For this adventure, there are very few ground rules, but the rules themselves are important. Here they are:
- I cannot start with, add, deposit, or in any way shape or form increase the money I am able to work with.
- This includes not only myself but deposits or gifts from others.
- When I get to $60,000, it must all be pure winnings.
- I can only include winnings from poker. This includes all types of poker, from razz to stud, but the truth is that I pretty much foresee myself only playing no limit hold’em.
- I am free to use any online poker room, but it must be online. If I happen to win money in a brick and mortar casino, that doesn’t count.
- I am free to withdraw money for personal use at any time. While this will lower the money I can use in stakes games, it still counts as winnings.
- This also means that if I withdraw money, I can re-add it to my account.
- In other words, this is a net income game. At the end of the road, I need to simply have won $60,000 more than I have lost in online poker, starting with zero and not depositing any non-winnings money.
- There is no time limit.
Okay, if I think of any more, I’ll update the rules, but basically it’s pretty simple: From zero to sixty via online poker.
