Community Round-up: Poker is a Roller Coaster

In the previous round-up news we celebrated passing the $500k mark in our "one million dollar in a year challenge". This week our featured blog's author mbml had to experience that large winnings do not automatically make you a good player.

Poker Blog of the Week

mbml, who is only 21 years old, already became a diamond member in the English community. This young guy from singapore started playing poker in 2009 and now has a bankroll of $17k.

Getting there wasn't as easy as it sounds, he had several downswings, and fell down to a 3-digit bankroll several times. However, he stood up every single time to come out even stronger. Apparently the poker gods do not like him right now, as his latest blog entry states that he is running below his expected value once again.

If this has made you curious and you want to get to know our PokerStrategist a little bit better, you may as well have a look into this week's featured blog.
