Welcome to my blog – Spin and Twist Adventures

I am planning to update this blog weekly and share with you my progress in “Spin and Go” on PokerStars and “Twister” on iPoker Network.
After playing poker for one year I have decided to concentrate on one format only mostly due to time constrains. With a bit of luck I will be able to play and study 20h a week (10h study/10h play). This might be difficult as I am working full time and have family obligations (wife, 4 kids and a dog).

My 1st Get Rich or Die Trying - The Bankroll Challenge:
Starting BR: $400 ($200 PS and $200 iPoker)
Goal BR: $2000

I will be using the following BM:

Hey poker4tatko,

Firstly, Welcome to the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' bankroll challenge. we will be looking forward to your first update which you should post by Monday of each week in Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge - Reporting thread.

Not the best week. The variance was brutal .. the best excuse for playing badly :f_grin: I have decided to move my funds to PokerStars to open more chests in new reward system. See you next week.

Keep it up, and don't let variance affect you.

Does your profit include rakeback? The Pokerstars chest rewards suck, I would have probably moved the BR the other way around ;)

Also it would be interesting to see your chipEV per tournament, and also compare it between rooms.
