I'm doing the Open Internet Challenge again... I think I've talked about this before, but let's cover it again.

Some of you have no idea what this is - a while back, Mike Haven got the idea on 2+2 for a way for a player to take a small sum of money and move up to the higher limits and get experience there without a horse's bankroll - the idea is you start with 40 bucks and play .50/$1 Holdem

You work your way up, moving up at each limit - goes like this.

Start at $40 in the .50/1 games.
$80 - up to 1/2
$160 - go to 2/4
$240 - go to 3/6
$400 - go to 5/10
$800 - go to 10/20
$1200 - go to 15/30
$1600 - go to 20/40

at $2000 - you cash out and run like hell and tell everyone you sucked out on to suck your dick cause you're taking their money and not giving it back - It's not meant to put you in the 20/40 game permanently :).

For me, the toughest most mind grinding parts is the .50/$1 games. - takes 40 BB to get to the next level and that level is a little better cause the play is better - In fact, I've tried it twice on Party and couldn't pull it off and gave up. I have done it twice on Pokerstars - it actually gets easier up to 5/10 - then it gets a little tricky.

It's the sort of thing you do when you're waiting for your first paycheck.
