What are the odds on this happening?
Our Bankroll Challengers had a crazy week of double bad beats, $6k wins and sick PLO spots. Plus we have the latest KKPoker raffle winners!
Our good friend Mantelo is usually posting big wins, but when he posts his losses they still deliver.
What are the odds on this? Getting dealt Aces on both final tables at the same time, and getting them cracked by the SAME opponent on both tables? Please tell us how this happens?
Of course if you are a PLO player you have seen much scarier stuff. This week ghaleon posted a hand where he got it in on the turn behind, yet still a 57.50% favourite. You don't see that in No Limit.
Congrats to our KKPoker grinder Maciekmax who turned an early morning start into $6,357 payday in an MTT. Not bad considering his challenge was in cash games.
Struggling for motivation? Finding it hard to put in volume? Well don't read the blog of Kostja007. He was pretty down on himself as he hasn't put much volume in because he was moving house. Yeah, he ONLY played 31,000 hands this week....
Finally, another one of our members is making their Bankroll Challenge an audio/visual thing. Great work LahtiPelican who has made a video of him playing for your feedback:
Our KKPoker winners....
Every month on top of cash prizes we give the members who are grinding their challenge on KKPoker an extra incentive to keep playing. This week we announce the latest KKPoker card winners.
Congratulations to Ancymonka who has won a Black Card and well done to keTTTu who is the lucky winner of a Silver Card.
You can win these prizes too this month and every month if you join our Bankroll Challenge.
The Bankroll Challenge results so far
We have had plenty of movement in our first few weeks of Bankroll Challenging, but in particular we have to say 'good luck' to megabarsuk911 who is already 96% of the way through their challenge. Could next week be their 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.
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.
- If you participate at KKPoker, your results will be tracked automatically but you still need to update your blog at least once a week.
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.
