Week 34
Hands 1000
Profit +$48.03
Bankroll $303.22

A small part of my bankroll is in € but to make things simple, I will treat them as $.

This week I won some, lost some. Played bad and ran bad. My NL10 is going better but I'm digging a big hole at NL5.

Week 35
Hands 586 + some twisters
Profit +$74,88
Bankroll $378,1

I think I haven't ever won this much in one week.. I have now got up from the huge hole that I dug myself in while taking a shot at NL10. I still play NL10 and now it is going well.

I'm still struggling to decide whether to play at Stars or do I go to some iPoker skin and start grinding the first deposit bonus. Maybe I'll play at stars for a while and then decide :)

Week 36
Hands 514
Profit +$29.5
Bankroll $407.60

This is getting difficult.. Now I have half of my bankroll in euros. I also have some slot machine losses that I have discounted from the beginning. I discounted the correct amount of those losses in correct currency and checked the exchange rate with Google. Now this should tell my correct bankroll in dollars :f_biggrin:

My volume has been low but I'm steadily climbing up. I have achieved my earlier, not too ambitious, goals. Those were that by this summer I have fixed some mental leaks and playing NL5 profitably. I'm actually ahead of that since I have now started playing NL10 too.
My new goals are to balance study, poker and my social life and get even better at playing. I'm aiming at completing my bankroll challenge by the end of this year and I'm hoping that I will be able to take a shot at NL25 by the end of this year too.

Oh, what do you do with slot machine winnings :-)
For the BR challenge i anyway take the reports without adding $ or €, but of course for your own accounting you should keep the currency in.

I don't usually play slots
888 gave me a casino bonus and I tried to play that but accidentally ended up pressing some kind of auto-spin that took 30$ from my bankroll. No worries, I'm not cheating with slot machine wins :f_biggrin:

Week 39
Hands 398 + a few tourneys
Profit +$23,4
Bankroll $S479,39

Once again my volume was super low. Summer is not a good grinding time for me. Still those hands that I played I managed to play profitably. I'm quite happy with my results. This is the sixth winning week in a row. This time most of the profit came from tournament wins.

Yesterday I played 2 events at PokerStrategy's weekend series. Unfortunately those were the only games I got to play this time. It was great fun (until SvenBe came and took my money). :f_confused: :f_biggrin:

Big thank you for everyone who made this happen! I'll be looking forward to our next weekend series :f_thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to a rematch :f_drink:

I started this week strong but on Friday I hit a nasty downswing. I ran super bad, a couple of coolers and I just didn't hit anything. Took me over 700 hands to complete Stars Pyramid promo.. Was waiting for a straight over 300 hands (after the pyramid was otherwise completed) :D Fortunately I got some of the losses back yesterday and today so my week is not very badly negative.
I also noticed that my game is not mentally as strong as it should be. A long cold run still makes me do stupid things. Maybe I should read The Mental Game of Poker again :f_biggrin:

So here are the results:

Week 40
Hands 2244
Profit -$4.76
Bankroll $474.63

wow.. I actually lost a lot less than I expected. Those Pyramid promo moneys really helped. It is sad that this was the last day of that promo. :(

I was bored so I made a graph of my bankroll challenge progress with Excel :)

I have had a 2 week brake from poker. That is mostly because of summer, work and Netflix. I have been quite inactive on the forums too :(
I will start my studies at the end of this month and probably will start playing more actively and start reviewing hands on the forum too :f_thumbsup:

My goal is to finish my bankroll challenge in one year. I have got only 8 weeks left and around 500$ to go so doesn't look too promising but I'm gonna try This is the first time I cross the 500$ line :)
