Bankroll Challenge: Slaughtering Fish
December 1, 2007
I’m getting well into the Bankroll Challenge. Forget playing for higher stakes, violent swings, tilt etc, this is the future of poker!
Having started with $3 last month, I’m now up to $142 on the micro stakes. The plan is never to sit at a cash table with more than 5% of the bankroll - but when you start these things you have to be flexible.
At $3 I played the 2c/5c tables, now I’m up to the dizzy heights of 5c/10c! I’m being a bit naughty because I’m sitting down at four six-handed tables at a time with the full $10 buy-in on each, but it seems to be working at the mo. The standard of some of the play down here is woeful, to say the least. The number of fish is of biblical-miracle proportions!
But, and it’s a big but, you have to play pretty much ABC poker - no point in fancy moves or bluffs, someone will call you down with bottom pair!
The plan is to stick with 5c/10c until I get to $400 roll, then I’ll move up to 10c/25c.
We’re doing something similar over on the PartyPoker blog, although we get people there to start with $25 so they can hit the ground running. James “HullJimi” Greenwood is our current star bankroll challenger, so wish him luck.
Anyone else doing/done a challenge?
EDIT: After a decent session after writing this, I’m now up to $182. Many fishy types around today!
