Challenge #1: Turn 10 BTC into €10,000 cash in 10 days
Hey all,
decided to start the first Challenge of my blog, the rules are pretty simple:
- I'm starting with a Bankroll of 10 BTC (worth €5,042 at todays rate)
- At the start I'm going to exchange 8 BTC to €4,043 Casino Barcelona Chips to play No Limit Hold'em Poker (only tables with blinds €5/€10 count towards the Challenge as I sometimes have investors for Higher Stake Games and I obviously only wanna do this with my own money)
- I'm gonna leave 2 BTC in my wallet to either play Onlinepoker on a BTC Site or do some random Gambling to make the Challenge more fun (not my standard approach)
- Goal is to bring the Bankroll to €10,000 cash within 10 days
That's what I'm gonna start with:

Disclaimer:
From a professional standpoint this Challenge is completely stupid. Playing €5/€10 No Limit with ~€5,000 is absurd, the Risk of Ruin is way too high since you can easily lose that amount in one hand. To play this limit you should probably have a Poker Bankroll of at least €100,000. I just wanted to do a fun Challenge that doesn't take long and motivates me to put in a lot of hours at the Cashgames while I'm in Barcelona.
This is the program I'm using to track the sessions:
Starting the first session with €2,000, hoping for some rungood in the beginning otherwise this Challenge could end really quickly!
I would love to see some hand histories.
