Challenge after week 16:

BR: $73,19
Hands Played: 19.245

Not too far from an other NL10 shot. Also the goal was to play 40 hours in October and I am at 26 playing hours. Should be easy to finish in time.

Meanwhile I made only $23,19 in the Tankroll hallenge, my GG poker account went from $0 to $31,69. Maybe I can overtake the man challenge from $0 :f_biggrin:

This week I haven’t played much, the result was pretty much break even.

Last 3 weeks PokerStars gave me rake $5, get $2 back weekly challenges. This week I barely made it, but they raised my challenge to rake $55, get $22. With my volume and limit the raise was reasonable and it is impossible to complete it. I don’t know the reason why they made the raise, but is very annoying IMO.

Didn't even opt in for the Stars challenge and get the same again today.

Main challenge didn't really move in results, it's at $73,88 and a few $ woth of MTT tickets. Also I am at $47,25 at GG Poker from nothing. Also I have a bunch of GGCare tickets, so maybe that will change at tomorrows draw.

I had a week off from work and poker as well.

Won $19,6 on the draw. Also I only played the freebies, so the GG roll is $67. Reach this roll from 0 is a good result IMO and since I don’t want to play two challenges at the same time, the plan is to move the GG roll to 888 and continue the tankroll challenge there and on PolerStars.

Hey NemoKala!

My name stucked with me because of my highschool hobby. Since that more than 14 years passed and unfortunately I don't follow hockey anymore.

Challenge update

:diamond: Starting roll: $50
:diamond: Hands played: 34 619
:diamond: Current roll: $238,79

I would attach graphs, but seems like the good old drag and drop doesn't work anymore on thew forum.

Maybe it's something with wrong with Chrome, it works with an other browser.

The challenge altogether:

NL2:

NL5:

NL10:

Only thing I am fine with is my EV line, but the 30k hand in 6 months is awful volume. I hope I can play more this year and wuth the bigger volume the green line will catch up to the EV.

Hey PsychofFin! Thanks for your comment and GL at the tables! :f_drink:

Since the last update I lost a significant ammount of my roll.

To be honest, it is quite annoying that I won 10 ev bb/100, but I only realized 37% of it. The graph is 6 months, but I don't remember when I finished a session above EV last time.

Variance is cruel if you play low volume like I did, even with big winraate.

BR currently at $190,41

Thank you, of course I will keep on grinding :f_drink:

This week I played 4 478 hand, which I am satisfied with.

EV is still stong and 2nd to last hand saved this weeks green line as well.

BR is at $207,34 and still far behind EV.

An other week below EV. I am getting tired of this s...t really...

BR at $182,38. The gap between the EV and net won in the challenge is a lot bigger thn the roll itself.... So sick

After reading my last post, I admitted that I wasn't in the right mindset to play, so I decided not to play again until I was feeling ready.

Starting BR: $50
Goal: $500
Hands: 61k
BR at the moment: $252,37

I realized an important thing: If I beat a limit before, it doesnn't mean I still has it. So I started to work on my game more. Also 8,35bb/100 won in EV is not bad, but with the level of table selection I do, the goal has to be double figure winrate at least.

P.S.: Can someone win more than once in the blogger raffle? :f_biggrin:
