Why poker players should not skip breakfast
Our Bankroll Challengers have been working on their mental and physical game this week, find out why one of them won't be skipping breakfast.
Our coach confidant91 has turned his blog into something of a self-help resource for poker players.
Previous weeks he has been experimenting with swimming, cold showers and increasing his testosterone.
This week, during his birthday, he got some great advice on why fasting is a bad idea for poker players from Psderrrr:
"Skipping breakfast is not something most people should be doing it's hard to start good eating habits by skipping breakfast I would say it's probably better for people who already have a good handle on their eating and with specific goals."
Mental game and Geocaching
livethelife7 has just returned from a holiday in Gran Canaria where not only did he soak up some rays, he also won €629 in a local live tournament.
inceptioner has also been making the most of the outdoors. After a few cashes in MicroMillions he has been taking a break by GeoCaching.
He is 64% of the way to his goal and this week bonecore was concentrating on his mental game. He thinks he needs to brush up on some of the basics to hit his $1,000 target.
Finally congratulations to gooncal1 who is the lucky winner of a Status Upgrade this week!
You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today!
