Get Rich or Die Tryin' The Bankroll Challenge Dear members, We are happy to introduce you our newest motivational promotion - The Bankroll challenge. It's purpose is to make you set and reach goals, as well as build your bankroll! How can I participate? • There is a single condition in order to participate - you must create / maintain an active blog. • This promotion is not time restricted - can join the promo at any time - you just need to opt in in this thread, putting the following info: - Link to your Blog on PokerStrategy.com - Your starting Bankroll - Your goal - the bankroll you would like to reach • The minimum goal is set at $1000 and you need to increase your bankroll by at least 5 times. • You can increase your bankroll with: - winnings from the poker tables - bonuses and rakeback - prizes won from poker promos • Every Monday, every participant must write in his blog a weekly report, including: - number of played hands / tournaments - weekly bankroll movements in USD or EUR - Current bankroll - How many weeks he has participated in the promotion • After creating this post in your blog you must copy it as a new post in the following thread:What can I expect from this challenge? We will release a weekly news with the current results of all participants in the promo. It will contain a ranking of all players with their bankroll increase in %. Depending on that increase participants will have different ranks. Whenever a participant reaches his goal, he will enter a special "Hall of Fame" and will get a 1 month status increase (minimum to Gold). He can then decide to re-enter the promo with a new goal. In case a participant misses a weekly report, he will get a warning. If he misses a second weekly report, he will be out of the challenge and can re-enter after 4 weeks, starting with a new bankroll and goal. A participant can request up to two weeks of holidays by posting it in his blog and in this thread. In that case there will be no warnings on missed reports. Why should I participate in this challenge? There are several reasons as to why you should participate: - Competition leads to motivation - you will always have your goal in mind and will know why you are playing poker - You and your blog will get more famous in the community as we will mention the most notable participants in our news - You can get status upgrades and other surprises from PokerStrategy.com Ranks in our ChallengeRang % of goal reachedRang % of goal reached 0% or down51% - 60% 1% - 10% - 70% 11% - 20% - 80% 21% - 30% - 90% 31% - 40% - 99% 41% - 500% We wish you all the success in building your bankroll!

If I can give you my personal answer to that.
First, my blog is the worst, shitty, boring blog ever for sure.

What the challenge gives me is motivation. (I do the same challenge in an other community as well). When I run bad for a week and I can see where the others stands, where I stand in the group and that some of them can also run like shit for 20K hands that somehow help me to keep going.
But that's for me, I dont have lots of Poker friends to share with so this challenge gives me something.

Taking a 2 week break. Just need to deal with a couple of things with real life right now, and won't be able to play as much.

Hey guys,

I've flagged this internally to find out more. As it's Xmas time, some patience may be required.

I started this challenge on 21 October.
The following 8 weeks I dutifully wrote a report on my blog and in the reporting thread.
These Monday reports quickly felt like home-work.
Force myself to write instead of writing when I felt like it.
Pretty effective way to kill my joy in blogging.
But hey, it's a challenge... it's supposed to be tough...so I carried on...
On 15 December I reached my goal :f_p:
But 3 weeks have passed
and I didn't hear anything from anyone
at PokerStrategy.
Also no status-update :f_frown:

Or to quote the OP:

Why should I participate in this challenge?

There are several reasons as to why you should participate:
- Competition leads to motivation - you will always have your goal in mind and will know why you are playing poker
- You and your blog will get more famous in the community as we will mention the most notable participants in our news
- You can get status upgrades and other surprises from PokerStrategy.com, such as our November raffle

Tbh things here on Strategy looks pretty dead these days, financial problems maybe? I mean, promos like these are very lazy, much less coachings (1-3 omaha coachings all autumn) etc. Too bad

Hi guys,
I am fully aware of the fact that this does not look very professional from our side.
Count on me - that will change. I am not looking for excuses, we had the promo planned but interdeparmental (uh.. yeah..mental)

Let me give you an insight in what I've done to keep a good track and subsequently come up with a nice news for you guys:

Hope to hear more from your journey through the challenge & gratz to our first two finishers!

My challenge

* Starting bankroll: $50
* Target bankroll: $1500

It's just a side challenge though. My actual BR is bigger. That an issue? I mean I will only count the profit I make at the stakes posted in the blog.
