Game selection is also about promo selection
Our Bankroll Challengers have been boasting about girlfriends, crushing leaderboards, training ranges and giving their one time to a sick puppy.
Our Bankroll Challengers have been doing something you don't often see in poker - girlfriend brags.
taavi1337 treated us to a classic poker forum style joke about his girlfriend's ambitions with his winnings vs the reality of his winnings. Can he keep her happy?
A reminder that game selection is also about picking the right promotions at a poker room - riffman117 had a very nice bankroll boost for a top finish in a cash game leader board. That's six extra buy-ins just because he grinded at the right site!
Did you know Equilab has a free equity trainer? mjez1 has discovered it and been having some fun with it. It really is one of the best free tools out there.
Finally, thanks to all of you who loaned your one time, or more specifically to his dog Charlie. The old mutt had a cancer scare this week but, for now, he has the all clear:

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.
