From Busto to Robusto - $50-500 challenge!Yo guys. So I've had to withdraw my roll from Stars for personal reasons, I've got like $51 in my bank account, decided lets chuck it on the iPoker network and try a $50-500 build. I think this is more important than other 50-500's, because if I fail I'm legitimately busto 
Hopefully I can find a backer for $15s or $30s,
Will post my graphs and update on my progress here, setting daily goals, hoping to finish this within a couple of months so I can get to the midstakes/HU cash and grind out some decent money. Looking to move to the 5's ASAP (might take some 20/15 or 15/10 shots), then I'll settle in there before I can move up to 10s. I think the action slows down at 10s/20s on iPoker, but I'll probably move to cash or back to PokerStars for my HUSNG action then anyway.
Goals for 6th October
[] 20+ reg/deepstack $2's
[] Study 1 strategy video
[] Do an hour of HH reviews
Starting roll: $63.55 (I cheated a bit lol)
Gogogo, wish me luck!

Action is fine at the $10s and not bad at the $20s on I Poker, not the same as Stars obviously, but still pretty good at the right times of day.
That's for in the future anyway, Good luck.

Lol @ iPoker, I've got waiting times at $2 HUSNG's.
I'm playing deeps not regular speeds atm, because
1. I enjoy them
2. It's similar to cash, which is what I'd like to learn in the future
3. Lower variance, which is good on a $70 roll
4. Because of the lower variance, I can get to higher limits quicker (going to take a 15/10 shot at the $5.25s).

BRM
$68.25-$52.50 - 3bi shots at $5 deepstacks

Hey Jake, I like to have 30 buyins but as long as you are prepared to move up and down and are disciplined it should be fine imo

Challenge complete
Here's the giraffe.
Hahaha. Sorry for a letdown of a thread. Well I'm not really sorry lol, I'm happy it's over in 4 days lol. Might make a new one once I'm settled into the midstakes about transitioning to high stakes. Talk later guys, thanks for following.

lol are you seriously counting that as your BR build? just carry it on, your playing those stakes for a reason it will be hugely beneficial for you in the longrun to just continue imo

I was only playing the $2's because I had shit all money, now I can return to the midstakes, invest in some coaching and move up like I was intending on.
