Hello people,
this blog might be something special which you haven’t seen yet. There are a lot
of blogs about bankroll challenges (BRC) around in this forum, and that is a good
thing, but my poker buddy and I decided that we would like to start something
more fresh and unique. We call it the
„duo bankroll challenge“. What does
that mean, you might ask?! We thought about blogging about our progress in this
6-max NLHE BRC individually but nonetheless within this single blog!
This way, you guys get double the excitement and my buddy and I can push each
other through some bad runs and see it as a little competition.
Before we give you the information about the bankroll management and some
other important information about our challenge, we like to introduce ourselves a
little bit.
My name is Fabian (Corny1313 on the poker tables), I’m a 21 years old IT
student from Austria and I’m in love with poker. I started playing poker like 4
years again but didn’t take the game really serious for around 2 years. But one
day i decided to take my game to the next level and study all the important
concepts behind this beautiful game. After studying for a while I was able to beat
NL2 and NL5 with a decent win rate over a good sample size. I am profitable on
NL10 aswell, and had some good runs on NL25, but to be honest with you guys,
thats the thing i want to find out and prove to myself with this challenge. I want
to see how far I can get with a solid ABC style combined with some advanced
elements.

My name is Marcus (marcuso92 on the poker tables), I’m 24 years old, educated
commercial pilot from Sweden who’s still looking for the first flying job. I played
poker for about 6 years, only lately trying to get somewhere and now taking it to
the next level. I’ll start using almost all my spare time for poker to be able to
improve and reach all the goals. And most importantly start to study and not only
play the game.
So let us quickly explain how the challenge is set up:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
* Starting Bankroll:............50$
* Starting Limit:.................NL2
* Bankroll Management:....reach 25BI for the next limit, go down
..........................................in limits once dropping below 20BI
* Rakeback:.......................counted as part of the bankroll
* Goal:...............................1000$
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Once we have reached this goal, the challenge is completed. But that doesn’t
mean we are done with the game just yet. This challenge is just the start of
something big, something life changing. Not sure about the „life changing“ part,
but at least this challenge will broaden our poker horizon and will open the door
for some serious cash!
We have planed on investing this money into poker coaching to crush the higher
limits once we reach them. (coaching for profit, for those who are interested)
Our plan is to post weekly reports of our progress as well as a bigger monthly
report at the end of each month!
—————————————————————————————————————————
To keep the challenge as entertaining as possible for you guys, we also
decided to have a little side bet running for each limit we are playing. It is
quite simple, the one of us who reaches the next limit first will have to hand
over 4BI of the currently played limit to the other guy. That means, when I
reach NL5 first for example my friend owns me 8$, which is counted to our
bankrolls.

So thats all for now, we hope you are as excited as we are and now its time to
get the grind going!
