€500 to €5k Challenge

After the worst month of Poker ive had since Summer last year, i have decided i need something to focus my attentions on.
I often find myself grinding mtts that are too expensive for proper BRM (mostly due to lack of games available on the IPN network) and see crazy BR swings, and i am on a downer with that atm.


After tilt regging the €55 on Boss, and pure bubbling it this evening, add to that 5 x bubbles of the 44e Deepstack, i am starting to get a lil frustrated as i am so confident that the games are so soft on this site, that a €2k roll is enough to cover me to grind properly on there.


I currently use the PCUK skin, however that may be changing soon, and if so i will have to pick another IPN skin to play on, i would choose DTD, with its array of sats for the range of Deepstacks and other live events, but there is no rakeback available, and 30% rakeback is too good not to have.


Im not going to be too strict with the guidelines and rules of this personal challenge but the monetary goal is surpassed by what i want it to be used for.


I want a €2k roll locked on the site eventually, and once there ALL monies over the €2k (at the end of the month) will be withdraw into "poker account" with the bank.  Until there is monies in that account, i wont be play any live events (except for ones already planned).  Obviously this money will be there for live events, covering costs etc as i find all these poker travels take a huge toll on life monies....Im sure im not the only one this happens to.


This acc will stay at €1k max, and all over that will go towards paying off my loan, and then a deposit on a house with my beautiful GF, who supports me in all of my mischievous endeavours!!


Again no time restraints just as yet, but the quicker the better obviously!


Due to boss' lack of games running (its no stars) you will see me playing lots of NL20, and smaller buyins for MTTs up to €11 max, unless i have sattied in.  The softest game on the network are definatly the 44e deep and the 55e games, and will only be looking to play those with rake earnt.....




As i have now a Beta Version of PT4, i will get to updating my HUD and updating graphs as much as possible....but again we may find that i have to withdraw and deposit to a knew IPN skin, dependant on what happens with PCUK.


I cant complain as have turned a free €55 from Poker Heaven, in Oct, into about £2.5k but with only €500 in the PR i need to get to work, oh how i can see alot of hands being grinded in April.


GL to all those at the tables, keep on binking!!!
