I'm decent at SNGs, suck at cash game, and bad at BRM. So please laugh at me now. I'm sick of blowing my BR time and again at cash games that I cannot comprehend apparently.

So I am playing 18 man SNGs, for now, on PS. I deposited $100 a few days ago and started with the $1.75 18 mans. I will post my progress in this thread for fun.

My BR for the lower buyins ($1-10) will be anywhere from 30-50 buyins. I will follow probably 70 buyins minimum once I get to the $16 turbos.

4/27/10: +$4.80, 24 SNGs $1.75 18 players, 11.42% ROI, BR: $104.80
4/28/10: +$26.6, 16 SNGS $3.40 18 players, 48.9% ROI, BR: $131.40

Before you laugh that I still have no BRM because I'm already playing $3.40s, I have a $50 stellar reward about to hit in 20 vpps, so I think it is sufficient BR for now...besides my BRM doesn't really suck for SNGs, it sucks for blowing it on cash games.

With that said, I will have almost no time to play for the next 2 weeks, so I'm already at a disadvantage.

And yes, I know this goal is no biggie, but for me it kinda is.

$10K to $100K in a year? I'd get laughed at. I just thought it would be fun to try this at $100, something almost anyone can deposit.

Don't you think all people deposit about the same amount with about the same goal, to win as much as possible as soon as posible? Like 54656165 people?

No I think some people deposit it on there to blow it. I'm not one, but I have mainly because I've played cash games. Is there a way to ban yourself from just cash games?

Let me guess your master plan is to play breakeven poker, yet have a huge following, and have Pstars make you an online pro so you can get a 100K?
Seriously shameful all this self promotion on 2+2.....

If you suck at poker, how do you expect to win? How bout $100 to $1000 in a year? I think that's more realistic for you.

Because there are a lot of people making 100k from poker in a year right? Yet you will do it as a $1.75 sng player now.

i really hate myself because i always open these threads hoping that it will be someone coming in to brag about how they turned 100 into 100k, but then its always some loser who thinks that he will do it.
