Tory -- If you look at any of this stuff and find glaring strategic mistakes, please take it to be at the end of a 10-hour 8-tabling session.

Thanks,

IJacket --

Also, I was misclicking roughly once every 25 minutes in those last couple days. Some of them were pretty severe (EV) mistakes.

Inspired by reading your progress, and also being cash-poor online- I too decided to undertake the challenge, I don't have a bet on this prop so there isn't any real money on the line, just looked interesting [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I actually cheated right out the gate and started with a bankroll of $20.00, to dissuade me from the path of the less-righteous, the poker gods immediately dealt me the following hands in the following situations:



Hand #1 $3.40 10 player No Limit Sit N Go - 4 players remain, 3 spots paid. Blinds 200-400 ante 50, dealt JJ on button, folded to me I move all in T2200 - BB calls with AA GG

Hand #2 $1.75 18 player 2 table No Limit Sit N Go - 6 players remain 4 spots paid. Blinds 200-400 ante 50, I raise UTG+1 to T1600 with AA, SB flatcalls, Flop: 7 9 T , SB checks I push all in for T4500, SB calls all in Turn: Q, I'm drawing dead to opponents KJ River: Joker - I still lose

Hand #3 $7.70 Pot Limit Hold Em Multi Table Tournament (360 players max) 54 players remain - 36 places paid - blinds 200-400 - I raise 3.5x BB to T1400 with approx T7800 behind w/ AKo - only BB calls Flop. Ks 8c 5s, BB checks, I bet pot T3500, BB calls, Turn: Ac, Ks 8c 5s, BB checks I push all in T3500, BB calls - River: 4s, Ac Ks 8c 5s - Opponent shows Js Ts for the flush - top 2 pair no good.

At this point I was *officially* ready to start the challenge

1/23/2007 4:00am $ 5.30

I started with one table of $0.01c-0.02c Pot Limit Omaha, and immediately made nice progress putting $2.00 on the table and leaving 20 minutes later with $9.00 and change (In the cash games during this challenge I'll conciously make an effort to leave the table when I double or triple up to protect the bankroll)

Utilizing this strategy I then went to the same game but two tables simultaneously of $0.02c-0.05c blinds Pot Limit Omaha, after not really making any hands (and playing a fairly bland game) I am down to $6.00 and decide to shift gears and play only ONE table of the $0.02c-0.05c PLO. After another half hour I have a decent $12.90.

After a mandatory break involving water, ice, and glass, I'm back to work. I decide to try 1 tabling $3.40 10 man No Limit Hold Em sit n gos, to get my sit n go game back up to snuff.

After a nice run, I'm now 2-3 tabling (2 NLHE sngs, 1 table 9 max 0.02c-0.05c PLO and I've cashed in six sngs straight including 3 straight 1sts plus a heartbreaking beat where AA < JJ AIPF for 5K with 6 players left in a 18 man 6.50 Turbo NLHE [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]- this, including 2 nice triple ups shortstacking $10 buy ins to the $0.10c-0.25c Pot Limit Omaha have the bankroll sitting at $75.52 at the time of Pokerstars 4am server restart.

After a break I'll post some more observations and more results, thanks to Mortal Limit for posting his story, I must say I feel like I've learned two things - not neccesarily *from* this thread - but in the act of playing 15 straight sit-n-gos I have figured out a few things about them (sngs) I never had in years of playing them (poorly)

not trying to hijack and didn't want to start another thread- just wanted to give you kudos - sir



current status *just lost 6tth and won another $3.40 10 man NLHE, plus a few small pots @ $0.05c-0.10c PLO

1/24/2007 4:00am $89.57, will probably start checking out the $6.50s tommorow, if you guys would like me to post the follow up results I will tomm.

yeehaw! just completed my own $5 to a $1000 challenge (stars server shutdown - meant I didn't get paid from a tournament before the week long deadling @ 4am, but I wasn't sticking too closely to any parameters, tahnks Mortal Limit - I have learned quite a bit this week-

Anyhow, I'm so excited I thought I'd offer to stake 5 busto players $5 bucks each to see if they could replicate or even improve upon Mortal's (or myself) finish, while keeping us all entertained with their exploits - maybe they could start a blog or another thread here.

If a poster or mod has an idea about how to pick/award the 5 2+2ers to participate in this I'm all ears - if this even sounds interesting

anyways will check in later on this thread to see what happens
