Jamie Kerstetter, long time Grindette and PartyPoker New Jersey Pro is running a 7 day $50 Bankroll Challenge this week. The Challenge is simple, in her words:
"The idea is to start with a very small deposit, maybe $50, and grind from $2 sit n go’s and very small cash games, moving up gradually in stakes when my “bankroll” allows it. I’d document every day what stakes I’m playing and update my bankroll."
Today is day 5 of the Challenge. Her results thus far are pretty admirable:
Day One: Played $2 SNGs, NL4 - NL10, and 2 freerolls. She finished the day with $69 in cash plus a freeroll win with an equity value of $100.
Day Two: Played $5 SNGs, $1-$5 Satellites, NL10, a freeroll, and the $10 BI $500 GTD. She finished the day with $104 in her account and another $105 in tickets to future events. She did manage to satellite into the $5k GTD event and finished 10 spots from the money. Getting close to a big run up in bankroll even with the conservative requirements.
Day Three: NL10, a few SNGs and MTTs. Jamie took 2nd in a $5 MTT for a $93 cash. She ended with a cash balance of $184 plus $100 in tickets for future events.
Find out how she wraps up in the Party Poker NJ blog.
Not everyone can expect to turn $50 into $285 over the course of three days, but Jamie is crushing this challenge and demonstrating how hard work at the lower limits can lead to real profits. Add to it your 100% initial deposit bonus and you're truly in business.
