Somebody has already completed the Bankroll Challenge
Today we say well done to our first Bankroll Challenge completed and we also have the results of our first $100 raffle!
Wow! You guys didn't waste any time. Over in our Russian community our moderator GeorgSLON has already completed his challenge to get to $1,000. There is no waiting around, he is already on the road to getting to $5,000!
OK, we have to back track a little. He did indeed complete his Bankroll Challenge just a few weeks after we launched the return of this promotion, but he had actually never ended his previous Bankroll Challenge the first time. So rather than a story about somebody completing it in weeks, this is actually a testament to how much he stuck with the plan over time. Either way, well done sir!
Now this is the way to make the most of the Bankroll Challenge. monteCarlol has not only been posting blogs, he has been recording his play and uploading them as videos. Visit his blog and let him know how you think he is playing.
A lot of you may be collecting NFTs of rocks but our Bankroll Challenge legend Mantelo is collecting GGPoker avatars. This week he got an Ox for winning the Zodiac Marathon.
It's hard enough to win with Aces in a 50BB No Limit pot, will they hold in a 500BB PLO pot with over €1,300 in the middle of the table? Join SeagalSteven for a big PLO sweat.
Finally, what can go wrong when you have 88 on an 855 flop? No spoilers but this funny gif hand review from AgapieGheorghe ends like this.....
Our $100 winner....
OK, you skipped straight past the blog updates didn't you? OK, wait no longer, here are the winners of our first Bankroll Challenge Raffle.
Congratulations to Dartablasta who is the first winner of a Platinum Card at KKPoker - put it to good use sir!
Well done also to Blad3K who is the first winner of $100, which will be credited direct to his Tell-a-Friend account.
You can win these prizes too this month and every month if you join our Bankroll Challenge. The next update is on September 20th!

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.
