Hi everyone!
I've decided to set myself a challenge. Playing MTT's on skypoker, I hope to raise enough money to not only fly to Las Vegas next June/July, but also win enough to buy-in direct to a World Series of Poker $1,500 Side Event.
I'm starting with 58p - there is no particular significance with the number 58, it's just the amount I had in my sky account...
I've worked out it will be around £600 for a flight, £200 for accommodation (for a week), and about £1000 for the privilege of playing in a World Series of Poker Event.
So, £1,800 is my goal.
My Plan;
I'm going to be playing mainly Freerolls in my first period of playing, to slowly (or hopefully quickly) build up enough of a bankroll to play the £1.10 and £2.20 MTT's.
The rules I'm setting for myself are;
No rebuy's
No bounty hunter tournaments
No "speed" games and
No big tournament entry (unless I satellite)
I will however be trying to satellite into the SPT Grand Final so when the time comes, I will treat it separately to my 58p-VEGAS challenge.
I'll keep a running update on this thread adding to it when I cash.
Here I gooooooooo
(ps, sorry if when you read the title you thought it was the flight deal of the century, my bad)

hmmmm is this one of those cases where if people write you off, it makes you more determined to prove them wrong???
If so, I'll give you some fuel for ur fire! I think u have no chance!!!
......Why not deposit £100 and give yourself half a chance?
Its no slur on ur game btw as I know ur a good player, the task u've set urself tho is pretty much impossible!
GL !!!
keep us updated and prove me wrong!
Good luck
John
I get flights to Vegas loads cheaper than £600! My latest quote for Vegas in May next year is £1200 with accom in the Mirage for a week for 2 people.
Also consider not going direct, should get a flight for £250/300 that way!
Good luck in the challenge

1. Your game is good enough
2. You have enough time to grind away for 100s of hours.
3. You stick to a strict BRM plan (unless you get to the last week and you know you're not going to cross the line without gambling).
If you're starting with freerolls you should have made it more fun by starting from zero. I don't know why you're not playing bounty hunters, the £2.00 + 30p and £5.00 + 75p BHs are the softest tournaments on the site IMO.
Look forward to the updates of your progress
Hope you do it!

When i re-load again i may join you in your quest but from a higher starting figure, but ill adjust to say the Main Event Buy in of $10000. Ill be too young to play buy targets can be achieveable.
Best of luck mate, I don't think I coudl do this. I wouldn't have the patience (or time) to grind my way up from that low.....
Wouldn't it be easier saving the cost of all the flights/tickets for Hearts march to the Champion's League final saying as they never even got into Europe in Yogi's first season ;-)
Andrius Velicka to be the top scorer in the SPL is my bet for the season.
