Poker is not dead...so set yourself a Bankroll Challenge
This week our Bankroll Challengers completed their challenges for free, crushed chess, crushed bounties and found opponents who call with seven high. Plus we announce the next $100 winner.
The Bankroll Challenge is all about setting big goals and our man Mantelo is the King of that. This year he wants to final table the Sunday Million, play 10,000 €100 Spins and study 360 hours. With two months left he might not make that final table but he did score three sick bounties in a single hand last week when he played it:
One member who has achieved his goals in fine style is KeTTTu who got a free MTT ticket at KKPoker which he turned into a $551 2nd place finish in a PKO. So he completed his Bankroll Challenge for free!
Another player well onto his way to completing ths challenge is our own editor Barry Carter who managed a whole €0.05 of profit after a busy week. At this rate he will have completed his challenge in 1,923 years time.
Speaking of needing a small profit, our Russian member megabarsuk911 is 99% of the way to their challenge being completed, they just need $21 more....can you rail them on to doing it?
Our German member PokerSpass is having a great week - a nice profit at the tables and a 2.3k ELO chess rating too.
Finally, pokerplayernumber1 with your weekly reminder that poker is far from dead (seven high edition)....
$100 winner.....
It's that time again folks, we have picked another lucky winner to pocket $100 simply for being a Bankroll Challenger and this week our raffle winner is.......
Congratulations to lahtipelican - you will soon get $100 in your Tell-a-Friend account.
The Bankroll Challenge results so far
As we mentioned we have a Bankroll Challenger who is literally 99% of the way to their goal this week....can get complete the challenge next week?

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.
Extra Prizes with the KKPoker Boost
If you do your challenge at KKPoker you not only get a headstart because of the 50% Rakeback they are offering any PokerStrategist signing up.
Our mobile-only partner is throwing in more prizes for all Bankroll Challenge bloggers, with Silver, Black and Platinum Cards raffled monthly among any PokerStrategist taking part in the Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker.
What's more, anyone completing their first Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker will get a month's Platinum Card and Samurai Era Pack, with the cards unlocking exciting game features including opponent HUD stats and the Samurai Pack unlocking special card themes and a new table layout.
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. Remember though that you will benefit from extra prizes if you take part in the Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker.

Once a month we will raffle $100 among all eligble PokerStrategists regardless of where you play. Players participating at KKPoker get an exclusive KKPoker Boost where you're able to win Silver, Black and Platinum Cards on top.
