I got 2 I think 
I did a poor job running the contest because I set it up then went away for 2 weeks. I'm hoping next time to have a bigger prize (hopefully I'll be at ssnl by then and can afford a bigger prize ) and to run a better contest.. but I really liked blane story and I've always been partial to the phrase micro ballin/ micro ballers

I run good . Ice if you can send it to me on Stars that'd be sweet but if it's a hassle my FTP name is the same as my stars one which is ofc BlaneH. So creative.
Anyway, no real updates.
BR-84
I'm freerolling on this entire roll. It's amazing what you can do with FPPs if you save em up. I'm silverstar and have a $50 stellar reward to unlock so I should be in grind mode.

No asking for permission, suggestions, etc. Here is it, the 15BB Challenge to the Micros.
Why: As we follow our BR nit journey through the limits, each new limit is a big shock. Here's a way to parlay a short rush up through limits and gain experience. Given the low initial buy-in (relative to your total BR), you are risking very little RoR wise.
HOW: you pick a starting level. You turn off auto rebuy, and you buy in for 15 big bets. You go bust, you go bust. You don't have to go all-in; you can quit whenever you want. When you hit 15BB (big bets) for the next limit, you quit and take your new "bankroll" to that limit. Rinse and repeat. If you're on FTP, you get a nice 8/16 level to help you up. On PS, you have a big jump from 5/T to 10/20. You can choose to play to your BB or quit immediately. Your chances of moving up are slightly better if you sit out right away, but if you're in a good game, you're sacrificing EV. No sissy moving down.
When can I quit? Whenever you want. It it probably a good idea to have an idea of "life changing money". For example, a .5/1 player who makes it to 15/30 would have ~$500 in front of him and potentially an amount larger than his whole BR on the table. The idea is to reset your threshold of fear and play at new limits. Quit then, or consider it an insane parlay. All up to you.
What limit do I start? It depends on you. I'd recommend starting at your highest normal limit or one limit higher, if you're comfortable with your BR. The idea is to chase a win up to see new heights. Play 6m, FR, or HUHU. As long as it is LHE, I don't care.
