Hi.
I'm doing a challenge. I am going to take $60 (it was $100 but I punted $40 of it in PLO) and, within one year of today, grow it to $100,000.
Here are the rules:
1. Results are public via Google Docs
2. I can only play one "level" above my current bank roll
3. I have to study daily
4. I have to utilize Doug Polk's guide on making your first million
5. Only ClubWPT results will count and only Hold 'Em cash games
6. I have one year
7. If the account hits $0 at any time, I lose
8. I can cash out if needed but can only replace what's been taken out, can't top off
9. If he agrees, Doug Polk will be the final boss in a $10k heads to match (he has not agreed. yet. also haven't asked him.)
Right now, I will just be providing daily updates but once the bankroll hits $2500, then I'll do daily videos.
I'm excited to go on this journey and hope you'll follow along.

And that's fine. The ecosystem demands that. Why coach up your competition? You don't really age out of poker.
Sure, there are anecdotes that contradict this but if you wanted to start poker right now, it's trial by fire. There's no pop warner poker. And learning by yourself is extremely costly.
@PhilGalfond I think this is a big issue in poker and the main reason it doesn't grow.
In anything else, you see a kid with talent and people go out of their way to coach them up. In poker, that's just not the case. Development is self driven unless you're willing to pay and it's not cheap
I played PLO today with a $40 buy in. Out for $200. In 40 minutes.
I won three hands:
Flopped top set, turned a FH
Flopped nut straight rainbow board
Flopped quads
Each hand, someone went all in before I could act.
What an insane game
@MATTHEWFOULKES@Choppodong1 π You'd think, right?
I once squeezed with AA in the SB with 6 callers for $15 to $100, targeting the UTG raiser.
Went to the flop 6 handed. Flopped an A though.
