Hello everyone! My name is Alex and I am known in the online MTT scene as JustPray on Pokerstars. I have been playing poker for over 9 and a half years, all sort of formats, Sit-and-Go’s, MTT’s and Cash Games winning around 300.000$ overall. These are my Cash Games (PokerStars only) and MTT overall results:


I want to start a challenge, publicly, my FIRST one in my entire poker career: in a one years’ span, starting 1st October 2017 and ending on 30th September 2018 to win at least as much as I have during my entire poker career, which is 300.000$. I will be doing this by playing MTT’s(live and online) and Cash Games only. Spin&GO’s or any other jackpots do not count towards the total, but StarCoins and chest rewards DO count. I will also try to extend my activity on other sites as well, but for a period I will be playing solely on PokerStars.

I will try to post as often as I can here in this thread, as well as on Instagram @justpraypoker. I will also try to stream occasionally on Twitch @JustPrayPoker announcing when I will be LIVE in a timely manner. I invite all of you to follow me along this journey and hopefully make this the breaktrough year. Legoooo!!!

GL GL GL !!!!!

Will follow this, Gl

This will be a fun one, GL

Thanks guys! Finished my 1st day with +327,71$!
A little drowsy today since I am not taking any coffeine product (decided to take a break after bulking on it during WCOOP), but still managed to make some good folds https://www.boomplayer.com/25452057_61D8A64846
Ran pretty good, although no big cashes.

Will follow, GL! Easy fold

Thanks! When I am tilted that's an auto-call )) I do not really have the notion of "hero-fold", but I have to learn it if I am to succeed with this challenge.

Had 2 strange days, didn't feel like I played my best. I had a lot of deep runs, but no serious score. This one was my biggest so far: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ2FzD8lgkj/
I have a few hands I would like to share
https://www.boomplayer.com/25482129_5DD72B9960
I was so frustrated that I didn't KO any player, but then I get this the immediate next hand:

Folded queens PF against an unknown player as a chip leader. Finished 12th

Aaaaaand the hand of the day

Thanks everyone for tuning in. GL all until the next update!

I forgot to ask: does anybody use EUR as a main currency for his Stars account? I would like to know how are the conversion rates. Thanks!
PS: I am up +318.43$ overall for those who didn't click on the Instagram link.

Great looking giraffe over there!
Im definitely in for this!

Looking forward to following this. GL

GL will be following this

Had a couple losing days, one in cash games and one in MTTs and I am currently -990.45$ overall. Played pretty badly, I deserve it, although variance didn't lend any help. But hey!! Catched a few quads today!

Hey man,

I am currently during a "1 year challenge" myself that started May 2017 and finishes May 2018. Our stories and goals are quite different though.

I will follow this journey as i am curious to see what u ll gain through this and interested to see some HHs from the upper stakes too.

Girrafe looks nice btw! (but thats an understatement i guess ).

Best of luck!

Peace!

Thank you! Read most of your posts in your thread man, GL to you too!
PS: I will post in your thread as well

Hello everyone! Sitting in the fish tank at the moment, down to -2144.13$.

That's all for now folks! Pretty unimpressive days, but the best is yet to come. This week I will be going LIVE on Twitch @JustPrayPoker for my FIRST TIME EVER!!! Weeee!!! That should be fun. I will announce here when that will be exactly, probably Wednesday. I will NOT be speaking too many tactical stuff unless asked for or just to reinforce some decision for myself, probably a lot of jibberish and swearing. Good luck all!

Hey Bam, good luck with the challenge. I recommend trying out the paste image option, it will convert your links to image directly.

GL man!

Thank you guys!
@fast11375 Thanks, will do that as well!

GL in $22 prog KO!

edit: UL, sick final hand

Thanks man! You need to win los classicos to get to the final table. Wasn't meant to be today to win that, but I did manage a smaller score https://www.instagram.com/p/BaXdCYvF...=justpraypoker
Alsooooo....https://www.instagram.com/p/BaXjiV5F...=justpraypoker
depending on what the audience will be, I will decide what language I will speak. Pretty comfortable in english, but if only my fellow romanians will follow me, there is no need to "torture" them ))
It will be my first ever live Twitch session, so it's more like a test, to see if I got all the technical details right and everybody can see and hear me well. I invite everyone to watch and appreciate all the feedback! Thanks!
PS: I have no idea how to incorporate Instagram images here. Help needed and appreciated!

GL!
