How to dodge bullets (baby)

Our Bankroll Challengers played over 73,000 hands this week and still found time to learn (and teach) a lot.

We have some creative blogs to follow this week in the Bankroll Challenge, starting with kacsa1st who proves the theory that any hand history can be instantly improved when you include a GIF

You can learning something from all our members but usually that is just poker related. However, head over to metalmonkey80's blog and you will also learn a new word a day.

Super deep analysis

Any profit is good but you can always improve on a mere $1 profit for the week by learning as much as you can from the week before. That's what eatyourpeas is doing and he has added a press-ups challenge too for good measure

It's not just about winning it is also about losing the minimum, that's the lesson from krisrukov this week as he shows us how to dodge bullets

Think you do detailed hand histories? The chances are it won't be as deep as this super deep hand review from xunderdogx.

Finally the winner of a status upgrade this week is......tiltmonk!

You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today!
