Took out everything but $300.00. Going back to school and need some extra cash. Hopefully I'll be able to grow the roll this time instead of withdrawing every other week.

Really motivated to get a roll big enough to reg 25nl before I go back to school on Aug. 13th. I have exactly 1 month. I believe once I hit $450.00 I'm going to take a 3 BI shot and just repeat that until I can hit a heater LOL! I believe the best way to work your way up is very aggressive but managed BRM and shot taking! Thoughts on this?

Played a short 255 hand sesh of 10nl +2.5 BIs! 10NL graph so far:

Assuming I'm on a heater. Running 28bb/100 so far since the challenge. Don't believe this is a sustainable winrate but if so I'll be at 25nl in no time! Probably get another session in later tonight!

Bankroll: $377.64

Took a shot at 25nl with a 2BI stop loss. I won $8.28. Got QQ vs AKo AIPF and it didn't hold.. Small win but successful shot. Was playing a little scared so I will drop back to 10nl from now on until I hit 25 or so BIs for 25nl! Here are the biggest won and lost pots during my shot:

Just had my first bad session since the challenge started. Wasn't terrible, only lost 1.7 BIs but I made a few bad plays also. Was playing a little looser than normal also. Was stuck 2.5 BIs early in the session after some terrible beats. Worked my way back a bit. Here are some hands from the session:

Played a longgg MTT session today. Satted into the big $33 15k and the $11 15k and managed to cash in neither one. Did win a 1k guaranteed for $276 which got me a little over even on the day. After a few other cashes my bankroll sits at9 $456.19!! Still one tourney left for the night, the Evening $5r, 6/71 right now with $476 up top! Will post update after it's over!
