My $2 to $100 challenge

[jimmer]

Just for fun. I haven’t played poker properly for ages now, so thought I would see where I am on the donk scale.

I’m gonna challenge myself to turn £2 into $100. The question for you all is; how long will this take me?

Post your guess’s in total hours. I will only be playing a few hours per week & one table at a time, so this could take time. If I lose my bankroll, I will start again with $2, but the total hours will roleover and accumulate.

I will not be using (what I consider to be) correct bankroll management and will be starting on the $0.02-$0.05 9 seater tables.

I’ll edit this post to update you on my progress everytime I play.

Starting bankroll $2
Total after 1 hour $2.76
Total after 2 hours.......
Total after 3 hours.......
Total after 4 hours.......
Total after 5 hours.......
Total after 6 hours.......
Total after 7 hours.......
Total after 8 hours.......
Total after 9 hours.......

Estimate about 10 BB per hour on a .01 .02 table, that’s .20 an hour that’s 500 hours to make $100.00 at a few (3) hours a week ,that 167 weeks, 3.21 years to be precise. That’s presuming you stick to bankroll management techniques and play the stakes your bankroll can afford.

Just to recap on what i said guys;

I will not be using (what I consider to be) correct bankroll management

............ will be starting on the $0.02-$0.05 9 seater tables.

....which will probably be until i reach $5 - then i will probably move up the stakes.

People are doubting whether I can do this. I love it. Extra pressure to perform and an even bigger incentive to prove them wrong. Keep your votes coming.

You're gonna fail jimmer, and everyone is going to laugh.

It's interesting that no one so far thinks I will make it. Would it be better if I ask you all how bug I can make my bankroll before I give up or run out of funds?

Is my reverse psychology not working yet?

I bet it never gets above $2!

Ah, I see what you did there. So by saying I will fail and everyone will laugh at me - you are actually saying you think i can do it in a few hours and become a hero & role model to you?

I'm flattered - thank you!

Anyone other than jeff, miao and Geno want to have a guess?

[HalfSugar]

Never.

Just let the £2 sit in your account. It won't be long until the US economy has tanked enough that $100 is worth two pounds.

lol last year our AUS $ was worth .65 US cents now $1.08. As poker accounts are all in US $ money held in poker accounts by me has depreciated by 40%.

Now thats a big loss
