And Luka, no more FL bankroll challenge? 2nd week in a row with no report for you. I know it is not your style, so I'll leave the yellow card :-)
Maybe won too much in the Tourneys?

Hey Sven. Sorry about that. I'm not done with the bankroll challenge, will definitely continue, so I would prefer getting a yellow card, rather than a red one. But would understand anyway :)

Haven't played any poker, not just cash games for BR challenge. First internet problems (still not 100%), then I busted my knee and couldn't sit in front of the computer (still not nearly 100%, but at least I can play now. need another procedure tho) - so the only thing that I've did is two tournaments on my couch. 0/10 - wouldn't do it again. Then it was my 30th birthday (yaaay). And today some other unexpected news with the worst timing ever.

So... Yeah...
At least my mom made this amazing cake for my birthday. Of course it was poker themed.

Ah. As a top tier I always get lots of invites, but never accepted one.
Not sure how active you guys are in Romania, but we are a really active community. We get together every 16 weeks for HT cup finals and watch it together. In 2002 we also bought a trophy that we give to a winner. It's pretty beat up after all these years, but its still something that people aim for :f_grin: (I never got it tho :f_p: )

There's supposed to be a footballer at the top of the cup, but it broke of in like 2005-ish already, so he stays inside the trophy :f_biggrin: Back in those days we also had a big screen where we followed the actual match report, but we are not that geeky anymore. Just need a beer or two and we're fine :f_drink:
We also play football together every week and I actually made some good friends with the guys. I estimate that I've met over 200 people from Slovenian HT community in all these years.

Week 29 of Bankroll Challenge

Trying to avoid a red card in Get Rich or Die Tryin' promo, so here's a weekly update! :f_biggrin: Somehow its Week 29 already. Man, time flies. I've played only one short session on Sunday, just to avoid red card to be honest :f_tongue: But I'll be more active from now on, I promise! With Twitch sessions and livestreams and whatnot...

Week 29
Hands: 469
Week 28 BR: $307,00
Cash game Profit: $32,97
Week 29 BR: $339,97 (+10%)

Overall $ Graph

And just because $$ graph looks so ugly, here's BB one :f_biggrin:

Hmm... No, not really.
Unless if you are insinuating something here? :)

No I just thought you- apparently being a footy fan- might play some of these. I play PES online and I would have challenged you on a friendly match.

PES is like the worst game ever, even I have to admit FIFA is a better shitball game.

I have been a PES fan since 2010 and until 2014 it was better than Fifa . PES 2014 was really bad, 2015 was better, and 2016 is the best footy game I have ever played. Fifa isnt bad too, but the mechanical gameplay it has just isn't my style.

I'm actually bigger basketball than football fan. Supporting my local team for years now, basically since my father took me to a basketball game for the first time. And no, I don't have NBA 2015 if you were about to ask that :f_biggrin:

But I did actually play PES in the past. At the time when PES was genberally considered a better football game than FIFA. I think it was either PES 5,6 or 7. Can't recall the number. My favourite FIFA game is '95. Still have the original disc :f_wink:

Week 30 of Bankroll Challenge

It's Monday and I'm already doing an update!! Surprise, I know! I'm sure Sven is going to be thrilled :f_biggrin: Only played one session on Friday and that was about it. I'm actually grinding for VPPs at the moment. I was about 80k VPP away from the milestone so I decided that I'm going to grind that out, which basically means playing everyday for about 1000 VPPs. So far so good, in the last week I managed to average 1540 VPPs/day, so I'm well ahead of my pace... But I've also averaged +8 hours per day :f_tongue: Pretty sure that's my career record. I basically want to get as far ahead of the pace as possible, so that I have time to to the bankroll challenge too.

Week 30
Hands: 521
Week 29 BR: $339,97
Cash game Profit: $42,02
Week 30 BR: $381,99 (+12%)

I love FIFA. PES looks more arcade-ish and I prefer more the simulation type of soccer game. I played at least one match of FIFA from FIFA '94 to FIFA 2013. After that, I ended my career. I played for 19 years. More than many real soccer players play at a pro level.

Week 31 of Bankroll Challenge

Very exciting week, lots of things happened in bankroll challenge. Did 4 sessions this week, all during Twitch livestreams. My bankroll was also big enough to do a shot at $1/$2 once more! But of course, there's always a but somewhere and here it is... BUT... The $1/$2 session was one of the worst so far and we are back to our beloved 0,5/1 limit :f_p: Man, when I finish with this challenge I'm going to hate these micro limits :f_biggrin:

So here are the graphs for each of the day in Week 31.

Day 67 graph

Day 68 graph

Day 69 graph

last and also most definitely least Day 70 graph

Day 67 and 68 were just a standard days, nothing really special happened. But the end of Day 69 was kinda magical. In the last 300 hands I won 110BB and had a big enough of BR ($478,60) to do a $78,60 shot at $1/$2, where I lost the shot amount and then some :f_tongue: So we are back at $350,28 once again :f_grin:

I'm not going to post any other videos, so here's the last part of Day 69.

Week 31
Hands: 3799
Week 30 BR: $381,99
Cash game Profit: -$31,71
Week 31 BR: $350,28 (-8,3%)

Played the last (ever?) Quarterly $1.000.000 freeroll yesterday and managed to get kinda deep.

Dear LukaSteel,
You finished the tournament in 141st place. A USD 500.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Will definitely miss this tournament :f_cry: I managed to cash in almost every year at least once. I think last year was the best with $300+$400 or something like that, so it was nice little additional rakeback. No huge score tho, players are too good :f_tongue:

I planned to do a livestream today in the morning, but was playing this one till 3am, so I just didn't manage to wake up in time :f_p: Will continue tomorrow and probably do an update in the evening?

Week 32 of Bankroll Challenge

I know you guys like graphs and stuff, but this time there will be none :f_tongue:
Not much has happened in Week 32 tbh. Played only one and a half session and ended up in a small loss. You're probably asking why "half a session"? Guys who were at my livestream could see me playing and then I was gone the next second. I lost every possible connection at my home (internet/tv/phone). There are some work-sites around the apartment and I guess someone cut the line or something lol. And like I said above, didn't do a Sunday stream due to running good in Quarterly Freeroll day before :f_love:

I really really need to go to bed before 2am today, so I could wake up normally tomorrow. Let's see if I can make it. Odds are not in my favour :f_p:

Week 32
Hands: 1351
Week 31 BR: $350,28
Cash game Profit: -$16,45
Week 32 BR: $333,83 (-4,7%)
