81%..90%..93% equity....0% equity!
A brutal beat for one of our Bankroll Challengers, a PLO Black Swan for another, plenty of big wins and a dog in a festive sweater at the end.
It may not be a trophy but the online equivalent of one is that all important screenshot of an MTT win - congrats to friskyart for shipping the Sputnik on Unibet:
ghaleon is one of several PLO regs in our challenge and he posts some fun hands in his blog, like this rarity of a bottom pair type hand holding up:

Getting from nothing to something is one of the hardest things to do in poker, so well done to mardibg who is now 10% of the way through his challenge which started at the freerolls.
vorpalf2f had 81% equity preflop, 90% equity on the flop, 93% equity on the turn and.....0% equity on the river. Check out the hand.
Finally, in the spirit of Christmas, seasons greeting's from Charlie, the dog of our editor .

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.
