I finally decided to open my Facebook page. Idea behind having my own FB page is a bit weird to me, but I had to make one eventually. So here it is. Don't expect much as I'll probably post most of the things here in my PStrategy blog anyway But I'll appreciate any likes from you guys
Btw, it was really fun session today on Twitch, with lots of viewers. Didn't do that great money-wise, but hey... Can't win every session, right? I'll make an update tomorrow and weekly update on Monday. Tomorrow I'm playing in Sunday Million so... Good luck to anyone who's also in
Day 19 of Bankroll Challenge
Like I said yesterday, pretty fun session with lots of viewers. I also extended my livestream for one hour. My GF was cooking lunch this time, so I could afford to play a bit longer. Which was good, because we tried to win back our losses anyway. (Don't do this at home kids! :P) So at the end this was one of the longest sessions I've ever played. Altogether 4 hours and 1 minute and 1097 hands. But as already mentioned, I lost $4,93 at the end. Could be worse
Tonight I'm playing in Sunday Million. +$1M for first place so today is definitely time to use my "one time", if I go deep in this tournament Many people asked me if I'm gonna stream, but I decided that I won't. There will be many good players streaming SM, including Jcarver, Staples, Felix and many others. So go watch those guys!
Oh forgot to mention this. I was playing my regular limits few days ago and all of a sudden I see a $5/$10 table with Jason Somerville. Of course I opened Twitch and saw that he's actually streaming and thinking of playing Limit Hold'em. Of course I sat down at the table and even change seats so I could get position on him. He noticed that and I know it looked a bit weird and scummy, but I just wanted the best Jcarver experience that's all So he playes 3 orbits or something like that, wins a hand and hit&runs us for $6. But hey, I played with Jason! I actually saw him playing $10/$20 yesterday when he wasn't streaming so... He might be back and I marked him as a "buddy" ♠_evil:
I've played three session in Week 6 again. Same as in every other week so far Played 2746 hands for almost 10 hours altogether. Day 17 and 18 were good, Day 19 unfortunately not so and that's how we recorded a profit of $6,07. We are still doing great overall. I looked at my winrate from the start of this challenge and I'm winning for more than 2BB/100 (4bb/100), which is great for Limit Hold'em. Of course I hope that it stays this way. Poker pro really shouldn't win with anything less than that ♦

So how does the overall graph look so far?
Here's an overall graph of the first 20 days. (I haven't made a report for Day 20, tho).
Yesterday I've also played in 9th Anniversary Sunday Million. At the end I got into the money, but unfortunately nothing more than that. At least some of my railers got a piece of me. The biggest piece was $30,25. Will have to wait for that million dollar prize till next year
I also "lost" in the last longest promo against my fellow Team Pro Online members. mement_mori and LadyMaCe were placed higher than me. It was pretty nice promo and hope we do something like that again.
Day 20 of Bankroll Challenge
I already posted overall graph from the first 20 days, so if someone got too much time on his hand, one could calculate how I did yesterday at the tables. But if you can't be bothered... I won $3,24 ♦ It was an OK day, nothing special happened. What I noticed is that I definitely give too much credit to these players. I make some tough folds that I probably shouldn't be making them. Sometimes I call just because "hey, its only 20c" and then I see some weird, illogical hand from the villian. I mean when you think about it, kinda makes sense... We are playing for cents here and good players obv won't be playing these stakes, but still... I need to call down more
It will be a bit easier at 25c/50c, when I'll start making notes and color codes on players. Currently everytime I start a session is like me being at these limits the first time. I can recall few nicknames that I like to avoid, but that is it. Can't remember any plays and other weird stuff that guys did in previous sessions, so... it's definitely going to be easier when I start making notes.
Tomorrow I'll do Day 21 and also livestream of course. We will also hit 500 VPP in these 21 days, which means we'll be SilverStars on PokerStars! Yaay, right? 1,5x multiplier FTW! In all seriousness, I'm kinda surprised that you can achieve SilverStar VIP status in 3 weeks 3 tabling these micro stakes. Now the question is... Should we be gunning for $25 bonus for 2250 FPP, or should we take $10 for 1000 FPPs? ♦
Day 21 of Bankroll Challenge
And here's day 21 already, essentially completing our "third week" of play. Ending my session over $80 for the first time means we actually managed to quadruple our bankroll in three weeks, which is obv a great result, even though some viewers on Twitch thinks, that me being a pro would mean I go from $20 to $1000 in a week or so We also hit our 500 VPP requirement for SilverStar VIP, so pretty good day I'd say.
Of course I need to showoff my new status on Twitch, so I'll need a bit of pimping up to do... Hope I do it before my next stream, which will be on Saturday at 2:30 AM CET. So AM, not PM. MicroMillions-015 event starts at 3:00am and I intend to livestream it too.

