Sorry, no fixed schedule for now. At the end of the stream I usually tell when I'm going to stream next.
So tomorrow (Thursday) around 12:00 CET is my Day 6. Still need to do Day 5 update tho :)

Day 5 of Bankroll Challenge
Ugh... SO PAINFUL!
Played great and ran great for the first two hours and then BAM. Misplayed some hands, few badbeats here and there and all the profit went away :P As seen from the graph I was up $5 after ~550 hands and then somehow lost 70BB in the next ~150. If this would happen at my regular limits I would be fine with it, but doing BR challenge and streaming and not moving anywhere for the last three streams is a bit painful ... Even though it's completely standard.
Let's hope for an upswing tomorrow, just to get viewers "hyped" again ;)

Now that DocDanish asked about my streaming schedule, I kinda started thinking about actually doing one. At least for two streams or so in advance. I'd like to do three streams per week, but for now only Monday is kinda a fixed day for me. We'll see...
And like I said, next one will be tomorrow (Thursday) at 12:00 CET (6am ET). See ya there!

Start of Day 5 BR: $27,90
Profit: -$0,63
End of Day 5 BR: $27,27

Nice idea, but I think if you do this on a livestream as you reach 0.25/0.5 - 0.5/1 the chance that you'll get ghosted will converge very quickly towards 100%

Thx kavboj.
Every poker streamer is playing on delay and so am I. I'm using 2 minute delay and I think it's enough for now. We'll see how it goes when I reach the higher limits.

Day 6 of Bankroll Challenge
Why I needed few days to do a Day 5 update and less than a day for Day 6? Well the answer here is pretty obv... We actually did great this time, winning more than 50BB over 600-something hands! I kinda needed this boost, just to get viewers hyped again. Very close to moving up to 10c/20c. If you can't remember my BRM rules, I'm moving up when I hit $40. My next livestream will be on Sunday at 15:00 CET (9am ET).
And here's my usual material...

Start of Day 6 BR: $27,27
Profit: $5,25
End of Day 6 BR: $32,52

Day 7 of Bankroll Challenge
It's 2AM here already and I'm livestreaming tomorrow noon so quick update with Day 7. This session had a potential to be a good one, but at the end... It wasn't :P
When we were at our highest peak, I got a few good hands and basically lost them all due to "setups" and bad beats on the river. It was pretty brutal to play and I guess also brutal to watch? Instead of being about $5 in profit, we were at zero at that point. That's poker right?
Another stream tomorrow, starting at 12:00 CET (6am ET), so we... khm... I gotta do better! :)

Start of Day 7 BR: $32,52
Profit: -$1,20
End of Day 7 BR: $31,32

Week 2 of Bankroll Challenge

This week I've played three sessions only, but unfortunately this is the maximum that I can do and I'll probably stay at this pace in the future too. So three sessions means Day 5-7 and I've streamed all three days.

I've played 2326 hands, collected 39,67 VPPs and most importantly made $3,42 in profit. I know it's not a lot, but at least we are moving forward :) Was hoping that I would hit my $40 BR this week, but it didn't happen. I'll do another three session in Week 3 (Monday, Thursday, Sunday?) and this time, moving to a higher limit is a must! ;)

Week 2
Hands: 2326
Week 1 BR: $27,90
Week 2 BR: $31,32 (+12,3%)
Profit: $3,42

Day 8 of Bankroll Challenge
I completely forgot to do an update for Day 8 of BR Challenge. It was a pretty fun session, lots of viewers at the tables. At one point we probably created the toughest 5c/Tc ever... Which is not the best news for my challenge here really :) I need to do at least SOME table selection.
Without further ado, here are the numbers, graph and video.
Oh and here's my livestream plan for this week. First one already today!

  • Wednesday, February 18 - 17:00 CET (11am ET)
  • Saturday, February 21 - TBD
  • Monday, February 23 - 12:00 CET (6am ET)

Start of Day 8 BR: $31,32
Profit: $2,05
End of Day 8 BR: $33,37

Player pool is exactly what you are expecting it to be.
The only thing that surprised me is the amount of tight Eastern European players.

Day 9 of Bankroll Challenge
We did it guys! I mean... We didn't complete our challenge of $1000, but we did hit $40 for the first time! That meant that I actually moved to a 10c/20c limit during the livestream. I started a day with ~$33 so it wasn't really likely for me to win ~$7, but I got one HUGE maniac at the table with stats 95/95 or whatever and I ran quite good against him. Running good in this spot means that he capped his gutshot and I had a pair :P
So like I said, I moved up to 10c/20c, I was doing fine there too... Found another maniac at the table, who actually called me down with 87-high at one point, so everything seems perfect... Until hell broke loose Started to losing every hand, even lost a flopped flush vs flopped str8 flush... Doesn't matter, you'll see it on the graph :)

My next livestream will be on Saturday at 13:00 CET (7am ET).

Day 10 of Bankroll Challenge
This time I played on 10c/20c stakes right from the start of the session. It was just a regular session, nothing special happened. Well there was maybe one thing... The biggest news from Day 10 is that Avataren missed my livestream! Shocking, I know.
At the end I recorded a profit, so next week I'm starting over $40. My graph went down/up for the whole day so when I saw green number after three hours of play, I got a High five from Limit the cat himself. Weekly Get Rich or Die Tryin' report tomorrow as usual.

My next livestream will be tomorrow (Monday) at 12:00 CET (6am ET).

Week 3 of Bankroll Challenge

I'll make a super-quick update, because I'm starting with livestream soon.
This week I had three sessions again and I've played 2666 hands, which is a bit more than in a week before. We started with $31,32 and in Day 9 I finally broke my first milestone of $40, so I actually moved up to higher limit of 10c/20c.
When I was playing it kinda seemed that I was struggling a bit, even graph looks like I was doing better in the middle of the week, but all in all this was still 3.68BB/100, which is awesome for Fixed Limit. Oh and I also collected 68,57 VPPs. We'll be Silver VIP soon here in 10c/20c ;)

Week 3
Hands: 2666
Week 2 BR: $31,32
Week 3 BR: $41,49 (+32,5%)
Profit: $10,17
