Do you have a specific, goal for the year to improve your Replay Bankroll ?
Mine as currently, I sit at my freshly cleaned replay table at 47 Million is to increase it, by 20 Million.
The only set and clear-cut goal for the year to improve bankroll is competing in the
“Look No Further 100K”.
Utilizing the free 100K tickets I’m up 1,556,077
Most of the time I’m paying out of my bankroll but the tickets help a lot.
The best I can do is 4TH place (5 times!) out of 18 attempts.
There’s a lot of very good Omaha Hi Lo players competing there.
It has a feel of a league to it.
Same players battle it out for a decent payday compared to actual league play that pays a lot less.
36 players was the lowest and 77 players was the highest we had competing there.
Hopefully, I can improve my Replay bankroll by 10M + by the end of the year just by participating
in the Look No Further 100K.

Great example of a goal, not familiar with the tourney though, or is it a league? Sounds like it is without being one lol 
It’s one of the newer MTT’s that Replay recently had a contest to name.
December 20 TH was the first time it ran.
That’s probably why you’re not familiar with it.
It’s listed above Galaktic Storm

Thanks for the tip, played Look No Further today and did ok, 7th place. Much better time to play than the later 100K/Ticket which I enjoy also
I see your goal of +20M by the end of the year is looking like a lock.
Managing a poker bankroll is like a marathon runner setting a reasonable pace.
47M to 67M
63,566,292 currently so close!
I reached my goal yesterday of 10M.
Felt good crossing the finish line earlier than expected.
1172086497
1172085414
The importance of setting a goal, no matter how small, cannot be understated.
Thanks, Litenin for asking the right question way back in January!

Yea!!! I reached my annual Bankroll goal for 2024 of 20 million early as well.
From 47 million to 67,145,249.
I have learned a couple of things. through this process:)
- When close to goal, I tended to be too cuatious of losses IE:) higher buy in MTT’s etc.
- Also to make next years goal higher than expected. Even if not reached, the bankroll will be higher than erxpected.
Just for fun, setting a second goal of 4 million more for the end of 2024. Totaling 71 million
I hope more will participate in Bankroll goal setting next year so we can cheer them on!!!

After my first month at replay, when I got about 2 million in about my first 5,6,7 weeks, I set a goal of about 3,3.5 mil per month, 35 mil by, at the end of first year. I am at about 23.5 mil, after first 4,5 months, playing just only MTT’s, so I am well on my way there, and will probably reach, shatter that goal by the end of my first year at Replay, unless I run into a epic bad run.

Thanks for everyone’s support & gl wishes !!! I made my second Bankroll Goal for 2024 today. Now at 71,205,223
With only a few days left, if any one else had a 2024 Bankroll Goal set, please let us know so we can cheer you on.
GL at the tables everyone !!!
I look forward to starting a 2025 Bankroll Goal for all and hope we have a lot of participants, to cheer for.
I joined about 5 months ago. I got up to four million chips after 3 months. Then I played in all these 1 mil and 500k tourneys and lost it all. Started from scratch and am up to 2 mil after two months so my goal is just to not lose it all again.

Litenin, and everyone. I am at 34.5 million, just about 500k more until I reach, shatter my goal of 35 mil, that I set when joined site. I might have to reset or set a 2nd goal. If do, then it will probably be about 89 million by end of first year, at the rate I am going, assuming I don’t have a epic bad run, and continue to move up MTT stakes(250k buy in, 500k buy in stakes now, and about to move up to 1 mil buy in stakes now), and play enough volume, etc. And to think I started with just 20k, and didn’t buy chips.

Reporting that I have been playing at ignition Poker. I deposited $85, and went all the way up to $200, then down to about $13 then up to $358 then down to $125 playing the $3, $5, $10 shot $1000 GTD, $2000 GTD, $7000 GTD, $8000 GTD, 100 to 1000 player tournaments, Where about 40% of the fields are absolute DONKS, that eventually bad beat you a lot and bad beat you out short of cashing about 87% of the time, IF you have my MURPHY of Poker ULTIMATE EXTREME BAD LUCK.
I have had bad runs of 65 beat beat outs short of cashing in a row, 50, 33, 23, 17, 9. I have been bad beat out after mincashing about 10 to 15 to 20 to 25 times. I have made about 10 final tables, and Have about 3,4,5 top 3,4 finishes.
Biggest cash was about $300
Have been using about 40 buy in bankroll, have moved up and down stake levels.
I stopped playing at replay because I moved to Phoenix Arizona area, where now can now legally play for real money finally(It was illegal in WA to play online real money poker.
I have 88 million bankroll at Replay.
Ignition Poker is a real money online Poker website and app. Most of the Tournaments are $2 buy ins at the lowest to about $20 to $100 at the highest. Most tournaments have between 75 to 500 to 1000 players.
I’ll play in RPOS 13, whenever that is, and give occasional updates like this update, etc.

2 make extra money-got 2 just play small cash games online-----tournaments WAY 2 long n not as profitable in the long run—I HONESTLY am average or below in hold-em but seem 2-win money every year (get a 1099 form every year 2:( ).
Bill, I am not as good, and either a range of below average, to average, to above average at very best in cash games. I just barely by skin of teeth a 1 penny net profit cash game player.
Also I dont like to play cash games as much. Also in todays cash game scene there are more sharks in cash games then tournaments, which have the softer fields.
Also in cash games you can lose more, quicker.
Yes tournaments take more time, are slower, have more variance, but in tournaments you dont lose as much, and dont lose as quickly, as cash ring games, as long as you have good bankroll management replay, who has been, is quite successful, consistent playing tournaments. And I was quite successful playing tournaments, sit n go’s before the USA, 2011 Black Friday shutdown of stars, tilt, online poker, and before WA made it a class C felony.
And like I said the fields at Ignition are extremely soft in tournaments. I was not exaggerating when I said 40% of the field are absolute DONKS, and about 20% are fish, and 20% are recs, 13% are semi winning players 10% are winning players 7% are semi sharks. 5% are sharks, 3% are semi pros, 1% are pros. Me? I am a winning player to semi shark to shark to semi pro, depending on if I am on my A+ game, IN TOURNAMENTS.
So I have a HUGE edge over most of the competition in Ignition Poker Tournaments. Younguru, Lihuie would absolutely DESTROY, WIN, BE EXTREMELY profitable at Ignition Poker

I still remember " black Friday" they called last hand:(–back then wife would play the tournaments n call me when ( if ) she was in the money and i would take over lol…2 long. …yep, u lose MUCH faster in ring games (especially heads up which i play a lot )----and i LOVE it as MANY of these ppl. are total donks n re-load 10-12 times:)…If i was good at hold-em- i might be rich by now:)
My friend, i will tell you a little secret:)—i honestly am not very good at hold-em ( 7 stud i am very good at n 7 stud hi/ low good at )…had 2 learn hold-em (played 7 stud in weekly cash games since 13–now ppl. do not play them for cash much:(--------so i learned hold-em, online ( cash games ) i know all the players and stay away from my shark friends n against ppl. i chat A -LOT n say some DUMB goofy things that will put most on tilt lol—now in the casino i say NOTHING and try n read ppl. ( hand movements, eye movements, head twitch etc. ) —it helps n makes up for not being good at the game.
