Mal Clarke & Gareth Witty $20 Pokerstars Challenge

by Mal on February 17, 2010

This poker challenge is to help mal255 and tiltdonkey16 play more poker and with a purpose and also to structure our coverage of our own play within this site.

Challenge Rules

1. Deposit $20 only into Pokerstars
2. Play $0.01/$0.02 until bankroll reaches $60
3. With fifty buy-ins for $1 + $0.20 SNG’s we can now play them, or stick with cash games.
4. When we reach $120 we are allowed to buy into larger MTT’s no that 100 buy-ins for that level has been reached.

Bankroll Rules

We must move down in limits if we reach less than ten buy-ins for the cash games and normally preserve twenty of more. When we are at the lowest level we must persist until we recover or go busto. As we are only starting with $20 and taking it easy this is not money we cannot afford to lose, therefore busto is not so scary.

We can move up levels in the cash games and take a shot with fifteen buy-ins for the next level up. It is fine, however, to remain at one level if you wish.

We must always have fifty buy-ins for SNG tournaments and one hundred buy-ins for MTTs. If we fall below $60 we must grind back up in cash games.

Feedback

We will discuss our progress and hands in the blogs on the site and in our poker forum.

The challenge begins on March 1st 2010 and will be ongoing from then on.

Yep sounds good to me, perhaps we can send HH to Gary for his views. Also I think if we can get a few others into this perhaps a prize for the winner? Like 20 min access to Gary’s Full Tilt account!

Ok I am off to train and prepare and NO GHOSTING (unless I can meet Gary’s price LOL)

Also Possible screencasts from me at some point, lets see.