Tomorrow I'm going to the biggest sports event here in Slovenia. It's a Sky-Flying competition in Planica. 30k people expected so I'm sure it's going to be a blast. Everyone expecting a world record, but I'll be happy with a Slovenian winning ♦
Here's how it looks when you jump/fly 237,5 meters. Btw, its kinda loud.
Day 22 of Bankroll Challenge
This time I did a combination of two Limit Hold'em cash tables AND a MicroMillions Event #15, which was $5.50 FL Hold'em [6-Max, Turbo], $5K Gtd. I started playing at 2:30am while being up for more than 17 hours, was very tired and needed to "wake up" in 4 hours, so... Wasn't the best plan but I promised to stream so I did it anyway
I lost few dollars at the cash tables, but we cashed in the tournament! So all good in the end and one step closer to 25c/50c
You finished the tournament in 210th place. A USD 10.16 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
Start of Day 22 BR: $86,40
Cash games Profit: -$2,79
Tournament Profit: $4,66

Part 1 of Day 22 videos
Why was I tired yesterday? Well because I attended a Skiflying competition like I said that I will in my post above. It was great, being there with +15k other people and cheering for skifliers. Slovenia got a 1st and 2nd place, beating 3rd placed Austrian by 0,1 point and the best German was in 4th place so... It went great ♦ The biggest flight of the day was 248,5 meter by Peter Prevc. Here are some pictures so you can see the magnitude of this ski-jumping hill (it's the biggest one in the world).
Some photos:
All the hills in this nordic center. The biggest one in the left.
250m big beast.
Me posing few hours before the start when I could actually do a photo or two.
Crowd of 15k people on Friday. Today there were even more people, about 30k.
And some stockphotos
And a video when our hero received his trophy for 1st place.
Yeah I figured it was a reference to something, but didn't know to what because I've never watched this show (apart from episode 1). American Dad is on my watch list for ages, but so are tons of other tv series and movies ♦
Three new sessions this week for total of 2055 hands and we have also played in one FL tournament, which we cashed. Started week 7 with $73,92 in bankroll and ended with $88,27. Second best week so far and we are closer and closer to our goal of $1000 Well first I need to reach 25c/50c, which might happen in week 8. I hope! Without further ado, here are the results and graphs.
Day 23 of Bankroll Challenge
Best day so far, AINEC! Before the start of this session I said that I need $12 to hit $100 bankroll and that this is probably not going to happen... Boy I was wrong ♦ Hit $100 after an hour of play, so we actually moved up to 25c/50c during our session. And it didn't stop there, because we ran pretty great on the higher limit too.
I'll let the numbers speak for itself
Start of Day 23 BR: $88,27
Profit: $38,31
End of Day 23 BR: $126,58
Very nice blog you've got there Coreysteel! I was just able to get some T$'s from playing FPP qualifiers to the MicroMillions events and traded those in for real money. Since it's a small bankroll and since I have some FL experience I dabbled into the FL 6max tables on PokerStars. Mind you, it's only the 0.02/0.04 limit, but I'm greatly motivated by your personal challenge. I'll try my best to hop in to your stream. Best of luck!

Really, Luka? Really? Did you really need to jinx yourself here? ♦
From the best livestreaming day to the worst in just one session. Well this is poker, it can be cruel sometimes. Nothing to worry tho, we are still in profit for this week. I mean, its $1 profit, but still ♦
I looked at my stats at the end. I know I wasn't playing my best A game, which I also told during the livestream, but when you have 36% WTS and 33% W$@SD you just can't win money in a session like that, no matter what
Even though I fell under $100 again, I'm staying at 25c/50c. I decided that I'm gonna move down when I'm in the middle point of two different stakes. For example. If requirement for 10c/20c is $40 and for 25c/50c is $100, the middle point is $70 and this is when I'll move down to lower limit. Let's hope this doesn't happen anytime soon, but we know that sooner or later it will.

That's awesome to hear! 2c/4c limit is definitely correct limit to start playing when you have small bankroll like that. Try to play your A game, read the articles here on PokerStrategy, join my livestreams and try to get something useful out of it and your bankroll will definitely grow.
Next opportunity on Saturday, when I'm also going to stream my MicroMillions event. Maybe we can score big in FL event? http://www.twitch.tv/coreysteel111
Saturday, March 28th - 17:00 CET (12:00pm ET) + MicroMillions #087 event
But I'll appreciate any likes from you guys 
I'll make an update tomorrow and weekly update on Monday. Tomorrow I'm playing in Sunday Million so... Good luck to anyone who's also in 
So he playes 3 orbits or something like that, wins a hand and hit&runs us for $6. But hey, I played with Jason! 
We also hit our 500 VPP requirement for SilverStar VIP, so pretty good day I'd say.
