My second $10k poker challenge

I have given this some thought and I have absolutely nothing to lose by doing this and a lot to gain. Having already completed my first $0~$10,000 poker challenge and with it now 10 years since I completed it, what a great idea to try and repeat it. I’ve now got 10 more years experience and I think I can beat the 4 1/2 years it took last time. But it is not a race, it would be great to finish a second challenge and I doubt anyone is daft enough to do it again.....l

The rules are the same, the only thing different is my starting stake. There’s not really that many free rolls about that are not value. I see no point trying to make a few cents by playing countless free rolls with thousands of players involved. Although I may change that if I find a site that offers a decent chance of winning something. If I do not, I will start at $1.

This is not official as of yet, I am still deciding which site is best to my needs and so I am still in the finding stage. Once I have finally chosen the site, I will update this thread along with the rules.

Day 12

Sigh....... Yes that says it all. Even with another couple of hours play tonight, I went to reg for the €3k Sunday Freeroll and says I’m still not played enough raked hands to qualify. I did however qualify for the €1000 tomorrow afternoon at 5pm. I’m going to have to play some more to get me into the other game and if I have the same luck like I did tonight, then I’ll be lucky if I have enough to sit back down again when it’s time to grind again next week. Today’s session was painful and these stakes are driving me insane. I started to look at some Mtt’s and I may still be tempted to play those instead. They do have tournaments for like 55c and €1 and not forgetting my ticket to. But these little staked tournaments run like a normal bigger tournaments with 10 minute blinds and a decent starting stack, so don’t be surprised if I get side tracked in the near future. Binking one of those should get me out of the 1/2c cash games which are killing me. Today was another bad day. I ran a b...

Day 11

I played for about 2 hours today and I was up then down and up again, but nothing really happened for me today. No big hands, poor player pool with limpers and calling stations, so I couldn’t bluff quite as often as I like. But I went with it and ended with a small loss overall for today. I think I might of done enough to play the €3k freeroll on Sunday, but I’m planning on playing Friday, possible two tables if it’s busy enough.

Day 6

So this is the second update and I some how manage to play over 100 raked hands with a lot from day 5. This gets me into the €3,000 free roll again on Sunday the 28th, but it also gets me into a Saturday freeroll with €1,000. Unfortunately though, I didn’t rake 100 hands in the last 24 hrs which means I start with the minimum chips of 1000, those who raked over the 100 hands start with 3500 and I’m always going to struggle. It proves a lot harder than I thought with no hands to play either and I go out before the cash. I must say though, any sit outs in these tournaments get kicked after level 1 and so you are left with mostly players who want to play. I then play some more cash games to try and get to 400 raked hands so I can start with the 3500 chips, I fail and I also lose again, but not just cash, a sit n go and a 55c tournament to. It’s a disaster, I’m down to less than $2 about $1,74 to be precise and I stop playing for the day / night. Below is the screenshot of my demise. ...
