Title: jbworldwide's cash and grab!
Post by: jbworldwide on April 19, 2010, 20:44:58 PM
welcome to my new challenge......

jbworldwide"s cash and grab!

for those of you that did not follow my previous challenge "jbworldwide"s holiday fund spin up" it can be found here (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=5022.0)

so I achieved my previous challenge and that made me happy  ;D but then I reviewed my cash stats and it made me sad  :"(

if I hadn"t have heamorraged the money I did on Full Tilt cash , I might not have needed a spin up... anyway....

The headlines are;
-$14  on Pokerstars (results can be found here (http://www.pokertableratings.com/stars-player-search/jbworldwide))
-$421 on Full Tilt (results can be found here (http://www.pokertableratings.com/fulltilt-player-search/jbworldwide))

-$435  is a lot of money to me but I appreciate someone like Paul McGuiness loses that in a night ;)

Conveniently I played across many stakes from 0.01/0.02 up to 0.5/1 so that sets me up for my next challenge

Task; Achieve zero, that is play and grind my way back to zero loss starting with a $50 bankroll.

Rules;
Start at the lowest stakes and only move up when zero is achieved
Only move up when all sites level is complete
Do not play rush poker (rush stats not included  ::))
Post weekly updates (unless I am on holiday  ::))
I can boost my bankroll to be more comfortable at an upper level
Finish at zero

Targets;
50% by 31st July
100% by 30th September

Below are the levels and losses;

Full Tilt   0.01/0.02   PLO SH   -$11   Cap <<< Starts Here
Full Tilt   0.01/0.02   PLO SH   -$5

had to read it 4 times to understand exactly what you are trying to achieve here.

I have a few questions

1. Are those minus numbers, the amount you have won (or lost) at each game/level/site? and you are trying to get each figure back to zero?

If yes then

2. why do the figures not add up to $-435?
3. Do you think it wise, having zeroed all the others, that you play 100NL with only 4 buy ins?

If answer to 1 is no, then

4. what do the minus numbers mean?

Good luck with this....sorry for being so dense

1. Are those minus numbers, the amount you have won (or lost) at each game/level/site? and you are trying to get each figure back to zero? Yes, these are the targets, and I am only picking the games I have lost on to try and improve my game

If yes then

2. why do the figures not add up to $-435? Because I missed one off, thanks for the spot
3. Do you think it wise, having zeroed all the others, that you play 100NL with only 4 buy ins? you added it up more than me lol and i missed one out, now added, no which is why in the rules i have said I can boost my roll to be more comfortable

If answer to 1 is no, then

4. what do the minus numbers mean?

Good luck with this....sorry for being so dense

just to say that I have postponed the cash and grab today as the stats site doesn"t seem to be updating.

as soon as it does I will start, otherwise I will not be able to track where I am
