I've never seen a player taking more than 2 tables on this limit :f_smile: Plenty of recreationals, so 12% ROI is probably Good but not Fantastic.

As PokerStars is celebrating 10 years anniversary, it has offered some challenges for a various rewards. Because I'm keen to increase my bankroll in any possible way, I've decided to spend couple of minutes for a "Cash challenge - win 3 hands with a fullhouse". Cards gone by, but Fullhouses didn't come easily _rolleyes: It took 2 and a half hours before the 3rd came:

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $15.70 (157 bb)
BB: $3.37 (33.7 bb)
UTG: $14.73 (147.3 bb)
MP: $12.68 (126.8 bb)
Hero (CO): $8.86 (88.6 bb)
BTN: $4.92 (49.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A J
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.25, BTN calls $0.25, SB calls $0.20, BB folds

Flop: ($0.85) 3 J 3 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.40, BTN folds, SB calls $0.40

Turn: ($1.65) 6 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.65) J (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.80, SB calls $0.80

Results:

Spoiler

$3.25 pot ($0.15 rake)
Final Board: 3 J 3 6 J
SB mucked 4 4 and lost (-$1.45 net)
Hero showed A J and won $3.10 ($1.65 net)

Was it worth it? I guess so..

This was one of the best Mental videos I've ever seen. No wonder he is on the Top of the coach list!

I'm glad that it helped you. Remember to watch it again in few months to see your progress in that time. :f_thumbsup:
Talking about podcasts one of the best in my opinion is called "Midstakes Living", use google to find it.

Your support brought me luck in one of the Tournaments I've played today :f_thumbsup:

This allows me to conclude $1 Spins and jump into $3 Lottery :f_ugly: My Spin & Go stats of this year:

And finally I can spend more than $1 on the tournament!

Unfortunately I didn't know about the Level Freerolls for the last Saturday of the month. However, I was only Silver at PokerStars so couldn't play 100k anyway. Next month I will be there for sure :f_thumbsup:
