Default 200 on stars to 20,000 in 60 days

I just deposited $200.00 dollars on pokerstars. My goal is to grind this amount up to $20,000 within 60 days. How many people think this is possible? I did grind an amount of under a 100 dollars to 43k in under 60 days before so I know this is possible for me. Wish me luck!

Only 60% to go Busto? You're a generous soul.

And it's people like you that keep the Craps & Roulette tables JAMMIN'.

You could walk into any casino, put just one dollar on #10, spin the wheel just six times and walk away with over two billion dollars (a feat witnessed by John Scarne in Puerto Rico in 1954: SCARNE'S New Complete Guide to Gambling, p. 26).

Yup, it could happen. But it ain't frickin' likely.

The NL forums often have "60k in 60 days" challenges. These are usually long time, full time pros, playing over 20k hands a month of 200NL. And while occationally some meet the goal, most fall far short. It just isn't reasonable.

You would need an unachievable win rate to make 20k in 40k hands at NL200. You would have to get up to a higher limit quickly and win at a good rate to have any sort of chance at all.

I am going to be playing 10% or less of bankroll at a table so the chances of me going busto should be slim. I am new to 2+2 and have not heard about the "60k in 60 days" challenge. I plan on putting in at least 60 hours a week so I think my goal is not unreasonable. What are my odds of getting to 1k before going busto DWarrior?

hard to estimate 1k, too much variance. You have a reasonable chance to hit 1k though. I doubt you'll get to 5.

My degenerate friend would often do these things, he'd regularly get up to 1-2k before going busto. You should play limit, easier to run good for that many hands.
