He husky333,

well done for crushing the challenge! Why wait till January to come back with a new goal?
Anyways, look at the shiny gold status that you earned for the next month!

Again, well done and keep on crushing! (although i would probably kill myself twice a week when i had 24 tourneys without cash)

A couple of days ago I treated myself and purchased a new little monster laptop.

Proccesor: Intel Core i7 (3.60 Ghz)
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
Hard Drive: 256 GB SSD
Graphic card: nVidia GeForce GTX 960M 4GB
Display: 15,6''UHD LED (3 840 x 2 160), IPS panel (slim)

how much did it cost?

Thank you for the gold status SvenBe! You made my day :f_drink:
I don't normally care about statuses but this particular month I do :f_biggrin: There are some good looking videos from LuckyLukePS I would like to watch but most of them require a gold status. I still needed 200 points and I would probably have to play some SnG in order to get en extra 200 PS within a week :tongue:

I'm running an e-shop and the busy Christmas is kicking in pretty soon. There is gonna be absolutely no time for poker (maybe Sunday). That's why I will rejoin the Bankroll Challenge in January next year.

I play any rebuy up to €3 and freezout up to €5. I was wondering whether it's worth it to play 500 Gtd for €5 or 500 Gtd for €1 (5 x tourneys for €5 and have better chance to reach FT).

I would rather not to reveal my nick in public but you can PM me.

oh, that sounds very interesting - what stuff are you selling? Looking for ideas for xmas already! Should you manage to still reach the 500SP, you can send us a ticket and would get the upgrade increased to platinum :) (please quote this post, so our support guys know what you are talking about).

CU,Sven

Last week started quite well but then it went down the hill up until the Sunday :f_biggrin:

Spoiler

I wanted to set my little private challenge till the end of October 2015 as I am still gonna have some time to grind and if I manage to end up with $300+ in profit, I would treat myself and buy a 28" monitor.
The challenge has been completed before it even started as I managed to won The Big €5, €3000 Gtd on Monday and cashed in over €700 for the 1st place :f_drink:

Spoiler

I might set up another challenge from today but in the mean time I'm gonna go to get a new monitor :f_drink:

So my new monitor has arrived Acer 27" with resolution 2560x1440 :f_biggrin:
It's a joy to work with it. Here is my setup:

Spoiler

Notebook 15", Philips 22", Acer 27"

Poker wise I have been too busy to grind this month.
Graph for last month:

Spoiler

I played only on Sunday last week 24 tourneys and finished with -45% ROI :f_biggrin:
It ain't any better this week. So far I've played only 27 tourneys and the curve is still going down the hill :f_biggrin:
I didn't end up in loss only thanks for 2nd place in €200 Gtd.

he husky, a rollercoaster it always is for you, isn't it?
Are you going for another challenge for your Bankroll ?

btw, about the screens - I'd hate to have two of such a different size, also the brightness seems to be so much different?

Hey SvenBe,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. My wife was in the hospital and I had to look after the kids apart from other activities and duties. So I didn't have much time for poker.
I'm going for another challenge from January 2016. You will find out more in the interview here.

I would definitely love to have an instant climbing rather than a roller-coaster, but it would be a bit boring, wouldn't it? :f_biggrin:

I played 23 tourneys a couple of days ago on Sunday and had quite a nice run. Well unfortunately I got out pretty early from the IPOPS €50k tournament, (won a €20 token in a freeroll). Apart from that I hit 4 final tables. It was in small field micro tournaments and I finished just on the following places: 2nd, 2 x 6th, 8th and other 2 small cashes, but it's still better than nothing, isn't it? :f_biggrin:

Size doesn't matter to me (talking about monitor) :D

Yeah the older monitor looks very dark on the picture but when I adjusted the brightness it's ok now. Well it's slightly darkish than the new one, but I got used to it and now don't see a difference.
When my wife's 8 year old non-brand 19" monitor passes away I will give her my 22" and buy myself a 29" monitor :tongue:

Watching your blog for quite a long time! Keep up good job - what was my surprise when I actually realised you are Czech (same as I am). What's the motivation to write blog in EN section? (just curious)

Again, good luck

PS: Added you :)
