So pretty random one and one which some of you may look at thinking WTF or some may look at thinking...well can he?

The reason this thread is being created is because someone genuinely asked me this and my answer was genuine: No idea!

Why I should be able to beat it:

- Played poker for 10 years
- Play much higher stakes
- Make money and teach correct strategies in coaching videos


Why maybe I can't beat it:

- My game has fallen behind
- I am not GTO
- I don't respect the stakes
- I may get bored.


For the top point there of my game falling behind this is basically due to me 1-2 tabling most of the time on none HUD sites, playing super fish and even now playing a fair bit of PLO and even MTTs. I may just legit not be good enough at this level.

I have been asked to do a 'challenge' like this for the full 3+ years this forum has been alive and my answer has always been the same 'I will just miss out on too much money' and also just the fact I have no ego when it comes to this stuff.

But for this one it is different as the question actually hit me a bit harder than before as I doubted the answer

So it is going to be very simple

- Play 10nl
- Do it on Party Poker
- Play Zoom
- Aim for 250k hands in 2 months.

Jeez even writing this I am thinking WTF am I doing. I am not worried If i lose as well I feel I can still teach the level well enough etc and it won't hurt my 'reputation' as such...or will it? Also am I really going to commit to this? 250k hands ...FUCK I don't even know if I could have done this in my prime lol. So lets say at least 100k but aim is 250k....OK?

So what is winning? Well to me the fact never fucking changes - having more money than I started with once the challenge ends. I don't care if it comes from the tables, rake back, deposit bonus or promos. Net won is all I do, have and will ever give a shit about.

I understand Party does not allow HUDs...do they at least let you track the hands/results? I am only really caring about the results tbh.

Why Party?

Well I was just informed by a VIP coach that he is thinking about doing a bankroll challenge on there due to the new ridiculous promo they are running: See Here. Basically play 250k hands and get $1500. Obviously there are levels to this shit like 30k = $150 so it is just generally awesome for the more casual of grinder but for me with the 250k hands in mind this is a nice milestone. Sadly my account is old so I don't get the $500 deposit bonus (FML) but I do get the PokerVIP Top777. Also I am sure some VIP scheme monies will land at some point from Party. BTW if you want to join me for this summer of grind sign up Here


So here we go - the summer of grind begins. I will be playing my usual games on the side but I do want to achieve this and believe I can. I will 4 table the fast forward games and have deposited £100 ($143) which I know is not a correct bankroll and this is not a bankroll challenge so I will just deposit more if I need to.

So egg on my face or a little pat on my back - lets find out!
