The first update on the 40 to 10k challenge

I had such a nice chart made out for this but it didnt work out like I wanted so I will have to do this the old fashion way. On Friday I played at some 5/10 cent and ended with a negative 1.03 for the day. Had a couple suckouts nothing too bad but that stung in my bottom line. Sit n gos didnt help my cause either. I ended with a loss of 5.40 for the day. It was one of those days were middle pairs would be getting beat by top pair with weak kicker. My losses for the day were 6.43

Saturday I didnt play that much because I had to fulfill my 20 year old college male duties. I played for about an hour at 5/10 cent and doubled up to eight only to lose 3.90 for the day. The last hand was brutal I raised with AK and the flop came A 8 4, I went allin because the guy was a maniac and paying people off with middle pairs. He called and hit his J on the river (AJ). I also played one sit n go and lost to runner runner flush. That cost me a buck twenty. That brings my losses of the day to 5.10.

Now sunday was my day to play. I felt good today and it started out slow by cashing only once out of my first 4 tournies. After that I went on to cash in 4 of the 5 I played afterwards with 3 wins and 1 second. So for the day I played in 10 sit n gos and won 7.50 on the day.

This brought my net loss for the weekend to -2.37. I liked this because I was telling my friends I was trying for this and was joking I was gonna make it to zero before I even got back to 40. Right now my br stands at 36.31

$50 to 10k Bankroll Challenge

The time has come. I have accepted the bankroll challenge. I am planning on turning $40 into $10k. I will start by playing 2.40 turbo sitngos and $4 in 5/10 cent table games. When I reach $150 I will move up to 5.50 sitngos and the 10/25 cent. After that we will see how it goes. I will keep you updated throughout the week with a breakdown blog from each day.

playing well

About the last month or so I have been in the zone. Since I was fired from my last job it has kinda awakened me. I have been playing the best poker of my life to date. The only downfall is now I have been running cold.. you know what I'm talking about: the pocket pairs getting cracked by two under cards, runner runner straights and flushes.. I'm not getting discouraged however finally I've realized that poker is a long term game and my plays are profitable in the long run. Ive always known this I think I'm just starting to accept it more and more as each day passes. As I do this I notice myself progressing.

Another thing I'm starting to do is play within my BR. This was my biggest weakness and finally I have began to correct it. Do not get wrong I have played outside of it but I don't like the constant grind so I chance it every now again. I have faith in myself to not religiously play outside it anymore to ruin the little roll I built.

Well I am gonna get back to the $1 rebuy. Goodnite.
