    The goal is to make $36,000 in the next 21 days.

    My wife has been on maternity leave with our first baby the past 8 months. She goes back to work March 24th. Wife is pregnant again, she is due in September. She hates her job and loves being a mom but we can use her income. If she goes back to work for five months she can go on maternity leave again and we get $1400 a month for one year which is great.

    So with the total she will earn going back to work for 5 months plus maternity pay for one year = $36,000. My goal is to make that much playing online before she has to go back to work and therefore she can quit her job and stay home with our baby girl.

    My bankroll is $1500 and i will be playing cash and tournaments. I work full time and have a one year old so playing time will be limited. Bankroll management is not an option.

    This will be a great gift to my wife if I can achieve it! Wish me luck! I will try to update how I am doing daily.

    IF you can make 36k in 21 days.....

    WHY would you ever work another day in your life?

    Work a few months a year and you're at 100k+

    GL i guess

    A) You do not know me and I am not going to special ED argue with you on the internet.
    B) Let me rephrase, I like free money, expecially from the government, they rape me enough in taxes.
    C) GFY!
    D) Hmmmm...daycare or my wife watching my child.

    To all the haters, thanx for the extra motivation and review item C).

    well the one good thing you have done is made me laugh, so ty and wp. Honestly, go stick the 1500 on 15 red or the square of your choice on the roulette table, you get lucky you have the 35k (more actually) and if you dont then you dont, but honestly there is no way in hell you can let $1500 ride over and over again and make it to 35k, and if you did, I doubt you would have the self-restraint to stop and not continue trying to ride it to 100k. ty for donating 1500 to our community.

    this is nearly impossible and you will very, very likely lose $1500, even if you are a good player. however, based on the fact that you're even going to consider attempting this, i'm going to guess that you aren't. you might as well burn that $1500.

    whatever, ignore my advice. just promise me that when you play cash, take shots in heads up games. if you're going to lose the money, it might as well be in the games i play.

    You better win an extra $10K so you can pay your taxes on that $36K.

    I want to throw up when someone says, "thanx for the extra motivation.." blah blah blah. If you're going to make a post like this, you should expect to honest feedback. This is an absurd statement. Whether you do it or not makes no difference. It is highly unlikely. That is all everyone is saying. If you succeed, good for you. I'm sure we'll hear a "I told you I would do it" post if you succeed. Make sure we get a "I was an idiot for thinking this was attainable" post if you fail.

    Just play the nightly 100k on pokerstars 9 times, you should win at least one time.

    Damn, cut the dude some slack. He never said he guaranteed he would bet 36k, he said he is going to try to. Sure he has a decent shot @ going broke, but he obviously doesnt care. Plus, its not all or nothing like your 1500 on 15 red plan. Its not like he cant fall a little short or never win a small amount of money.

    This post caused me to search for him. I do not want to embarass anyone, but let's say it looks like his wife will be going back to work.
