I see no problem with this goal. Just make sure that you quit if you lose $10 in a day. It's not going to work out well if you win $10 5 times in a row and then go off for $100.

OP are you that PBody5205, right? What time of the day you usually play? I play 1/2 fixed too. You should quit if you lose $20 and play next day again. $10-$20 stoploss, have you decided it?

Thanks for the replies everyone. The whole point of this is to NOT move up limits chasing losses, or play over my head. Over the years I've played a lot of poker, from .50/1.00 limit - 3/6 limit, various sit n goes, and some NL. I've had runs where I had a good couple weeks at a limit, quickly moved up, got my ass kicked, and tried to stay at the higher limit even though I wasn't playing well and my bankroll had dropped below what I should have to play.

I know I'm playing on a short bankroll and doing something different from the normal way of beating online poker. Honestly, I know that I can't beat online poker right now and don't have the time to invest in becoming a winning player. I enjoy the game and thought that this little challenge might be a fun way to get into blogging and possibly make a little money. It won't be the end of the world of I go "broke" on this, just trying to have some fun and try something different.

There are better ways to improve your $100 roll. Beginning of march I started with a little over 100. Using no less than 50 buyins for SNGS and no less than 100 buiyins for MTTs I am now over $500, without ever risking my roll.

OP, I would suggest reading the strategy forums here as well as get a couple good books. 2+2 sells these as well. You've come to the right place, but I think your strategy is way off.

Spend 30 minutes per day here EVERY Day First before you play.
It will greatly increase your win rate.

It did pre-UIGEA.

When your competition is bad enough often enough, it's almost impossible to lose. Nowadays, the completely incompetent player is almost non-existent though.

You could change amount you are going to win per day if your bankroll will be bigger. For example if you will win 70 days in a row, you have $800. Then is no matter to win just $10 per day, maybe $40 would be better. Maybe earlier, after 30 days when you have $400, you could try to win $20 per day. If I had $700, I would play $1/$2 and if I would lose $40 I would play $2/$4, maybe even $3/$6 and $5/$10 but risk would be very big if doing like that. Still doing well after 7 days?

I'm going to agree with Kirg here. Say you won an unheard of 90% of your sessions. Your probability of winning 42 sessions straight is less than 1%.

So your chance of winning 100 straight days is almost impossible. Factor in that you are only playing an hour or so per day, this challenge should be over within a week.

i thought the government rigged online poker because i stopped playing for awhile after the UIGEA. I came back and couldn't just shove all in with KK AA and make money. Sucks.

That will be true some days for the biggest donk in the world. It's what keeps them coming back.

Poker is deceptive - when the cards run for you you feel it is easy money. And then they turn their faces away...

What Ertai2 wrote is correct also, if in fact you are a winning player. Which is not guaranteed.

A stop-win method of playing is terrible.

You will be self-selecting bad tables over the year.

A goal is one thing. This is not attainable.

Let me share some math with you.

Even if you're the best player in the world. You outplay all the donks and your luck holds up MORE than it should: Let's give your odds of making $10 a day (on average) 95%.

Now we try to go 100 days in a row winning $10.

You're actually a 70% favourite to make $70 over a week.

100 days tho? Your odds go from 90% down to a WHOPPING 0.60%

Sure there will be losing days, but based on OPs posts, blogs and general attitude, he does not have the skill, patience, discipline or control to stop when he's behind. He will lose more than $25 on the days that he's behind imo, and only (tiltingly) make it back around 10% of the time imo.

What I'm saying is this won't work. And we're not bashing him because he has goals. We're actually trying to help him not lose his $100 roll.

(btw, since OP posted this 5 days ago and has most likely ignored us, I lay 5:1 that his roll is already gone)

There is a blog called 10adaypoker.blogspot.com. He wrote to that blog less than 24 hours ago and he has won 7 days in a row now. Bankroll is about 200 dollars.

I think good start is important in this anyway. You can do better bankroll management if you survive 10-20 days at least. What you would say how much better chances he has if bankroll grows to let's say $300 than in beginning with only $100? Bad thing is that he plays $1/$2 short limit where good bankroll should be $1000.

Don't listen to this poster. He steals money when you stake him

That blog should make for a good train wreck. I expect him to get stuck sometime and lose a few days profits in no time. Put a few days like that back to back and he'll be busto.

$100 just can't be good bankroll management at $1/$2 limit.
