Hey guys,

Not sure if we have any poker players here or not, but i've set myself a challenge to try an be a winning player at Turbo heads-up games.

My goal - To start from $1.10 buy-in's and to play consistently and beat $10+1 buy-in levels.

My goals: Mininum of 400+ game's a month, playing 2 table's minimum at a time, this works out about 3 hours worth a poker an evening playing 2 tables, 4 days a week around 120 game's a week.

Blinds in each game are just 3 minutes long, so you need to learn your opponent very quickly.

Just to put in perspective that this won't be any easy feat just to earn a $100 at the lowest level's over 400:-

400 buy-in's @ $1.10 each = $440.

I need to be averaging around 7 wins in every 10 game's.

So let's say 280 wins out of 400 (1st place takes all the money which is $2)

so 280x2 = $560

$560 - $440 = $120 profit.

That's on a basis that i hit my target's I'm starting with $100, so nearly 100 buy-in's the swings (downswings..basically where your favourite to win a lot of pots and you lose consistently in a row) will probably be quite big, but I don't know how big.

I'm hoping within 3 months time I'm consistently beating $2.20 ATLEAST and hopefully I'll be at $5 +.50 level which would mean I'm only one level off from my goal!

I'll keep you guys posted, I have an online bankroll management, and i'll post my graphs/winnings OR losses on the 28th of Next month to show you how i'm progressing.

I need a new challenge and this is motivating me. I hope I can crack it

Yough! I hate poker! And most other card games. I rather stay with Nexuiz.

Anyway, i wish You luck and fun!

Gl & Hf, this is not a simple task

I like Texas Hold'em too, and as the exams period is over, we'll too finally sit around the table with my friends on next Monday

Playing some Texas Hold 'em with friends from time to time, but not on any internet site yet

You seem to be pretty good at it. I wish you luck.
