Bankroll Challenge Day #1

So based on my rules for bankroll playing I decided that it would be best to start at the 1c-2c 9 player tables on UB. The max buy-in they allow is $4 so I started sitting at just one table.

Table 1. $.01-$.02: Buy-in $4
Got into a great spot where the player to my left called any amount preflop and on the flop, he clicked his 'call any' button. I moved a couple times with nut hands but finally a hand came up where his $3+ stack came all my way. Playing five handed all three limped to me in the SB him in the BB, i compete with 710o and he checks, flop comes 77K and I bet 13c into a 10c pot. he insta calls (has that call any button on) so does one other (has about 60c). Turn comes 8 an and I shove for $4+. He insta calls for about $3.5 and shows K9o. I take down big pot. Leave that table after a bit up about $3.

Table 2. $.01-$.02: Buy-in $4
I love this limit!!! first played hand, a limp for 2c with 8c back, another player min raises and one more call, I have AKo in the sb, and shove for $4 (the min raiser has about 4.12 but Im not worried, its 1-2c!!) and the bb call shoves for 60c with K10o, I hold and ty for the 60c. HAHA


notes for the day
  • if ever on tilt and need to either get rid of some angst from all the beats, or want to play tight, passive; play 1c-2c, it is incredible how playing this allows you to regroup, remember to play position and take your edges in the right spots.

  • Don't stab at uncontested pots, so many people are checking and calling it is not a profitable play.

  • dont be afraid to limp, everyone does it and you can get away with a lot of thin suited limps, BUT when you limp, dont call raises with those mid-blackjack hands, people always follow

  • NOTE: when you make a hand, overbet the shit out of it, 2-3x the pot in the right games works like a charm

I ended up finding a couple really slow tables to play at in the early afternoon and made a few bucks. Not a lot in the grander scheme of things but considering the size of the game making 100 bbs isnt bad at all!

END OF DAY #1: $106.53
