This week since I started the challenge, I have played:

Week 1
8284 NL2 6-max zoom hands
Profit/loss: +$19.47
MTTS and SNGs played: 48
Profit/loss: +$1.17
Bankroll: $77.85

Well, week 2 didn't go to good was down to 55$, but just had a nice NL2 zoom session where I tried to hit the straight flush, but I didn't hit hit, however I had a pretty good run. So now my current BR is $79.38, hopefully I will keep this and grind my way up!

Week 3
Hands: 7204
Tournaments: 21
Profit: +$31.76
BR$83.76

This week was better than week 2 where I had 52.5$ in BR.
I've been running deep in some tournaments but unfortunately it's low turbo buy ins and I didn't win much.

Hey ! every bit of profit helps I too am going to start the same challenge and start from £50. Looking forward to your posts and GL!

Always nice to see a fellow Swede around the forums, I'll def subscribe!

Week 4
Hands: 7660
Tournaments: 45
Profit: +$1.20
BR$84.96

I actually made around 33$ profit playing some NL2 and also NL5 6-max games, but I also played a lot of tournaments with higher buyins than my BR and they didn't goo to good. Therefore this weeks results is only +$1.20. My biggest problem now atm is to stick with NL2 6-max zoom, but it get's a bit to boring sometimes and especially when a lot of players call anyhand against a 3 bet preflop, so therefore I played some NL5 6-max zoom as well. Except for that I play some tournaments with higher buy ins and I also need to learn to play better in the MTTs. Hopefully I will make a bigger profit soon.

As for this week I'm actually going to take a break since I have an exam next week. So I'll see you around in a week!

Haha wow, where did you hear so much about me? But yes; I am Swedish indeed! From Dalarna! Where in Sweden are you from? Thanks for your well wishes! GL for your exam, I have one on Saturday. Brrr.

Haha, well a lot might be a bit excessive from my side, but yeah I found your BR challenge a long time a go and started to follow how it went there
Cool, my granparents are from Dalarna, they live in Borlänge and Falun. Ty and you too! What are you studying?

hahah, crazy coincidence, I am from one of those two cities although I live in Germany right now, so I study German and some other not so fun stuff.

hehe yeah that's crazy. Oh ok nice with studying German.
Hope that you did well on the exam that you had.
I had mine today hopefully I will pass it.

He grimpop,

CU,SvenBe!

Hi SvenBe!

The BR challenge is going good, but I took a break last week since I had an exam, and I reported in the thread that I would take 1 week off. I will update my BR stats this monday that will come on the 18th.
I hope that is ok.

Week 5
Hands: 21 176
Tournaments: 89
Loss: -$6,4
BR$78.56

Well I had some good runs and some bad runs, avtually my BR was up to $128 but then I started running bad and played to high stakes so therefore I'm down to 78$.

Hi again,

I've decided to cancel this challenge since I no longer have time to play a lot of poker since I need to focus on my School.
I hope I will be back after a while and take a new challenge!

Good luck to all of you with your challenges!
