I'm a pro and the 60k in 60 days challenge

[PocketElevens]

Hi all, fairly new to the site.

Im trying to follow his progress in this thread and hoping somone help me decrypt it.

will be 4-6 tabling 10/20 6max on party. I've never put in lots of hours over an extended period of time, so this will be a new experience for me. It will be a bit of a paycut from 2-3 tabling 30/60, but it's a lot easier to do. I guess I will either post updates in here or start a journal. There is a problem. I only have 3k in party and it's tough for me to deposit more money so let's hope I don't go on a downswing at first!

OP shares his poker plan with us. Starts with 3K on party


[ QUOTE ]
Ok, I played about 1500 hands of 10/20. I was up about 1k early, then at the end of the session I was down $70. I got pissed off and there were two fish sitting at 30/60 HU and I thought "why am I doing this?" and proceeded to play with them. F this. I realized 5 minutes into it there was no way I could do this for more than a few days.

[/ QUOTE ]
After being down $70 after 1500 hands, decides to not follow through with the plan and move up in stakes now.



[ QUOTE ]
kurosh just tilted off $6000 to me headsup 100/200.

[/ QUOTE ]

At this point he must of accumulated that $6000 playing his new higher stakes, If I read on hes still playing so he was up more then this 6K.


[ QUOTE ]
My poker roll is now 20k. KUROSH IS NOT GOING BUSTO. I don't know how a 175BB downswing equates to 30k when I'm playing 30/60 95% of the time. This is how you go broke on a 175BB downswing when you had a 1000BB roll for your level.

[/ QUOTE ]
Even though he lost 6K heads up, he has his roll from 3K to 20K


[ QUOTE ]
I have actually. I built up my roll again from 3k to 30k grinding it out from 3/6 to 10/20 mostly.

[/ QUOTE ]
At some point he dropped back to 3K and is now shot up to 30K? (this is where I start getting confused, did he go broke and redeposit the 3k? or did he drop to the 3k and come back)

[ QUOTE ]
Last night my party account was down to 1k so I played 50/100 to see if I could get enough to multitable again, but I was playing fine. Now I get to wait a few days until I can deposit again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this the account he just ran from 3K to 30K?


[ QUOTE ]
No, I did, but, I wasn't the guy he saw tilting away money this morning. I initially only had 3k in my account because firepay is a bitch. I had it up to 4k or some such, enough to 4-table 20/40. Then I ran bad and only had enough to 1-table 20/40. I figured it would be much more +EV for me to see if I could make a quick 2k-3k so I could multitable the juicy games again instead of playing somewhere else.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sort of suggests the 3K in the party account only ever made it to 4K. But theres a post saying he tilted of 6K HU.

If anyone could clearify whats going on I'd appreaciate it.
I'm enjoying reading the thread and wish good luck to OP.

Pocket Elevens,

As I understand it:

Kurosh's total bankroll was/is around 20k, only 3k was ever on Party, the 6k HU loss was on stars. Kurosh went bust on Party, a reload is now pending.

Hello Pocketelevens,

There is so much you have missed. The Kurosh saga goes back many many months. He is the 2p2 poster boy for playing above your bankroll. I recommend searching the archives.

Thanks alot. I figured there was more then 1 account being posted about.
I was trying to follow his progress on the original post to make 60K in 60 days on party.

So my understanding of his progress so far is.

1 - deposits 3k on party.
2 - plays 1500 hands, loses $70 and ups the stakes
3 - at some point gets up to 4k
4 - ends up down to 1K
5 - loses last 1K at $100-$200
6 - will deposit more in a few days and try again.

correct?

Kurosh is staying with me at the Wyndham. Just thought I would make that announcement to all. I'm so excited, it's going to be hard to sleep tonight. Now I'll finally be able to see the anguish of bad beats and poor bankroll management written on his face, instead of written on 2p2. Life is good.

I am jealous, but I just had a great idea. 2+2 should set him up with a webcam, and make it part of the site. They can call it the TiltCam or the KuroshKam or something catchy like that. That page could be the biggest ad revenue generator on the entire site.

OMG. Genius.

Has someone registered www.theslowroadbroke.com yet?

Just take the plunge and make Kurosh into a reality TV show. Unfortunately the best title, "TILT", is already taken.

Season 2!

Matador beats the rap by rigging the jury.

Kurosh takes him on in a $2k/$4k crazy-pineapple heads-up death-match.

The Lee nickel guy shows up and it's at THAT point that Kurosh realizes he's been had. Matador has rigged the deck.
Lee Nickel guy does his weird drama-face indicating that he's still frustrated he lost, knew he was taking on a cheater, but still doesn't understand how such a loss was possible.
Kurosh says, "I'm +EV heads-up against anyone. I don't care about no freaking rigged-deck. I can out-play anyone."
Metetron is waiting on the rail to take on the winner.

that episode should be leading towards the end of the season. we need some character building though. kurosh should be an all-state wrestler from his high school who falls in love with a beautiful girl. hes ripped like a [censored]. the girl turns out to be a whore and treats him like [censored]. kurosh falls heartbroken and lays in his bed for almost an entire year refusing to eat. his ripped abdomen soon turns to jelly and in an attempt to get his lost love back she gets him kicked out of college by making up a story and lying to the board. thats when kurosh decides its time to pursue his dream of poker stardom. he runs up his bankroll online until noone wants to play him in heads up any longer in erik123 fashion. in an attempt to find games and face new levels of competition he moves out to las vegas and thats when he meets the matador.
