Good day my friends,

Over the week I improved my roll a bit, but just a bit.

The Bankroll Challenge
Week 5
Tournaments: 200
Profit: 136€
Current roll: 842€
Previous roll: 706€
Starting roll: 0€

Wanted to reach 1k, but I guess I will leave it for this week :f_grin:

Plus I have a free ticket for 50€ Spin, which I will use when I improve my 3way play

Note for myself:
If You want to grind Sunday tournaments well, don't party on Saturdays :f_frown:

I'm still in the learning curve myself :f_wink: Probably it is You, who should provide some lessons :f_cool:

Btw, todays 1 hour of Spin&Go Video review was rewarded by 20x multiplier on 10€ Buy-in.

I still consider myself more a cash game player :f_smile: Lots of cash game tactics are good in tournaments, especially in early stages.

I got the message today from my poker room:

"Dear Mantas,
We have discovered a player who used bot-software. We confiscated his winnings and divided those between all players who lost him money.
Therefore we refunded to your account 25.12€.
Microgaming and Olybet will always give their best effort to keep the games fair."

Happy not about the money I got back, but about the fact, that room is fighting against illegal services.
