$2 SnG bankroll project

scuba211 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-21-2006, 08:21 PM

I have not played on CDpoker in a few months. Yesterday they emailed me saying they gave me $5 in my account to play. I went to the $2 (6 person) turbo SnG. Well the first to games I played I won both so since I have a few more dollars in my account I am going to try a little project. I am going to play until broke. I am going to only play these SnG's. When I make enough that the next buy in amount is 10% of my backroll I will keep moving up a level. (example: when I have $50 I will play the $5 buy in, at $100 move to the $10 buy in etc..)
The buy in is $2 + $0.40 fee, Top 2 get paid. 1st is $8.40 2nd is $3.60
I will keep playing until broke and wont drop a level if my BR gets lower.
Lets see how much I make
Wish me luck

I suggest you read the standard SNG bankroll info before you go broke and whine to us about it...

its an experiment... personally im willing to see how far he decides to continue the experiment if he keeps winning.. eventually one would have to think for a moment and say "holy shit i have a ton of money" and stop before they start losing it all...

Its just an experiment with money that CDpoker gave to me, I guess to play again at there site. If I lose oh well. It didn't come from my orginal BR. Now that I think about it more, I might put a limit on it and cashout if I do get the BR up high but I will let it ride unless I get over maybe $500

I dont think the decision to not move down is a good option.

Once you hit a certain amount you begin risking too much, it doesn''t matter where the seed money came from, you earned the rest.

i will say in doing this you are going to go broke a VAST majority of the time

and thats coming from somone who plays predominantly sngs online

just keep playing HU SnGs for all or half your money and see what happens.. itll go faster that way

I really think you should drop back levels as you drop below the 10% requirement of your experiment. Would make you last at least twice as long! Can we take side-bets on your results?

5 bux says he busts before he hits $500.

No offense scuba but a pro like Dan N would have to run extremely good to pull what your trying off.

i really think you should play with 40+ buyins if you are going to play sngs.

50+ for speeds.

i like to have 60 buyins before i moved up limits, little buffer zone for tougher competition and if i decide to move back down (which has not happened yet

)
