10th Update ($20.00-$1000 BR Challenge)

Hello people.

I've totally lost track of everything recently. As I've stated numerous times and won't get in to it but basically HEM and PT3 are a no go for the time being and foreseeable future due to problems with them BOTH!


Back to my actual progress with building my roll and the games I'm playing.


Games:

18man(new), 45man, 90man (all turbos + added 90man KO's the odd "few") MTT's (200+ entrants)


Ok, so literally as in today, I've added 18man turbos to my routine. There are a few reasons for this, they are quick to fill up, they don't last very long if I only have a set amount of time to grind and they also seem quite "ok" in terms of profitability and reducing variance. Another positive from them is that they are good for earning VPP's, as each one gets you 1 vpp and you can fit quite easily if you wanted 50+ in a shortish session.

 The only problem was I'm less limited in terms of experience in these and they play quite the same as a 9man STT which I just plain suck at...

Another reason I didn't start them earlier is purely because my bankroll just couldn't handle them. They are no longer $1.00 games, they are now $1.50

I'm plodding along slowly in my grind, but since adding the $1.00 games I've been more motivated to play them because the actual payouts are "good" in a sense of what I've been used to in the 10c/25c/50c games.


Bankroll:     $267.00

Total P/L:  +$217.00




I've played around 1500 games now mainly consisting of 50c games and have profited just over $200.00 so far.

Obviously the goal here is to build and move up limits as soon as possible but reducing the risk of busting my account




Here is my plan for moving up and which stakes I will be adding as I progress,

Current status,

$200+ - 18/45/90man 50c - $1.50 buy-ins.

$350.00 - Add $3.50 18man turbos
$400.00 - Add $2.50 90man (standard speed)
$450.00 - Add $3.50 45man's
$500.00 - Add $2.50 180mans

I will grind all these till I have $1000 in my account and my BR challenge will be done.


I'm hoping now my BR is growing and I'm playing slightly higher stakes that my BR will grow much quicker and I will be done within 2-4 weeks.

I have managed to build up $100 in about a weeks worth of smallish sessions in grinding since I moved to the $1.00 games so I expect it to be quicker. I'd imagine the BR will grow quite quickly indeed once I get to the $500.00 mark and add $3.50 18man/45man and also the $2.50 180 mans!

Time will tell, good luck!
