    Default Operation: Turn $50 into $1050 in 30 days-DON style

    So, I don't hear much about people going on challenges and posting results in a pre-determined amount of time on here. Personally, this is why I love playing poker-to challenge yourself.
    I just recently withdrew my poker roll on Cake and left $50 in it specifically for this challenge.
    My challenge:
    * Turn $50 into $1050 in 30 days by playing strict BM (20 buy-ins)
    *ONLY playing Double-Or-Nothing SNG on Cake
    *Will move up stakes according to my 20 buy-in rule
    *I recieve 33% rakeback, weekly
    *I MUST play a mandatory 50 $2.20 DON sng's before moving up to $5.35 DON, even if properly rolled for $5.35
    * Start date: 09/21/2009
    * End date: 10/20/2009

    I work a full-time job in a restaraunt, which will make this more difficult. This means I will play long hours at night and will be multi-tabling anywhere from 4-15 tables at a time depending on buy-in amount. Every Monday I will post my daily results.....and if anyone is curious, I am playing on Cake (Fubu) and my account name is "RichSpeirs", if anyone would like to Sharkscope my stats and progress.
    To make things interesting, if I achieve this goal....I will spend no less than $150 of my roll at the FTR store to prove as a loyal FTR member. Comprende?!
    READY, SET, GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    I would estimate that you would need to 12 table 3-4 hours everyday with a good ROI to achieve this. Nakamura would be able to give you a better idea though.

    Sweet... Sounds awesome.

    This month I've I made $967 and change on Stars mostly 18-tabling the $10.80. Only 40 hours though coz my connection was bad until TLR helped me fix it. I'm running really goot though (Yes! I'm breaking double figures!). I'm aiming for my first 2k month though, which some money from full tizzle and some bonus money. It's going to be hard work though.

    Edit, if anyone is wondering why my operation isn't updated, my bankroll is in 3 different currencies and my roll isn't clearly defined anymore. I have enough to play 20 $10.40 DONs at once (i.e more than 2K) and that's all that really matters. I hope to have a new blog/operation up and running soon.

    In June I turned $25 into 1100 in 30 days....annnddd I didn't have RB. I'm working more hours this month so my poker playing time is a cut a little. This was only 4-6 tabling around 5-6 hrs/day.

    That's a very tidy result. I assume this was on Cake? I struggled initially on Cake, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Play is a lot looser, so you can loosen up your value betting requirements, set-mine and chase draws a bit more (not too much tho!)

    Anyone that voted no want to take a prop bet with me that Richard can't do it?

    PS Turning $50 into $1000 sounds so much cooler

    Nice. Why not leave the cash there and try and do the same thing from the $10s upwards?

    Well, I've postponed play until further notice....because I have a family emergency and have to travel to my home state for about a week. But I will set a different date when I get back.
    It took around 20 days to jump from $2 to $5 to $10, and finally to $25 DON....I made my last $550 in one week playing the $25.....
    ANYONE that has time and is consistant can do it. $50 DON are a challenge, I might add. I gave them a quick shot but wimped out and stuck to $25DON.
    Thanks for the props Nakamura!!! I'll see you at the tables in about a week or so....actually 2 weeks, cause itll take me a week or so to get to the $10 DON :P
