Hello people,
This blog might be something special which you haven’t seen yet. There are a lot of blogs about
bankroll challenges (BRC) around in this forum, and that is a good thing, but my poker buddy and I
decided that we would like to start something more fresh and unique. We call it the „duo bankroll
challenge“. What does that mean, you might ask?! We thought about blogging about our progress
in this 6-max NLHE BRC individually but nonetheless within this single blog!
This way, you guys get double the excitement and my buddy and I can push each other through
some bad runs and see it as a little competition. ![]()
Before we give you the information about the bankroll management and some other important
information about our challenge, we like to introduce ourselves a little bit.
My name is Fabian (Corny1313 on the poker tables), I’m a 21 years old IT student from Austria and
I’m in love with poker. I started playing poker like 4 years again but didn’t take the game really
serious for around 2 years. But one day i decided to take my game to the next level and study all
the important concepts behind this beautiful game. After studying for a while I was able to beat NL2
and NL5 with a decent win rate over a good sample size. I am profitable on NL10 aswell, and had
some good runs on NL25, but to be honest with you guys, thats the thing i want to find out and
prove to myself with this challenge. I want to see how far I can get with a solid ABC style combined
with some advanced elements.

My name is Marcus (marcuso92 on the poker tables), I’m 24 years old, educated commercial pilot
from Sweden who’s still looking for the first flying job. I played poker for about 6 years, only lately
trying to get somewhere and now taking it to the next level. I’ll start using almost all my spare time
for poker to be able to improve and reach all the goals. And most importantly start to study and not
only play the game.
So let us quickly explain how the challenge is set up:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
* Starting Bankroll: 50$
* Starting Limit: NL2
* Bankroll Management: reach 25BI for the next limit, go down in limits once dropping below 20BI.
* Rakeback: counted as part of the bankroll
* Goal: 1000$
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Once we have reached this goal, the challenge is completed. But that doesn’t mean we are done
with the game just yet. This challenge is just the start of something big, something life changing.
Not sure about the „life changing“ part, but at least this challenge will broaden our poker horizon
and will open the door for some serious cash! ![]()
We have planed on investing this money into poker coaching to crush the higher limits once we
reach them. (coaching for profit, for those who are interested)
Our plan is to post weekly reports of our progress as well as a bigger monthly report at the end of
each month!

To keep the challenge as entertaining as possible for you guys, we also decided to
have a little || side bet running for each limit we are playing. It is quite simple, the
one of us who reaches the next limit first will have to hand over 4BI of the
currently played limit to the other guy. That means, when I reach NL5 first for
example my friend owns me 8$, which is counted to our bankrolls.

So thats all for now, we hope you are as excited as we are and now its time to get the grind
going! ![]()
