Default The dtbog $25NL to $1000NL challenge one more time

If you haven't read the origional thread, here it is. I reccommend you read it as it's a lot of fun and one of the main reasons I turned from lurker to poster.

Anyway, I've been running kinda bad lately, and rather than drop down to $100 or take a break, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this challenge.

The challenge is, starting at $25NL with 4 buy ins ($100) and playing. When you get to 4 buyins for the next level you stop, post screenshot to brag about it here, then move up to the next level. Everytime you get to 4 buy-ins for the next level, you move up. The plan is to eventually get to $1000NL

So the most you could lose is just $100. You can get a lot of good experience on the way and have some fun too.

Who else wants to join? I'm sure whoever gets the furthest could get a custom title if they wanted and we get enough people trying.

Personally, I've been thinking about doing this for a week or so. Today I sat at a few really good $200NL tables and played well and would've been up a few buyins had it not been for some bad beats. I then thought, theres no point doing this challenge, $200NL is just too juicy. But then I saw a BBV post where grim posted his stats and showed he was running at 29/24 preflop and had a steal rate of over 50%. So I decided I would try this challenge but attempt to play LAG, 3bet more preflop and cold call less.

I am in.

FWIW I am likely to LAG it up too much against the calling stations and just lose $100, but what the hell...

Yeah...I don't think moving to $25 to try out LAG plays like 3 barrelling is going to be a good idea....but it sure as hell will be fun [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
