FAO Challenge setters ( GaryQQQ & Others )

smarr

Was considering taking on a challenge for the months of January & February. Mainly to try and get back to tournaments and off the cash tables, although it is great to be making a great profit on the cash tables i am slowly losing my love for the game.
Really want to get back to playing the thing that made me fall in love with it. MTT's.

What kind of goals did you set yourselves?? And for what reason??

Personally I find setting myself some sort of BR challenge gives motivation and helps me focus on playing my very best, rather than just plugging away in my normal games without any particular reason to push myself hard.

BR challenges aren't for everybody, particularly if posted in a public forum in a forum like this. It takes a big commitment and you have to be prepared to post through the bad times as well as the good times, I'm sure you've seen many challenge diaries that have faded away not long after they're launched.

Before that I set one for an entire team; 'The Team51 £51K Challenge'. It was a huge success, the entire team got motivated and went on a heater. The target was reached much faster than expected, so I decided to extend it to £100,051, then £151,151, then £250,051.
