The Road to $10,000 on Full Tilt!

So in previous posts I wrote about my income earnings plan at the Indian Reservation Casino I frequent. It basically is make $135/day on Monday & Wednesday and $73/day every other day. My plan is to raise my Bankroll to $6,000 and have an extras savings of $6.000 by late September.





My goal also on Full Tilt is to build a bankroll from my starting point of $8. I will use the BR requirements set forth by Chris Ferguson and attempt to grow my Full Tilt BR to $10,000.





I recently put a estimated schedule and time frame for when I expect to reach this goal. The time frame was based on a conservative expected ROI of 10% and to play at least a combo of 8 Sit and Go's (SNG), Multi-tourneys (MTT), and cash games a day.



So for example, now that I am currently able to play $5 SNG my total investment for the day would be $44 ($5.50 X 8). And my expected ROI or profit for the day would be $4.40 ($44 X 10%). So as long as I am playing of the $5 SNG levels I should make $4.40 a day.



After spending some time with this, here is how my schedule and expected timetable looks:



6/17-7/11 - $5 SNG's and $2 MTT on July 11th I should have at least $221 in the account.



7/12-8/8 - $10 SNG's and $5 MTT (at a point) on August 8th I should have at least $445 in the account



8/9-8/22 - $20 SNG's on August 22nd I should have at least $669 in the account.



8/23 - 9/9 - $30 SNG's and $10 MTT on September 9th I should have at least $1,103 in the account



9/10-10/06 - $50 SNG's and $20 MTT on October 6th I should have at least $2.183 in the account.



10/07-11/03 - $100 SNG's and $30-$50 MTT on November 3rd I should have at least $4,423 in my Full Tilt account.



11/4-12/8 - $200 SNG's and $100-$150 MTT on December 8th I should have reached my goal of $10,000 in the account!



Lets see how that works and I will revise it as we move forward.



Today I hit my first promotions all month at the casino. I hit two high hands and got to spin the wheel. I got $50 the first time and $75 the second. I ended up making $91 in the poker game taking my total poker winnings to $216, $4 from the free slot play, and $5 from the casino points. I made in total for the day $225.



Full Tilt Beginning Balance - $123.91

$5.50 Horse FL SNG - 8 players

I did not do very well in hitting my hands but I managed to finish 3rd with my aggressive play for a $8 prize.

$5.50 Omaha Hi/Low PL SNG - 9 players

I was able to double on the very first hand with 2nd nut low and 2nd nut flush. I then dominated from there taking it all the way to 1st and a $22.50 prize.

$2.25 NL Holdem MTT - 156 players

I got off to a very slow start getting caught in a bluff and not able to hit hands. Towards the middle end of the tourney, with my short stack, I was able to double up from my big blind and then win the next three hands with aggressive play. I built up to about average and got caught in a big hand with pocket 10's after raising in 5 X BB and getting called by chip leader. The flop is 995 and I go all-in and chip leader calls with 9-8 and I finish 16th with a $3.12 prize.

Full Tilt Ending Balance - $144.28
