I'm an amateur poker enthusiast from the UK playing micro stakes cash games on various sites for fun.Ive been playing poker as a hobbie on and off the around 15 years.Although i have played very little over the last 5 years.But due to some current health issues i have lots of free time on my hands.And decided to return to poker and set myself a challenge for 2020 to beat the micros.My main game type is 6max regular tables ill be building bankrolls on various sites.

:diamond: Starting Br = $60
:diamond: 30 buy-in bankroll strategy
:diamond: 10 buy in shots at 30 buy ins
:diamond: Challenge complete = 50nl $3000

Current bankroll = $60
Target for 5nl = $125

Bankroll boosters!
Good think they were run-it-once hands.
The only time I hit a straight flush at GGPoker, I turned down run-it-twice "just in case I hit a jackpot".

Ye i'm not even sure how that works i think the jackpot only counts on the first run but don't hold me to that.

Multiole runs, only first run is counted towards promotions.

this appears to be different than what I remember
I was under the impression that if you chose "run it twice" the jackpot was unavailable regardless
