$25----->25k Bankroll Challenge on Ignition

$25----->25k Bankroll Challenge on Ignition

I am going to be starting with $25 in my Ignition Account and try to spin it up to $25,000.

I will start at 5nl since it is the lowest stake on the site and be playing Ignition Reg tables only.

I will be updating every 5k hands with my progress.

My expectation for each limit is as follows:

Expected Winrates for each limit:

5NL: 30bb/100

10NL: 25bb/100

25NL: 20bb/100

50NL: 15bb/100

100NL: 12bb/100

200NL: 10bb/100

Variance will be a decent factor in a lot of these winrates but these are just ball park numbers. Once I hit 25k I will take a 10buyin shot at 500nl! As far as moving up I'll move up whenever I feel like it, but probably after winning 30-40 buyins at the limit.

There will be no cherry picking here since you can't cherry pick a Bankroll Challenge. Wish me luck (or not) and follow along in this thread.

death run at 25nl blitz but doing fine at reg tables.

100k hand sample so far at 25nl on ACR.


5nl-25nl on Ignition.



wait you're up ~5k total and you're still at nl25? why?


by Xenoblade k

wait you're up ~5k total and you're still at nl25? why?

No I'm not up 5k that rakeback isn't right. It's only 27%. That rakeback is set at 100% rakeback so it should just say total rake instead of rakeback.

I'm up like maybe $3500.

I wrote about this before but I was scammed for a **** ton of money (like 80k in crypto today) so as a result I had to cash out some money from the BR here. That's why I haven't moved up.

x turn better line? for an easier life: can call every non draw river and fold the rest.

AP see merit in jamming and folding but calling seems pretty pointless. I'd probably autofold but it's such a weird line that it's got to be quite fish dependent. Vs badreg or common/passive fish a reluctant muck. Vs whale/aggro/good reg wahey

Can’t check turn on the safest card in the deck imo.

Can’t ask a Solver because preflop is too wide.

Can’t ask MDA because the line is too rare.

There is only one hope!

What if you x-c flop rather than x-r? Then you could easily call most blank turns and call/give up some rivers. But I guess you weren't expecting to be min-raised on turn after x-raising flop. I find this turn raise particularly confusing.

I’m assuming you mean raise flop since he donked?

Yeah the turn raise is interesting. I definitely didn’t expect him to min XR turn although now I get to figure this spot out so it’s not all bad.

Yes, my bad. Donk is not insignificant since you expect Villain to 3bet flop with nutted combos.

by DooDooPoker k

You have to shove or fold given effective stacks, I assume. The min xr doesn't make sense re combo draws. Maybe BB thought the SPR was too high to shove and that your 75% turn size suggested you would xb most rivers?

I'll let you figure it out ...

Haha yeah didn’t expect that in the 1st hand.

Yeah just didn’t think he had much Ax in range so he calls down light on an obvious bluff line and then we snap call vs the jam since it’s overbluffed.

Interesting because this line is overbluffed overall even with OB sizing but texture>sizing so we have to fold.

This hand is off the rails but this guy is tight so it's unlikely he opens 22/33/54s. If he folds overpairs OTR then i like it.

No I'm not up 5k that rakeback isn't right. It's only 27%. That rakeback is set at 100% rakeback so it should just say total rake instead of rakeback.

I'm up like maybe $3500.

I wrote about this before but I was scammed for a **** ton of money (like 80k in crypto today) so as a result I had to cash out some money from the BR here. That's why I haven't moved up.

Why not just get staked for 100nl or something?


I would entertain a stake if it was a fair deal.

IME, most staking deals aren't balanced.


Overbluffed. Inverse is the same.
