I've started lots of these type of quests in the past, and they've always sort of petered out, so the charity aspect should give me the kick in he arse I need to finish one of these things.

Idea is similar to whats been done before, I'm starting with $25, I stop when I hit $2500. $500 will go to Colombianitos. If I can finish before the next ITH convention, I might use the other $2k to turn up there, and show you lot how to really drink Razz

I'll stick to the rigid BR management a la Fergusson:

Quote:
I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).

I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.

If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.


A few personal rules:

-I wont play more than 2 tables simultneously, because quite frankly I suck at multi-tabling.

-If I go broke, I'll reload.

-I'll do this at FT as it's one of the few sites that work through the firewall at work, so I'll be able to get some short sessions in during lunchbreaks Smile

-I aim to put in at least 10 hours per week on the quest

-Anything won through FTP's can be added to the bankroll (starting with 1004 FTP's)

-There is no timeframe..quest finishes when BR hits $2500

I'll post a weekly update showing how I'm getting on.

Wish me luck Smile
