How Dartablasta crushed the Bankroll Challenge
We chat to one of our first members to complete the Bankroll Challenge at our new partner site KKPoker.
What stakes did you start at and what stakes are you playing now?
Dartablasta: I started out playing freerolls and now I'm playing $15 to $55 buy-in tournaments.
How long have you been playing poker and what got you started in poker?
Dartablasta: About six years ago, and I was playing chess online when I got an invitation to join a poker room.. I fell in love with the game.
How long have you been a member of PokerStrategy and what do you like about it?
Dartablasta: About four years and PokerStrategy is the best school, I really like their promotions, also the community is very friendly, and the content that they offer teaches you a lot!
"Always keep your vision of your goal"
What made you join the Bankroll Challenge?
Dartablasta: I was invited by a friend to join in. I found the experience of blogging made me do my best, so I was able to show some good results at the tables.
You got to your first goal to get $500 very quickly, what was your secret to success?
Dartablasta: Three things... Bankroll management, making then most of site promotions and being focused on everything that happens at the table.
You got there at our new partner KKPoker, is it as soft as we have been telling our members?
Dartablasta: Yes it is, there are a lot of recreational players! It is quite a comfortable site to play and very fun at the same time, it has a lot of options that allow you to interact much more with people.
What is your advice to other Bankroll Challengers?
Dartablasta: Always keep the vision on your goal and never give up.
What is your next Bankroll goal?
Dartablasta: I'm going to try to reach $1500.. Then, maybe i can increase that to 5K!
You can see how Dartablasta does with that goal by following his Bankroll Challenge blog.
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.
