Challenge Report
@Hypno
Yeah, I kinda feel bad for Bryan. He really got close with the prediction.
@kerwinty
I honestly I don't wanna have a clue. I simply think that the results on iPoker contradict that it might be time to change room and leave the RB. Because that worked for me when I switched to normal tables where I enjoy my time way, way more and in the end since the switch over I almost have a 10bb/100 WR on NL50 normal over just 50k hands.
So,
I guess it's time for report/review about my challenge.
First TX to all of you following because it gives the blog more sense and sort of forced me always to continue. It's always very good to see some positive words as well some critic along because in some sort of way both pushed me forward.
I think I should start with facts, right? :P

Thoughts
Well, I have sort of mixed feeling. I'm not in love with my results but I can't be disappointed either because of 1 month where all the winnings and the hard work got destroyed. Because November and December were awesome in terms of quality but January and the switch to the € brought something to me still unexplainable(although I do realize some of it). The switch to normal tables brought me on the right track and now it's on my own to work more and get better since I have now a BR that gives me a lot of options.
I definitely wasn't the sickest crusher out there and also not the one who showed who to reach 10k achieving the sickest WR. But for me personal it was a great experience and from all this ups and downs I learn a lot. I guess it could have been done earlier but I'm now more the ever aware of my strengths and weakness. But yeah, time for a new goal!
Future Plans
Basically the next step is 100k$.
Can't say if it's gonna be this year already but I will give my best and see where it gets me. Also the biggest difference is the fact that from now on until most likely the end of the year I will only live from winnings. The reason so it's because most of RB that I will get will come at the end of the year when I reached some annual/semi annual/quarterly VIP status that will give me a better RB %. So winnings only for a while I guess
I have short term/Step 1 goals:
1. Win 50 BI NL100
2. Learn to plan the hand
3. Think about adjustment every time I learn something new about my opponent
That's it. Not much to add but I guess I said enough already. GL!
