Eeezee Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 From £50 to €15,000!Hey guys,I go by the nickname Eeezee. I am in my forties and I have been playing poker for over twenty years. I have had some profitable stints over the years but I have never really approached the game with the discipline and structure necessary to rise through the ranks, so to speak. I originally joined Unibet to start a bankroll challenge but I got a little bit side-tracked by some of the casino games before I even really got started! Just recently, though, I have been reading through this forum and I have been inspired by some of the blogs here. One I particularly like is RaulonY’s 35€ to 1000€ Challenge. It got me to thinking that perhaps I should recommit to my own bankroll challenge and blog about my results. So, here goes. My ObjectiveMy objective is to turn the £50 I deposited this morning into €15,000. Clearly, this is no easy task and it will take time but I don’t really mind how long it takes to get there, I am a grinder! My Approach to Bankroll ManagementLike Raul, I will be beginning with an aggressive bankroll management strategy. I’ll be playing an aggressive short stack strategy and following this simple chart: Table SS Buy In € Number of Buy Ins Total BR €10NL 5 10 50 20NL 12.50 20 25050NL 25 30 750100NL 50 40 2000200NL 100 50 5000400NL 200 75 15000 The reason I have structured it this way is mainly to account for the increasing skill levels as I move up the stakes. I’m confident I can beat 10NL with a relatively small bankroll, I’m not so confident I’ll be able to beat 400NL with such a small bankroll. Increasing the amount of Buy Ins as I move up the stakes also cushions me against the inevitable variance.I won’t be taking any shots. I’ll be playing at each level until I reach the required bankroll for the next level as per the chart above. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. When I encounter the inevitable downswings, I will try to stay at the current level as long as possible but I will move down if necessary, particularly if I feel like I am being outplayed at any given level.One thing I will be doing is playing a few tournaments to the value of one Buy In at whatever level I’m at whenever I have more than double my minimum Buy In for that level. So with €100+, for example, I’ll start playing occasional €5 tournaments to see if I can’t give my bankroll challenge a little boost here and there. I also still have a couple of freeroll tickets left which I’ll be playing soon. The Basic Principles That I Will FollowAgain, like Raul, I will never play sessions longer than two hours. Likewise, I will not play unless I can fit at least an hour of playtime in. Shorter session time availability adds pressure that can quickly turn to tilt.I will aim to play at least ten hours a week but I will have to fit this around my other work.I will stick religiously to the bankroll management outlined above.I will plug my leaks, mainly meaning I’ll try to manage tilt better and stay away from casino games.I will try to post a brief field report at the end of each day I grind and readers can view the spreadsheet of my results here: https://bit.ly/£50-€15000I will screenshot my balance in my field reports up to the first €2,000. After that it won’t make sense to do so any further because I will never retain more than €2,000 in my account. The rest of my bankroll will instead be stored in my bank account. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
