Aces never win in PLO, even against Aces
A big week for our bloggers as we have two completed challenges, a big Chest win, a royal and of course our latest $100 raffle winner!
We like to check in every week or two with our Bankroll Challenger so you can see who to follow, who to cheer on, who to get advice from and who to commiserate.
Our grinder bigdog63 had a tough week but managed to play well and prevent tilt, in part thanks to buying the Raise Your Edge cash game course.
If PLO scares you, look away now, our PLO grinder ghaleon had a terrible week at the tables and among other things could not get Aces to hold, ever.
A good 'Honeymoon' at GGPoker for Stackoffski who has earned T$110 in their newbies promotion.
We have our first baby of the Bankroll Challenger, congratulations to lagavulin16y on the birth of Lagajunior2 (probably not their real name)!
We keep telling you KKPoker is profitable and this week our Polish member Blad3K bagged a juicy second place finish there.
Speaking of which, congrats also to KKPoker regular Dartablasta who completed his Bankroll Challenge in super quick time playing MTTs at KKPoker - now onto the next one!
The Bankroll Challenge results so far
We have three challengers who appear to be one good session away from completing their challenge this week! Visit their blogs and give them a rail this week!

What is the Bankroll Challenge?
In the Bankroll Challenge we encourage our members to get better by blogging about their poker journey and setting some ambitious goals.
Our members found that having a blog kept them accountable to their goals and it's a great way to help them get to know their fellow PokerStrategists. As the saying goes 'what gets measured, gets managed' and simply having a blog keeps you on your A-Game.
To help you on your journey and with a little bit of luck you can win $100 that we will raffle once a month among our active bloggers, regardless of where they play, accompanied by a special badge for their forum avatar for anyone succeeding in their first Bankroll Challenge.
How to join the Bankroll Challenge
The challenge is open to all PokerStrategists and you do not need to be tracked to us to participate. All you need to do is:
- Start a blog in our forum.
- State your starting bankroll, your regular stakes/games and your poker room in the first post.
- Set a long term bankroll goal of at least $500 and/or a minimum of five times your starting bankroll.
- Sign-up to the Bankroll Challenge in our registration thread, with a link to your personal blog, your initial bankroll and your goal.
- Post at least once a week in your blog.
Once a month we will raffle $100 among all eligble PokerStrategists participating in the Bankroll Challenge regardless of where you play.
