Wow, this is a great story... and really motivates you to try the same...
I am also thinking of doing this with small difference... I ll deposit 20-30$ and start with that...
Even though his rules really make sence i dont understand why he had minimum since that goes against his rules...
For example
"I'll never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of my total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: I'm allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less)."
So at the time he finally got to 3$ he played with 2,5 buyin? Why not stick to rules that would save his bankroll managment?
If i start with 20$ I think it would be wrong to play 2,5$ SnGs... wouldnt it?
"I won't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll and I'm allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1."
So for multitable its even less money, never thought about it that way... interesting... (btw, same thought about his minimum set regardless the rule)
So he made a difference between a multitable tournaments and SnG... It makes some sence.. But what about multitable SnG?
And as for cash games... He entered games with only 5% of his stack... And what games would be proper to play then?
Lets say he has 1 $... I am sure he didnt play .25/.50 cash games...
What would be correct, how much bigblinds you should have when you enter a cash game... 50?
