The question of the experiment was simple: Can one take $5-$15, win a small MTT, and turn that original capital investment into $1000 in a week. I guess the next question is can it be repeated.

I think it is worth asking. You risk minimal amounts of your capital bankroll so technically you are playing in the affordable range of your bankroll. While $300 on a 30/60 table, while way too little, is enough to find a hand or two and make $1000. It is not as hard as it might seem. Every pot is at least $400. It is not FLUSHING money away as everyone thinks. It may not be the optimal way to make money, but there is a very good chance of turning that $300 into $1K. I have done it before people. Call it lucky. But I have done it multiple times. It is not impossible. As a matter of fact, with the play I have watched and participated in, I would say it would be probably. The only chance it does not happen is if I get sucked out on.

You all have this awe of anyone playing 30/60. Grow up people. They are the same as you, they just have more cash. As a matter of fact I would put a bunch of you up against any of the players I have seen there, and if you did not wet your pants because you were so scared, I bet you would outplay them. There are sites where the 30/60 players are much better than you are. I would be scared myself if I was playing on those sites, but I am not. I am playing in some freaking retard Poker dream world where people try and catch there 2-outers all the time. I keep pinching myself and hoping they do not run out of money before I get some.

Anyway, the experiment is closed for now. I will let you know if I decide to try it again. Oh, and yeah I will say it again, $300 is not a huge amount of money.

If this is true, then you should be depositing $2000 online into this site RIGHT NOW. Why do you need to wait to win a roll if these games are so bad? I have to imagine you've got that lying around somewhere with a close to 200K income.

Considering this very board just recently had a 'Build Your Bankroll' contest starting with $50 IIRC, I think a few people here are taking this a little too seriously.

I like keeping Poker as a hobby. Trying to make some money at it, but not losing anything. I do not want to invest 2K into a hobby. It is better as a $200 once a year kind of thing. Either someday I win alot or I do not.. either way it stays a hobby this way.
