The $10,000 Challenge

I have been thinking very hard over the past few weeks of taking on a challenge that I have been tempted to do for quite some time. This is turning nothing into $10,000 and seeing how long it would actually take me.

An online pro friend of mine has challenged me to a £1000 bet, he thinks that I cannot do it and to be honest he may be right. The way to go is to start off with the freeroll tournaments and then slowly work your way up. There is a time limit of 1 year which seems like an awful long time but I dont really know if I have the discipline at the micro limits.

 I have always fancied having a crack at turning thin air into $10,000 but when you think about it then that $10,000 turns out to be poor value because of the sheer length of time that it would take to achieve…..if I ever could at all.

This may just be one of those things that sounds great in theory but is better left that way….at least for the time being that is. At this moment in time when I have been out of action for so long then grinding it out in freerolls and micro limits is not what I really want to be doing in the immediate future.

I think that you really need differing personality traits to succeed at various levels. This of course ridicules the suggestion that higher limit players could beat levels below what they are currently playing at. The patient low limit grinders will turn into sharks and the sharks will become fish food…..dont like the thought of that.

Oh, nearly forgot, great session in the 25-50 and in fact best session for 6 months……$17k in around 4 hours or so before the game broke. I really hope that some of these guys stick around.

Hope that you do too
