From a $20 deposit to a $5k cashout
We say congrats to a Bankroll Challenger who really turned not much into a whole lot, plus we laugh at our editor for being on a downswing.
Congrats to our coach and who both completed their Bankroll Challenges this week.
In particular we have to say a huge congrats to Tim, who on his blog showed us how it started......

....and how it finished. Nice!

It may be PLO, but Quads vs Quads is always noteworthy - well done to mascherano95 for being on the right side of that.
Finally, our editor is on such a downswing he wasn't even able to bring up the strength to post a picture of his dog this week, so we forced him to do it here. Here is Arthur after his first big boy haircut....

What is the Bankroll Challenge?
In the Bankroll Challenge we encourage our members to get better by blogging about their poker journey and setting some ambitious goals.
Our members found that having a blog kept them accountable to their goals and it's a great way to help them get to know their fellow PokerStrategists. As the saying goes 'what gets measured, gets managed' and simply having a blog keeps you on your A-Game.
To help you on your journey and with a little bit of luck you can win $100 that we will raffle once a month among our active bloggers, regardless of where they play, accompanied by a special badge for their forum avatar for anyone succeeding in their first Bankroll Challenge.
How to join the Bankroll Challenge
The challenge is open to all PokerStrategists and you do not need to be tracked to us to participate. All you need to do is:
- Start a blog in our forum.
- State your starting bankroll, your regular stakes/games and your poker room in the first post.
- Set a long term bankroll goal of at least $500 and/or a minimum of five times your starting bankroll.
- Sign-up to the Bankroll Challenge in our registration thread, with a link to your personal blog, your initial bankroll and your goal.
- Post at least once a week in your blog.
Once a month we will raffle $100 among all eligble PokerStrategists participating in the Bankroll Challenge regardless of where you play.
