After the first month of the challenge my bankroll has risen from it’s original $40 to $213. In month 1 I played 12,750 hands in ring games and 23 STTs.
I started the month playing 2NL cash games which I beat for 21BB/100, not fantastic I know but this was my first venture into cash games. To begin I was playing quite passively but I’ve stepped up the aggression as the month has gone on. After a couple of weeks I’d taken my bankroll over the $100 mark and moved up to 5NL, lost $17 over 600 hands and promptly moved back down again. I consistently beat 2NL over a week and had a second go at 5NL; playing 2500 hands for something like 2BB/100.
At about the same time I began playing $5 STTs, to great affect. I played 22 in a week for $85 profit (70% ROI), taking my bankroll over $200, allowing me to move up to a higher level again. This only happened last night but I managed to get 150 hands in for a $6 profit at 10NL. I’ll be moving up to $10 STTs this evening. The next bankroll targets are $400 for $20 STTs and $500 for 25NL.
The following is my ring game profit graph for the first month:
My goals for month 2 are:
More hands than in month 1
More profit than in month 1
Beat 10NL/$10 STTs
Play 100+ STTs
Improve post flop play
