I'm not really a frequent poster in this forum, mostly because I am unsure of myself and the way I think with regards to poker. By having a mini-challenge I hope to overcome this problem and start posting/commenting on at a higher frequency.

I got a $20 ring game ticket for Rush Poker. I don't really play Rush or Zoom, but given that this is free then I guess I'd give it a shot. The plan is to play 5NL Rush and build up a roll enough for 10NL play.

This isn't necessarily a bankroll-building practice as I've got enough to play 25NL. Some of you may think that this is a waste of time, and I agree to a certain extent. But since this is Rush, if I am really meant to succeed in this challenge then I should be able to zip through 5NL in no time at all (there's always variance of course). If not, then maybe I just got lucky to be able to build my bankroll up to this point. This is just a way of validating if I really did beat the lower stakes then, as I'm currently being clobbered at 25NL.

This challenge is really just a short term thing. Here are my rules:

1. Build a bankroll up to $200.
2. No-brainer: if I lose the entire value of my ticket then this challenge ends.
3. If I am able to reach FTP point equivalent of the ticket then I will convert the ticket to cash and the challenge ends, and consider this a failure.

I plan on playing 6-max NLHE. Question is, would FR be better?

Cheers!
