After running my bankroll up from $80 about 1.5 years ago to $7500 in August, I lost about 20% in 2 sessions. I was disgusted and withdrew most of my money from my online poker accounts. I used my hard earned money to pay for some things around the house like granite counter tops, and new golf equipment, so I was proud of that. The other incident happened with the passing of a certain bill in Congress. This caused me to take my roll down to $1200 or so. I played $22 and $33 sngs and limit for a while and renewed my desire to play NL cash. I needed to mix things up a little because NL grind was wearing me down. Being a member of cardrunners and reading everyone's blogs and goals, it inspired me to start my own poker blog challenge. I like reading HyperAggroDonk's blog everyday, so I modeled my daily format after his.
So, I have chosen Full Tilt Poker for my bankroll building challenge. I will use bankroll management according to chart below. My starting bankroll is:
$1687.40 (About 34 buyins)
Bankroll rules:
$50 NL: 20 buyins ($1000 bankroll)
$100NL: 25 buyins ($2500 bankroll)
$200NL: 30 buyins ($6000 bankroll)
My first goal will be to move up to the NL $100 level or achieve a $2500 bankroll. I will be updating daily, showing all my numbers. I plan on 4-tabling FTP's 6 man $50NL to start. I must make $813 (about 17 buyins) before I can move up to $100 NL. I can 4-table and get about 370 hands an hour (92h/hour per table) - so I am going to shoot for 400 hands a day for this first level. If I run at 5PT bb/100 then I should reach my goal of $2500 in 16,260 hands or 43.9 hours of 4 tabling. If I average 400 hands per day, this 1st step should take about 41 days.

Hey Ekash. Great to see you start a challenge as well. Remember to keep your nose to the grind and stay focused. Poker is a long run game and a challenge like this can't be won in a day, nor can it be lost. Best of luck!
