Day 26 - reached my first sub goal! BR 1008$! But with good comes bad - N8 have edited T&C and now only first 3 finishers will get the prize. Pretty shitty move to change terms, but all I can do is push harder and shot take even more aggressive. As for now, I'm leading the challenge.

Sur but that is a fkn disgrace! What a great way to lose the publics trust during their biggest promo! Like you say just grind harder win anyway then take winnings elsewhere! Sick progress so far!

Good news - after I sent a harsh email, they probably realized that this is not fair and "Given the amount of time and effort you have put in" I'm given a reserved winners slot - I will receive prize even if I don't finish top 3. This takes off A LOT of pressure.. It would be nightmare to be in close race at 6-8k BR mark and would affect me not only on tables, but also my real life quality.

Have only just checked in on this. Wow going good so far, nice one! How long is left to finish the challenge?

Well, it's one thing to 'reserve the right to change anything at any point yadda yadda yadda' that companies usually include in T&C in order to protect themselves from unforeseen exploits etc. but this was definitely a misstep on their part and I'm glad you 'harsh email' worked

A bit less than 11 months, but I hope I'll finish much sooner.

Yeah, I guess they realized that it was a big fuck up from them (the way T&C change was presented to those already in) and tone of emails I received changed 180°. Basically, now everyone who started before T&C change will receive prize even if they don't finish top 3, but race applies for all newcomers (aka - they have to beat those like me who are in challenge for quite a time already). By this I think N8 are locking winners already as they don't think newcomers have much chance now and there are 3 streamers around 1k mark who started first (and are entitled for locked prize anyway). Business is business, I'm glad I jumped in challenge quickly.

Day 27 - got it up to 1115 at one point, but started to run bad and play bad as well. Profit is profit though, BR 1038$.

1) Easy comes

2) Easy goes

3) Very annoying spot vs very good regular. I take this pre / flop line with like 90% of combos and I suppose BB knows this strategy. Anyone hero calls here?

Oh loads of time yet then. Looks like you are doing great. Best of luck!

@CrazyKeri Thanks!

Btw I posted that A8 hand in line check forum, lmk what you think.

I would expect the Ac8s hand above to be a check fold 100% of the time .... this is going to be AXss a lot for the backdoor nuts.

Day 28 - started with running shitty, fortunately got flush over flush from BB in limped pot with me having 8 high flush and rec having 6 high, all in on flop for full stacks. This kept me close to even, but eventually found heat and donations, BR 1174$.

1) Annoying, vs rec

2) Yes

3) Final rungood

1) JT / AT? Blocking QJ and other semibluffs ... I sometimes do overpot bluff but I think most of the time people do it they are somehow fairly nutty.

2) I hate clickbacks lol fu for doing them

3) Did you slowroll river? If not, you should work on adding this in as part of your gameplan to tilt the shit out of people... Be careful to balance it though. Throw some tank folds in there so people think you are slowrolling. A good balance IMO is 70:30.

Joshk81: 1) JT / AT? Blocking QJ and other semibluffs ... I sometimes do overpot bluff but I think most of the time people do it they are somehow fairly nutty.

1) Yeah, those are the only hands that made sense (some :D) in my mind, from a rec I never expect b/x/jam to be a bluff really.

2) My clicks are rare and powerful, yes, I fkn hate them as well

3) This one I uber snapped for 2 reasons: 1) He was a rec and I don't want him to alt+f4 but reload, 2) There was some glitch with timebanks when I got timed out even before I could click on timebank (it didn't appear). I slowroll these spots spots vs reg only, especially from East block (back at 888 - all those fkn bots). Slowrolls FTW, I remember once I rivered FH with my overpair, fist pump x/jammed, boy tanked all of his timebank and called with quads - it was hilarious, I just laughed and 0 tilt.

Day 29 - mixed feelings from this one. Started off by running bad at 50 and winning at 25, was down like 100 (but + EV wise), worked my way up in post-lunch session to close BE, and caught HEAT in final session, so many donations and I was up to 1330 or so, but lost a big (and funny one, gonna post it), some more run bad, started to feel frustrated and called it a day at 1238$ mark - profit is profit!

1) Spew against a good reg who just sunruns. I didn't expect him to flat QQ+, AK pre, I also block AK/AQ/AA and just 1 combo of KQs possible, I did expect him to 3bet, call 4bet some pairs like 88-JJ maybe and lots of AhXh and SC's like 78hh, 89hh. I guess I should just give up with this hand and jam my AhXh combos along with AK. Just that I thought he'd fold those 88-JJ combos and I'm actually ahead of flush draws that he might bluff on river if x/x.

2) Player to my right is mega whale, I Iso'd him up to 10x, he's calling 3bets/4bets almost ATC. What the hell UTG managed to fold after 3.5x 4betting my big 3bet???

3) HEAT

4) And the big one I lost

Villain is whale, I expected to see sets, 2p, low counterfeited diamonts way more often than Kd...

All right, I didn't update on Friday's results aka Day 30- everything started well, chipped up to 1335 or so, but then variance turned back on me, started to lose, but it was the final 50 min sesh that resulted in pic above - I don't think I won any hand above 10bb, lost AAvsKK, lost 3/3 flips, bricked everything and quit due to tilt (did not spew I think) at 1109$. It's just 2.5 BI's for day, but it felt worse from the high-point. I was planning to play Yesterday, but went out Friday night till like 8am and had nasty hangover

Feeling recovered atm, so back in cage tomorrow! I will play NL25 tomorrow (at least in morning sesh) just to get back into flow and feel like a winning player again. Not the most +EV approach, but it makes sense in my mind for the long run mental game.

Day 31 - just NL25, but ran badly in all ins (like 4 BI's below) and BR is 1056$. What can you do, I've been running good for most of the challenge so far, so little run bad won't destroy me. Tomorrow same game plan.

4 figure bankroll thoooooo! Only 1 figure away if you think of it like that

Yeah well, I've 10x'ed my initial roll, I need to 10x again and I'm done - simple!
