June Contest...

[Talking Poker]

Reloading for my last $1.05. Looks like I'll be busted in a minute here.

Yup, just lost an all in (to a shorter stack) with my 66 vs his ATo. Down to $3.70 now. LOL.

[Talking Poker]

80 hands played that session.

That was annoying.

[GeoffM]

Ouch!

I doubt anyone will be able to build up to $500. I may take a stab at this later on this month, but for now I am taking a week off (aside from playing some raked at Party for the points).

Anyway, I was going to suggest, you guys should have played split pot games. First, your bankroll will almost always increase, and secondly when you scoop a pot in O8 it's almost like winning an all-in on a hold'em table.

[Talking Poker]

Go for it. If you are playing raked hands at Party, why not sit with $25 or less and count the hands toward this?

[ChipFish]

I have 95 cents left...
onto the .05/.10 limit table until I get enough for NL then all in or bust.

[GeoffM]

I plan on it, just haven't been playing much poker the last week or so due to prior engagements.

Again though, I doubt anyone here will be able to build to $500 within a month on $25, but I guess that is part of the challenge.

YEAH BABY!
Right Back in this! LOL

[Talking Poker]

I disagree. I think it's very doable. I don't have the discipline to do it right, but I know there are people here who do.

Check out Chip on the comeback trail! I should have done the same thing when I was down to 3 bucks, rather than pushing my stack in and losing to running spades.

[Aequitas58]

Last week, I had $29. Right now, I'm at $231.

[BrianSwa]

I built $25 into $2,000 in about a month....of course I got very lucky and nothing had to do with good play but It is doable. I will start mine later tonight right now in to many tornies at jetset.

Not sure where im gonna play though will keep you all informed.

Ending Session 1
Current Bankroll: $32.45
Total Hands Played: 37

Only had about 45 minutes to play on my lunch hour.

Oh what could have been during this session... only played 37 hands and got dealt A-A twice, K-K once and Q-Q once. First time with the As I got busted by a set after a pot size raise pre-flop, thankfully the guy was just about out of $$ so I only lost $4.25 on that hand. Next time with the As (and same with the Qs) I make a pot size pre-flop raise and get no callers. With the Ks I get one caller who promptly folds after the flop (net = $1.10). So, with those four starting hands I lost $2.45. My best hand came when I held KJo and hit a set of Js on the flop... netted $7.55.

By the way, there's no chance I'll be able to play enough hands to come close in this contest, but thought it would be fun to come along for the ride!

[GeoffM]

Lou, I hear that.

TP, you're right. I can't see myself getting this amount because I would have soooo much sitting around and I would just get plain bored.
