Putting the Party in Fish Party... Grinding up a roll form the bottom at jackpot poker sit and goes

Putting the party in Fish Party


Hello my fellow fun players,

It is a new year and with that I wanted to start a new challenge. The last few years poker has started to feel like a bit of a grind and wanted to do something fresh and I thought that I would try to run up a bankroll playing the jackpot poker format. I might end up playing on other networks as the challenge goes on but going to start on Bet Victor since I just got a reload bonus there so that will help grind up at the start. What has encouraged me to start this challenge, well the past November I thought about doing a twitch channel but it was taking up a lot of my time and not really resulting in the content that I wanted. So I kinda thought back to the content that I enjoyed and that was probably produced by one of the pioneers Jason Somerville. I used to really like the Run it up series that he did and like the approach that he had so going to try and put up something similar to that. So I am going to try and keep a vlog up with my progress on this bankroll building channel on my YouTube Channel

So to start I am going to spend the next two - three months building up a roll from $100 to 10k starting at the $1 games. The main focus is going ot be to increase my table count. Currently when I grind I play two tables but would really like to put up solid play at four tables. Currently when I add tables I can feel a big difference in the quality of my play so really hoping that by completing this challenge I will get much better at playing good quality games over four tables and in the end increase my hourly.

I think that I am going to use my bankroll and take shots based on the below guidelines

$250 take shots at $5 games, drop down at $100
$700 take shots at $10 games, drop down at $500
$1500 take shots at $20 games, drop down at $1000
$5000 take shots at $50 games, drop down at $3500



I am going to be very aggressive at the $1 and $5 with the shot taking but I don't think I will go on a -50BI downswing at these stakes so think that this is acceptable.

This is my graph for last year at stars, don't mind the volume was super busy work with a stable and doing coaching.

Finishing editing the video blogs for day one and will be up on the YouTube channel today, for those interested on a quick peek at how the first two days went at the 1 euro games.

Was you typically one step forward two steps back moment this weekend. Just ran super terrible and will be moving back to the 1e games to build back up. Variance in JP poker?? I dunno what do you think?

Anyhow took some time today to get the vlog videos up and going. First few are there and more to come. Going to be working on ways to get a few of the hands into the vlogs but just trying to keep them short, honest and informative for the challenge.

I'm a sucker for a good bankroll challenge and I'll definitely follow this one. How's the traffic at those small stakes fish party SNGs? How different are they from other jackpot SNGs?

@MattVIP Traffic at the micros seems ok, you really need to play during the peak Euro hours but I still get in reasonable game amounts after 12am est. These jackpot games on MPN are a little unique in that they have antes so they differ from Stars in that sense and creates a few adjustments that you need to make. But the multiplier table is really nice so you get more games that are not 2x.

Great stuff. Why do you think people were so down on jackpot tournaments back when they introduced them? Hyper turbo and turbo HU pros claimed Spin & Go's would be the end of poker and now many of them make more money than they did playing HU. And speaking of regs, is the fish party field much softer than the Spin & Go field?
