I would also like to be in this group. My roll is around 4k hoping to turn it into 14k by the end of summer.

Is this going to be like a study group, or is it more of an encouragement to grind / check up on how everyone is doing kind of thing?

I'd like to think that it will be a combination of both.

The main purpose would be to encourage those to grind over the sumnmer and stick to their challenge. Though there will be sweat sessions so that people can improve their game, along with a Skype chat group.

I still haven't got word about the Skype chat group :X

This is the Skype group. Let me know if you have trouble joining etc.

along with long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners on the beach

Mmmmm, sure thing.

Skype group is up!! Not a ton of people there yet.

PM me your Skype sceen-name and I'll add you

Hi! I like to join your group, but I´ll have to join during the challenge because I will be doing school leaving exam and I´ll be out of home for a while. I mean like during june. I hope it´s not a problem for you. This idea is really cool
My goal for summer is start with $150-200 and grind it up. Mtts, sngs, sometime cg.

Great idea! I would like to get in as well.
My goal would be to go from 500$ to 5.000$ by the 1st september.
I'm going to grind SNG's, with the intensions to play at least play 500 every weak.

I'm kinda in the same situation as Danger, I won't be able to start until June 21st cause of exams, but id really like to join. My goal would be to grind $300 into $1000 playing cash.

I am actually too stupid to post on the blog...can't figure out how...can someone give me a hand here

What can't you figure out? Once you've signed into your google, or whatever account there will be a blue bar on top of the blog page. One link will say "New Post" and you can post through there. Add the appropriate label to your post depending on what you're posting about. Let me know if you need more help.

haha i posted that after a 7 hour tourney, i just wasn't paying attention, thanks though

Finished college but got exams til late june.. then its party time

I'd be down to join. Finished up working last month and am heading off to grad school this fall. Since I don't have a job at the moment I decided to give poker a serious shot. I've known I could win online if I took it seriously, despite always overplaying a bankroll, and have had some pretty good success playing on a local live circuit. So far I've turned my $100 BR into $700. I have no real goals, but just seeing how far I can go with it. Would be nice to have someone to talk to as I do it.

Been playing 5/10/20 9max SNG's on Tilt and Stars, some Rush MTT's, $25NL, $50NL, both std and Rush.

im in the exact same position...i figure i could make more money doing this through the summer (and have a lot more fun and freedom) then getting a job

I would be interested also. Ive logged 590 sit and gos and am looking to improve my winrate and be part of a group to learn better strategies and player eading skills. I have a healthy bankroll for the limits i play and would be very interested in your group.

Hey guys, my internet at home has been down for a couple of days for some reason, and I'm actually just out at the moment on another wireless connection.

I will do my best to PM the rest with interest who I have yet to PM, then I will post the starting spreadsheet tomorrow!

Cheers,
- Jim

I couldn't PM you, as you're too new. When I'm able to PM you, I will though. Just might be a week late. Sorry, just very hard for me to keep on top of everything as it is. Would be harder without the ability to PM.

- Jim

I'll join this group. I'll send my info soon.

Great idea for a thread CliffLee ! Good to have some comradery building a roll. My BR is $430 looking to hit $2000 by end of summer.

Quick update:

The blog already has 18 authors with another 10 or so pending acceptance in their e-mails! This is going swimmingly!

I will be posting the spreadsheet either tonight or tomorrow morning on the blog, and probably the first one in here as well.

I've been extremely busy both with this and IRL (tennis, volleyball and swimming take up an assload of time, I'm sure you can imagine). Also, my home internet has been down a frustrating 3 days now, so I'm LANning at a friend's at the moment.

Anyways, because of that, I will have to post the spreadsheet tonight, or more likely tomorrow!

Sorry about the inconvenience guys, I don't mean to be unreliable . This post is also posted up at the blog for people that are more frequently checking that!

- Jim

i am interested.

who do i PM

This is basically the same as me, im goin from just over $600 to $2000,

because or goals are so similar, we could maybe keep in contact to see how we are getting on, because this group is gettin big and our goal is basically identical.

Wat games/stakes/formats do u play? Playing style? Site?
