Another week, another Bankroll Challenge completed
One of our members ended their Bankroll Challenge by almost doubling their initial goal. Plus we have some sick graphs and sick bad beats!
A big congrats and a really big week for mariussica88 who not only crushed their Bankroll Challenge but he also won the Scholars Leaderboard for $1,000. His original challenge was to turn $37 into $1,000, and today his bankroll is a super impressive $1660,
Persistence pays! Congrats to bigdog63 who, after a 30 week breakeven stretch, has finally got his graph going in a healthy upwards direction. Keep it going!
If you want an upwards graph you want a solid routine. friskyart has just set some new daily goals including 15 minutes of study, 300+ hands a day and posting one hand a day in our forum. That may sound small, but steady consistent habits beat peaks and troughs of motivation.
To anyone who thought the Robbi Jade Lew hand was confusing, or even so it bad it was impossible, our member pokerplayernumber1 has a reminder - this happens at micro stakes all the time! Seriously, go check out this hand.

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.
