I have another challenge going on right now, the #hm3challenge but that's another story.
This one is about me donating part of my poker binks to charity which I broadcast live on Twitch.

My viewers decide to which cause/charity I will donate my wins by casting votes at every session.
At the end of the month, the cause with the most votes will receive the money.
I will be sharing the donation slip as well.

But the problem is, to make the donation I need to win!
To win I need to play and play hard -also get lucky and win those $#½%!! flips.
To get lucky I need to study more and more -luck is when opportunity meets preparation!

This challenge started 2 days ago and will end on the 27th of January 2021.
So far we have ~$30 in tournament cashes.

Goals:
[ ] Donate $100 (or more) to charity based on live binks on Twitch
[ ] Study 30 hours
[ ] Stream 10 days
[ ] Reach 500 followers on Twitch
[ ] Final table a PokerStars tournament with > 1000 players live
[ ] Do not pick your nose when broadcasting live

I am hoping to post interesting spots and fun clips throughout my journey here.
I also explain my thought process during the streams and answer any and all questions you may have.
It would be great if you came and followed the channel to support it.


Everyone gets 2 votes that are cast at 2 different timepoints during each stream.
We will have live streams everyday till New Year and then on every weekend.

Let's do this!

OH! We are live right now at https://www.twitch.tv/pokerock

Yesterday's stream started good, I was in the zone, nailing it, then I had pocket Aces when a villain went all-in preflop.
It was almost my turn and...
My $%£#>£>! internet connection dropped!
Reconnected after 10 minutes but the magic was gone, had to end the stream early.
Still our cashes from tournaments went over $40.

We couldn't do a voting session yesterday so please come today and cast your vote.
The current tally for where to donate our winnings is for charities around:
Children:16
Animals:5
Homeless:4
LGBTQ+:2

Today we are playing at the Blowout Series for over $200,000!

How about Homeless LGBTQ+ Children (uh youths)?

Good luck!

Just let me know what your PayPal account is and I'll send it your way

Thanks for coming to the stream.
Now we are 5 hours into the stream and running deep in top 5 in both the Daily Marathon and The Superstack!

The Blowout Tournament is going to start in 10 minutes too.

Let's goo!

Ran deep in two tournaments today! Got the donation pool to over $60...

And here is a taste of what you have been missing:

We had enough mishaps yesterday to last at least a week but still managed to cash in over $60 so far.
Capitalizing on opponents' mistakes and not pushing things is today's motto.
Also "stop paying the fish" is something I'll get tattooed if I ever get one.

Today we are playing at:
The Daily Marathon
Big $4.40
Blowout Series 11-L $80K Freezout NLHE
And then some more at Party Poker...

Live now at: https://www.twitch.tv/pokerock

You get two votes per session, so please cast your vote to decide where we should donate our wins at the end of the month.
Also thanks to all from 2+2 who came and followed the channel, appreciate the support!

Let's do this!

I can't believe it but we did it! What a great way to end the year
Ran deep in two tournaments again yesterday and finally final tabled one of the Bigs!

We came in 4th at the Big $4.40 with over 2000 players and could probably win it if our AQ was not cracked by 55 (I believe that call from the 55 was an ICM disaster for him, but anyways...).

Here is what happens when you unleash King Kong on a final table:



And the proof of concept screenshot:


Happy new year everyone, come support the channel and we will be back with more in the new year!

How are you doing folks? We haven't streamed for a year now!
(I'm a dad and entitled to dad jokes, aight?)

In the last stream of 2020 we came in 4th at the Big $440.
Let's see if we can do more in the first stream of 2021...

We are fighting for over $450,000 in prize money today including some Blowout Series Tournaments which we got tickets for!

A big thank you to everyone who came and vote so far during the streams.

Current tally that shows to which cause we should donate our winnings is:
Children's 26
Animal Shelters 16
Homeless People 8
LGBTQ+ 3

In my 20+ years as a poker player, these are the tournaments I am having most fun at and being proud of playing.
The stream is live now, we are waiting for you!

Let's goooooooo!

Yesterday's stream wasn't great but our cashes went over to $400, w00t!

Also an important reminder to all from the last stream was:
"DO NOT SLOWPLAY YOUR FLOPPED SETS IN FREEZOUT TOURNAMENTS, ESPECIALLY IF THE EFFECTIVE STACK SIZE IS NOT DEEP ENOUGH"

Hope I made that clear, thank you

Good job!

Haha I checked back a set the other day and everyone made fun of me, so I get it, I get it.

Oh a set in PLO is equal to a high card in NLHE isn't it

Seriously though, if I had one chance to ban a situation in NLHE, it would be set over set situations

Oh yeah! We have reached our follower goal of 500!
Thanks for coming and please keep coming, we are having fun and talking poker at the same time

Current tally that shows to which cause we should donate our winnings is:
Children's 37
Animal Shelters 18
LGBTQ+ 5
Homeless People 12
Total Votes 72

We are live now fighting for $200k in prize money, don't miss the fun!

PS: Donald Trump is temporarily banned in this channel.

What did we learn from yesterday's stream where we were in the last 16 out of 1000?
Top pair top kicker (TPTK) on the flop is not enough to jam with 30bb even if your opponent feigns weakness...
It might be good enough at the start of the tournament but not when opponents become trickier WITH CONCEALED SETS!

Today we will keep on exploiting the fish in the early stages, surf through the middle stages, and bash the final tables.
We also have collected 80 votes so far, let's see if we can reach 100 today.

Also if you are missing it, don't, play at the Blowout Series at PokerStars, they are really soft especially in early stages.

Allright last 3 streams before voting closes!
Could not go live yesterday but we did 1 final table and missed another in the last 20.
Today I have a good feeling about what's going to happen.
Our strategy is to milk the fish during the early levels and bait the sharks in the mid, then own the game at the final.

Let's goooo!

The final stream before voting closes and this challenge ends!
We have almost $500 in online cashes -but not so much in the profit pool
Started to play at GGPoker too.
So far we have had 92 votes and counting.
