the 3rd diamond on the river. :(
