Grinders and gamblers, start your engines!

More accurately, start your blogs - we're running a November Marathon for players of all games to show off their skills and their volume.

Whether your game is cash, MTTs, or SNGs, a regular grind and blog in November will net you a session review from one of our coaches.

How do I take part in the November marathon?

Here's the three simple steps to participating in the November Marathon:

1. Start your blog in our Successes and Challenges forum - include your poker history, a quick biography, your goals for the month, and most importantly your screen name. IMPORTANT: include the word "Marathon" in your blog title!

2. Update your blog 3x per week, including proof of volume. Try to make the updates more in-depth than simply a volume post - how were your sessions? Anything giving you trouble? It's more fun to read and it can help you out, too!

3. All results will be verified by PokerStrategy.com - no cheating!

NOTE: we will accept only SharkScope/Hold'em Manager/PokerTracker screenshots as proof of volume. Your screenname must be clearly stated in your original post and visible in all screenshots. bwin.Party rooms are excluded from the promotion.

What can I win?

There's some great stuff to be one, with the top grinder in each discipline (cash, SNG, MTT) being given a recorded session review from one of our coaching heroes in each of the games.

Also, there's a goodie bag raffle on offer for those who hit milestones in each game (see below).

Cash game players Sit & Go players Tournament players
Variants: All poker games and table sizes.

Prize: The winner will receive a recorded session review from  <nobr>Adminpleno1</nobr>*.

Goodie bags: All players who play 10,000 hands or more will be entered into a raffle to win 5x PokerStrategy.com goodie bags.

Variants: All SNGs from heads-up to 180-seat games.

Prize: The winner will receive a recorded session review from  <nobr>AdminCollin Moshman</nobr>.

Goodie bags: All players who play 250 games or more will be entered into a raffle to win 5x PokerStrategy.com goodie bags.

Variants: All multi-table tournaments in any game.

Prize: The winner will receive a recorded session review from  <nobr>Adminpokerguru740</nobr>.

Goodie bags: All players who play 100 tournaments or more will be entered into a raffle to win 5x PokerStrategy.com goodie bags.

*If an Omaha player wins the cash marathon, they will win a session review with Skodljivec; Fixed Limit players will win a session review with Boomer2k10.

The goodie bags contain PokerStrategy.com card decks, dealer buttons, lanyards, poker chips, and of course our rubber duck "Squeezy".

I already have a blog in successes and challenges and playing high volume (4200 6 max turbos a month). Do I have to open a new thread for this promotion or you will take into account the old one also?
Thanks :)

How will you determine the top grinder? If its number of hands then us non-zoom(/fast fold) players obviously don't stand a chance.

Hey guys

In order to win, you must follow the steps above:

Create a blog, set your goals, make 3x updates a week, make the required goals target. Once the month has ended and results have been published, all successful players from each category will be entered into a raffle. The most successful grinder in each category will win a coaching on top - that person will be picked by the coach themselves :)

Best of luck!

Sure, just add Marathon to the blog title (edit the first post in your blog) and we will allow it for sure :)

But how do you judge who is the most successful in each category? Hands played? Tourneys played? Winnings? ...

This is at the coaches discretion as far as I know. I'll have to check this out with the promotion organiser and I will get back to you :)
