Taking cold showers when you are running hot
The Summer is really taking its toll on our Bankroll Challengers, but they are finding some novel ways to deal with the heat.
Relatively new Challenger inceptioner is really putting the effort in. This week he decided that NL2 is too low a stake to motivate himself:
"Yeah, fuck NL2. Playing it is not worth my time. If I'm going down, I'm going down in NL5."
So far it's working out quite well for him. This week not only did he play the most hands of any of our Bankroll Challenge bloggers (34,065) he also increased his bankroll by the biggest percentage (97%).
Check out his blog to see if he can keep it up.
How to handle the heat
PokerStars Pro coreysteel always entertains on his blog, even if it's just showing us how his cat finds good shade in the summer weather (Right):
Our coach confidant91 returns to the Challenge after his studies and one of his goals is to improve his productivity by taking cold showers.
mjperry is running hotter than the weather this week. He won €400 on a horse race, even more on a WSOP Main Event bet and finally chopped a live tournament for €300.
Finally congratulations to srna10 who is the lucky winner of a Status Upgrade this week!
You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today!
