Apart from the terrbile session earlier this week I just played one tiny session today that ended breakeven. Flying to Sweden on tuesday to visit friends and family, so I have no idea how much time I will have for the Bankroll Challenge in the next weeks. Hopefully I'll still be able to make some time :)

:spade: Week 40 summary :spade:

Hands: 559
Profit: -$22.19
Current BR: $520.81
Total cashouts: $100

Played really great yesterday, but had another devastating hit at the micros. Got it in in great shape quite a few times and got unlucky! I am not sure exactly how much since I find looking at it only discourages you anyways. I took a break and played my regular stakes later, where I ran much better :f_love:

Just $1 in the Challenge promotion last few days though. Just a couple of more chances for that $10k :happy:

I also came to an agreement with a student about a coaching for profit program. I'm really excited about that and I think it's something I might consider scaling. Since my main motivation for coaching is helping the players, the coaching for profit is a really decent alternative for players who feel they can't afford coaching, and as well for me because I tend to put a ton of effort into every coaching I do... so working with someone a bit more longterm sounds great! :f_love:

I switch it up between NL50 and NL100 atm. Not at stars though, mainly just got my challenge there. :)

Yep. Had to make a bet with 1.5 odds or worse, Ajax-Roda was exactly 1.5 :f_biggrin:

What was the value of the free sports bet?

Mixed in some NL16 this week, ended not too bad! But the traffic just is too low to just stick to NL16 so I'll mix it up.

This month at the micros (yeah, some decent volume for once! deserves a graph)

:spade: Week 41 summary :spade:

Hands: 3,817
Profit: $48,46
Current BR: $567.27
Total cashouts: $100

Next on my wish list from the challenge profits is a new headset and a new monitor, making the grind even more enjoyable :f_love:

2:2, Roda equalized in the 90th minute. Bad beat, vonki.

Not only NL16, you sat to the left of me (so I'm a fish :f_mad:) at NL10 FR. When I saw vonki and sweden you immediately got color mark.

Vonki, please stay away from this limit _biggrin:

Hahaha, sorry!!! :deadhappy: but I also got coaching requests from FR players so I think it's my duty to brush off my FR skills as well and make sure I also very well know how to crush FR too :f_thumbsup:

I play both, since I don't see the reason for playing exclusively one or the other. Poketheory is still poketheory and works on both FR and SH, as long as you are aware of the changes in ranges, dynamics and gameflow then there's def no harm in playing both. Being able to adjust quickly and understand the table you're at is what makes a good poker player anyway, so I don't see why not. :)

Has anyone completed any of the promotions at stars yet? If so, how many coins did you get? Curious to see the distribution :f_biggrin:
