Hey guys,

Well its me again

For those who do not know me, once again a quickly explanation who I am:
My name is Benny, I am 21 years young and currently living in Stuttgart.
I am studying economics currently in the 5th semester.

I first got in touch with Poker basically due to my former business which was tennis betting having had a couple of sharing deals with poker players.
I started to deposit 10$ during the off-season with no real aim behind it, just having fun.
The problem was the fun this made to me was so high I had to deposit again and this time much bigger afterwards
During 2015 and 2016 I lost around 4.5-5k$ playing poker but basically really not paying attention on the money as my focus was betting and it was more fun to me. I tried all formats: Sit&Goes, Mtts, Cashgame immediately playing on big limits loosing my money.

I had to stop betting a couple of weeks ago as I have more "real life aims" like working hard on my body, eating healthy and in general being more flexible which is simply not accord able with the lifestyle you have to live as a full time bettor.

Most guys will ask me why I am opening a poker blog after loosing so much money.
I simply really like and have fun playing the game (even if I lost money) and now after quitting betting I am searching for a new project and Poker is the perfect area for me.


Basically had two times the same plan to grind up a small amount and stopped blogging after a couple of days, however this is the last time I will challenge myself to do it, so kindly give me a last chance of doing it.

My idea is turning my last deposit I every did today into 1 000 000$ winnings+rake back.
I set myself a deposit limit of 0$ on Pokerstars, so if my Pokerstars balance should be zero any time I will have to stop playing poker.
If I should lose the deposit I will stop playing poker.

I expect this challenge to take around 5 years.
I will split the overall challenge in different part challenges.
Once I achieved a part challenge I will announce a new one.

1. Challenge
First challenge will be the following:
Play 30k hands single table Poker Nl2 Zoom on Pokerstars until 01.03.2017 and update this blog at least every week.


One last thing: Most of you guys probably think I am just a joke but I will prove to all of you that I am able of doing it and that poker is not dead.

Starting the grind now, pokerstars name is benzema1995.

Current bankroll: 10,46$
Profit overall: 0$
Current level: Nl2 6max
Current challenge: 30k hands until 01.03.2017
Current amount of hands: 0

Well, first session done.
Played pretty solid, got one really nice spot with set vs set however opponent only had like 40BBs behind.

Just one pretty funny hand of some guy sitting at four tables speculating to get the split with the call

    Also flopped quads but did not get the call on the river (probably he did not have the AA or KK otherwise I expect him to call there)
