I just cashed out $1,000 to pay bills and it left me with $61. I've paid All of my bills playing poker for almost 5 years, starting with $100 and i've not once busted. This is the closest I havecome. I will play 30 hours per week and Run my bankroll to 10k by the end of the year. I have only 104FPPs and $61.95 in my account and I already cashed out my $2,000 this month. Starting July 5th I will cash out $1,000 every 5th and 20th. This will be done on Pokerstars as Ucancallmemr. Good luck to me

I think he stands a chance. Try to keep a BR for yourself to play with though !

Good luck to you sir.

Thank you for the support. My 2 big cashes were 1st in Sunday 2nd chance for 48k+ and 4th in warmup for 30k. I will need some luck on my side to get rolling but I think I can do it. If not- time to get a job for 1st time in 5 years. I would prefer to get staked and play bigger than do this challenge but it always seems so complicated. Time to get my grind on!

i was going to say go to the staking forum in the marketplace but i think you need to be a member for 6 months to use it. with your stats though this challenge is definitely doable. gl

with those stats OP could easily get a stake with a couple references.

I've never been staked before. How do you go about getting a reference?

With your SS stats it really wouldn't be hard getting staked.

You are a cert to be staked if you really are who you say you are. You have to be careful about how you ask for staking on 2p2 cos you can get insta banned.
one way to get a reference of sorts would be to get a repected twoper to watch you play using the sn you've mentioned. maybe pm a mod and ask for help. that won't vouch for your character however. wow on those stats

Its been a grind though because I play too low of stakes for almost 2 years now to make much more than my bills. This challenge to 10k should be a start and limiting myself to cash out just 2k/month whereas it was 3500 in the past.

I think you are telling a porkie about never going busto from your $100 deposit, Your sharkscope low point is almost $15k so either u were a cash game genius as soon as you started or you are lying. You might be able to do it you might not. I would be concerened that you havent shipped anything in a LONG time so maybe as the fields have gotten tougher you havent adapted but good luck man.

Sadly with taxes and some bad financial decisions I can only grind to get back to that point. Don't know why I feel I have to defend myself but I don't like the implication of being called a liar.
