Thanks @Tikay10 and @thedazzman .... would have been even better but I just bubbled the Sunday Major freeroll after losing AQ < J4 blind vs blind where I had opponent outchipped.
FFs bubbled this freeroll twice in two months now, last time AJ < A4 and now this, who would have known that a freeroll could be THIS tilting.
Any tips on what I can sacrifice to the poker gods for some rungood?
@MAXALLY Equities of the two hands are not really comparable - I mean one is a 54% vs 46% hand with a lot of players left (~100?) and the other is a 64% vs 36% hand on the stone cold bubble....
Would not class me winning that earlier pot as running that well but I may be wrong lmao

You could sacrifice one of the Sky is rigged brigade. If that doesn't appease the Poker Gods it should at least get you "Favoured Player" status.
Haven't been updating the blog a lot over the last week and a half or so, lost a bit of momentum with it, missed the Saturday and Sunday freerolls last week due to social commitments and a hangover. Overall, the month went well, with some good cashes in freerolls and the FTT tournaments on Mondays.
Notable cashes:
01/06/2020 - 2nd in FTT £2 (£28.26) 15/06/2020 - 2nd in FTT £1 (£18.14) 18/06/2020 - 4th in Escalating Freeroll (£80) £5 up on football betting, lost £10 on Liverpool vs Everton but won £15 on Spurs - West Ham
£0.28 Graph for the banter:
June Graph:
June profit: £174.7
In May and June I managed to double the roll both each month, it's good to see some momentum being gathered, I am somewhat optimistic about potentially hitting £1k by the end of the year.
The month could have been a bit better, too, but I can't complain.
We will see what July will bring, in terms of promotion, and that will dictate what games I'll focus on in the month.
Nothing too notable has happened so far this month, until this cash:
Quite the wild ride, came in to the FT with a decent stack and then lost one player and it wrnt a bit back and forth from there, I ran quite well today, AJ > AKo twice vs the same player, then won with KQ vs AT and the final hand, got lucky that 33 > TT with a backdoor straight for the last player to bust.
I will see if I will play the tournament this week, might ask to be unregistered and registered into another week's tournament, was planning on visiting family over the weekend.
During July my main focus was on the Eliminator freerolls as the promotion seemed good for the challenge. I really struggled with the format though, and as such did not place in the leaderboard a single time, despite playing most of the freerolls - I believe I missed 5 in total, over the whole month.
Still, I had some nice results in them, here are the highlights for the month:
£40 in £1,000 rewards freeroll £40 in Eliminator freeroll £30 in Eliminator freeroll £40 in Eliminator freeroll
Graph for July
Profit for July: £192.71
Graph since June
Bankroll: £529.48 + Sunday Major entry for today, from one of the freerolls
Goals for August:
I will try to take part in the Premiership promotion, will take week 1 to gauge what kind of chances I have of cashing in it and take it from there.
So obviously I have not been that good at keeping the updates going and motivation for the challenge overall was hot and cold at times.
I was hoping to hit £1000 at least by the end of 2020 but that did not happen due to low volume and getting unlucky in some promotions.
In December, under normal circumstances I would have played a lot every night for the promotion but have recently met a special someone so priorities have had to be changed now that I am no longer single. Still, I should have hit at least a grand before that so the challenge itself was a bit of a fail.
Here is the final graph for the challenge, starting from June until 31/12/2020:
Final 2020 bankroll: £741.59
Reflecting on the challenge, the biggest profit came from promotional freerolls where I had a few £50+ scores. Had I ran a little bit better in the tournament that I love to hate, the Sunday Major freeroll, I most likely would've hit my goal for the year. Bubbled the tournament 4 times in 2020 I think, and in one of the entries I had for the major itself lost a flip just short of the money so that would've been a good mincash for the challenge.
Ended up quite short in the end but now that I have this bankroll built up, hopefully in this year I'll be able to keep adding to it. Games that I will focus on will be DYMs and MTTs as usual
Thank you for everyone that ended up following and wishing me luck along the way, I will most likely make another challenge blog for 2021 and hopefully keep that updated more often during the year

Poker huh! .

Freerolls don't have to be tilting though;
This was last night's Escalating Freeroll;
fastfood 1320000 1 £306.25
hj11 0 2 £171.88
LARSON7 0 3 £105
gr0wapear 0 4 £80
Well done bud, £80 will do nicely.
A brief Hand analysis discussion on a hand with 4 left in this freeroll here.
Yes, quite happy with the cash, it has taken me comfortably over the £300 mark so that is good, more of the same till the end of the month, hopefully
I had a bunch of smaller cashes this week, 3 £10+ cashes as well, so it took me under a week to go from a £200+ bankroll to a £300+ one
Bankroll: £315.38
