    Default operation $3000 by 03/20

    ok, here's the deal: both becuase I couldn't get off of work and because I'm broke, I'm stuck not going anywhere for spring break. so I've decided that I'm going to get my bankroll up to $3000 by the end of spring break. currently my bankroll is at $770, so I know this sounds next to impossible. however, I have a lot of large deposit bonuses that I haven't finished clearning yet, and they are facotoring heavily into this. so here's how those look right now:

    Eurobet: need 1500 more points to clear $600 bonus
    Betsson: haven't started, 4200 for $600
    Doyle's Room: need 45,000 more action points for $550

    Eurobet will be the biggest grind of this, but once I finish that I think it's pretty smooth sailing. the points will rack up a lot quicker after that because I'll be able to move up to 2/4.

    so, here's the plan:


    Sunday, 03/12:
    2500 hands at Eurobet, 8-tabling 1/2

    Monday, 03/13
    2500 hands at Eurobet, 8-tabling 1/2, withdraw

    Tuesday, 03/14
    start betson, log in 2400 hands 8-tabling 2/4

    Wednesday, 03/15
    2400 hands at betsson, 8-tabling 2/4

    Thursday, 03/16
    finish betsson, 8-tabling 2/4, withdraw

    Friday, 03/17
    deposit into both Doyle's Room and Full Tilt
    Doyle's Room: play till I have 90,000 action points, playing 2/4 and 3/6 4-tabling
    Full Tilt: play 4-tables, match Doyle's room,

    Saturday, 03/18
    Doyle's Room: finish bonus, withdraw
    Full Tilt: match doyle's room, perhaps put in some more hands afterwards, e-mail support and ask for more tables

    Sunday, 03/19
    Continue playing 3/6 at full tilt, collecting bonuses and rakeback.

    I'll have updates on my blog: www.thebankroll.blogspot.com and i'll post daily updates here.

    Wow. Goodluck sir.

    I read somewhere that the FT bonus + rakeback was a huge waste of time, I may be wrong though.

    well, i look into it, they have a decent amount of action, and even though the bonus clears slow, with rakeback I think it's totally worth the time if you're playing 3/6+

    ok, i'm done with day 1.Here's the update:

    Current Bankroll: $810
    Hands Played: 2100
    winrate: 0.95BB/100
    bonus cleared: $90 (only $67 left!)

    ok, so I took some rough beats earlier in then day was stuck $80 at one point. I made a nice comeback later in the evening, finishing +$40 for the day, plus clearing $90 in bonus. I overestimated how many hands it would take to clear the eurobet bonus, so I kind of cut my total number of hands a little short.

    Tomorrow, since I'll be getting my $600, I'm going to go ahead and move up to 2/4, because the way I see it, i'm effectively playing on a $1400 bankroll. this way I can finish the Eurobet bonus in about 1000 hands, and hopefully the withdraw won't take too long, and I can get ahead of schedule and start working on Betsson.

    day 2 update: cleared the Eurobet $600 bonus!!

    bankroll: $1489
    hands played: 1437
    winrate: 0.65BB/100

    did ok today, playing mostly 2/4. table selection got pretty bad late at night, at one point they only had 3 full ring 2/4 games going.

    i also may have run into a stumbling block, because I've heard the betsson bonus expired on 3/12 . oh well, I may do the pokerroom 30% up to $200, 7x bonus as a replacement, but if I can't do Betsson, I may not be able to hit the 3k mark. we'll see what happens.
