A big score for nmilan84

More success for our members this week in the Bankroll Challenge.

The hero of the week is without doubt nmilan84 who has become our second member to complete his bankroll challenge. 

His goal was to get to $2,500, which he didn't just beat, he SMASHED his goal. All thanks to a $6k tournament score. We hope that he starts a new challenge with his healthy new roll. 

Also joining the challenge this week we have husky333. Welcome!

A novel way to set goals

Some people think writing your goals down will help them happen, but GoOnCal1 has a different approach. He has actually set out his goals in the form of a future newspaper reporting on his success - it's lots of fun so check it out. 

kidzoltan is also taking a positive approach this month, and has learned a lot from a Dale Carnegie classic to help him overcome some major obstacles in life.

PokerStars Pro CoreySteel has a blog well worth checking as it covers such a wide range of topics - Twitch, Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, hot babes, limit poker and he even makes his own videos every day. 

One person who has every reason to get blogging is vonki who is the lucky winner of our status upgrade and can now enjoy Silver content. 

You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today!
