Default Join the Stars-Almost-Busto-SNG-Challenge!

After 2 years of sun,surf and sex in Thailand and playing fulltime poker for a living grinding out small stakes SNG I am busto!

Ok I am not busto but almost busto. I still have exactly 343.70$ in my Stars account. So before I start selling sunglasses at the beach [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I try the following challenge to rebuild my bankroll:

343$ are over 21 buyins for the 16$ turbos. I play 100 with the goal of 20% ROI. After that I play 100 27$ turbos and hope to make 15% ROI. If I am not busto after this I will play 100 60$ turbos and hope to make 10% ROI. I try to finish the challenge with the 114$ turbos and guesstimate 5% ROI.

I played over 5k SNG so far but I have almost no experience at SNG over 100$. (I only like to berate 530$ players for their play like all jealous small stakes player [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

But how different can it be from the homegames... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

The challenge is over when I am busto or after these 400 SNG. I hope to have around 2k then and can continue play the 16$ turbos.

If you like to join the challenge and play may be higher SNG feel free to post your results here.

Yes and I know thats not proper bankroll management. I give me a 50%+ change to complete the challenge.

Best regards
slimbob

Default Gigabob or Gigabusto?

The interesting part of this challenge will come when slimbob busts. I believe in the experience and wisdom of the stt forum and ask you:
Under which conditions should "friends" borrow him money? Should he offer his loan-sharks (e.g. me)
-service as a riksha driver
-availability as a drain cleaner or
-something else more humiliating.
He also offered to apport the darts from my dart board, an idea I like very much.

As slimbob knows I already started out with the challenge. After my first 500 sitngos at stars I cashed out everything except 320$ (20 buy-ins for the 16s) and played 100 16s and 100 27s. At the moment I am running hot at the 60s. Unfortunately by posting this I will have jinxed myself big time, so it won't be possible to borrow slimbob money if he should fail.

No. The military coup is Bangkoks newest tourist attraction.

Nothing to worry about.
