My coaching partner (and arch rival!) benjamin barker and I are running a NLHE challenge against each other. The goal is to start at nl10 and build up a bankroll for nl100, and it's a race measured strictly in time. We both generally play nl100-nl200 as our normal online games.

We are doing this challenge for a few reasons:

1) To build up a bankroll on a new network.
2) Because it's fun!
3) To stay in touch with the climate of microstakes NLHE so that we can more effictively coach our students at these limits.
4) For ultimate bragging rights!

We are always trying to find fun ways to both motivate and instruct our students, and this is what we came up with. It got a lot of interest right away, so we thought we would create a thread here to document our challenge and also give people something fun to sweat. We will also be releasing some videos of our play as well as we rise through the ranks!
