The upside of sleep deprivation
One of our funniest Bankroll Challenge stories also led to one of our biggest member wins this week, it's well worth a read.
It was a big week for our moderator malendes who had a massive score in pretty funny circumstances. This is one of the rare stories where sleep deprivation was an upside.
After a long session he almost fell asleep at the final table of The Big $7.50. Three handed he was against two solid player who he really should have taken a deal against, but he got frustrated waiting for a moderator so he declined it.....and won it for $1,530.
And so to some well earned rest.....nah, instead he registered for a bunch more tournaments despite being exhausted......and won another $1,285.
Don't try this at home kids, but do read his very funny take on the 26 hour session.
No shame in dropping down stakes
Not all of us can snooze our way to victory and krisrukov is currently struggling at NL10. Check out his new video on how to dropped down to NL5 to recover from a bad run at NL10.
Our Level Up promotion is back and our current leader rhodriguez is hoping to make the most of it while playing PLO25.
If you haven't seen it already, we highly recommend you also check out Level Up because it really complements the Bankroll Challenge as a great and lucrative extra mini goal this month. You can win a status upgrade and up to $100 just for consistent play at the tables in November.
Finally the winner of a status upgrade this week is......ka0s!
