- Now you are talking
Just a short blog tonight because I am watching the football and in a period of mental relaxation after getting whacked big style last week. But I have just had my best ever session with the 100K Challenge and won $431. This now makes my total bankroll at $1274!
This I think is an all time [...]

- Head above water
Well I have won exactly one hundred dollars in the $100K Challenge so my bankroll now stands at $1030! So getting $30 above where I started is not bad considering that I went down to about $300 or so.
But like I said in an earlier post, I have been changing a few things and I [...]

- Its tougher than I thought
Firstly, won $215 in the $100K challenge and bankroll now stands at $930! Not bad considering I was down to about $300 and looking very shakey indeed at one point. But I aint getting carried away because that is still less than my original starting figure two weeks ago.
But these low stakes online games are tougher [...]

- Damn Quads
The 100K challenge is proving to be like pulling teeth and just as painful. Well I aint the dentist but the one in the chair having em pulled. Twice in the space of 6 hands, I get the nut full house beaten by quads but not on the same table.
I get JJ on a 9-5-5 [...]

- It was almost Over
Well the $100k challenge was almost over as my bankroll dipped to under $300 on Saturday but I ended up being in front for the session by $14 so it could have been a lot worse. At least I am still in action but I am finding these low limit games a real struggle. My [...]

- On no…..whats happening
lost a further $196 today in my quest to make it to $100,000. The knives are sharpening already. Please dont let me bum out before the end of October, that would be so bad.
I have played OK, but I think that I need to make some adjustments and quick. With barely more than five buy-ins [...]

- Its a funny old game
Well either poker is funny or maybe I am…or both. I dont know if it is just the sheer repetition of playing too many ring games but I am craving variety in my poker life once again. This was the reason behind why I wanted to do the $100k challenge.
Ideally I would really like to [...]

- Off and Running
Well I am happy to report that I have managed to stick to my scheduled start date for the 100K challenge and played for just under 4 hours today. The end result was a profit of a mind bendingly grand total of $8….yes thats right…..$8.
Man was I unlucky, all in with aces twice pre-flop in [...]

- A Look into the Crystal Ball….Perhaps!
Oh dear…oh dear….oh dear, bad news on the 100K challenge front and we ain’t even started yet. I stuck a few hundred dollars in and decided to have a couple of practice runs at low limit to try and get some feel for the games.
I am convinced that straight forward solid poker will work in [...]

- The Stakes Have Been Raised
Yeah thats right, the original £1000 bet that I had with a friend on whether or not I could pull off the $100k challenge has just been raised. Not by him but by me accepting two further bets from two other mates.
One for £500 and another for £250. So the total bet is now £1750 [...]

- My $100,000 Poker Challenge!
In this video, Im talking about my latest challenge. To win a $100,000 in online poker starting from only $1000 in the space of 12 months. I will start off by playing $0.50 cent-$1 games and while being grossly under bankrolled, attempt to move up through the limits until I makes $100,000. Wish me Luck [...]

- Cash Game Results
I have had a few e-mails recently asking me about my cash game results as I have not been mentioning them much. Well I have been playing a lot more PLO lately in the 6 max games and been doing very well in the $2-$4 and $3-$6 games. It is surprising how much money you [...]

- A good Idea…perhaps!
A reader of www.pokersharkpool.com came up with a suggestion regarding my £1000 bet with the $10,000 challenge which I appear to be wimping out of at this stage…LOL.
He said that if I could not motivate myself to play in the freerolls and micro limits, why not up the scale and try to turn $10k into [...]

- The $10,000 Challenge
I have been thinking very hard over the past few weeks of taking on a challenge that I have been tempted to do for quite some time. This is turning nothing into $10,000 and seeing how long it would actually take me.
An online pro friend of mine has challenged me to a £1000 bet, he [...]
