I'm in for the challenge!!! Here's a link to my journey/challenge thread. GL everyone

I wish I had more time to spend on something like this. The idea of grinding 100k hands in a month at NL10 tables gets my nostalgia juices flowing. How's everyone doing?

Done 4.6k hands so far, did aim for 5k by the end of the month so a little behind, but wanted to start getting the volume in properly when the new month started for the purpose of the rake race.

Down 4bi so far. Had crawled half of it back in the last session (1k hands), but got coolered twice right after each other. Still rescueable though.

Anyone else get annoyed at being constantly 3-bet??!! I've started opening a little smaller so the 3-bets I'm calling aren't always as big. May start 4-betting more though. Just seems to be every hand! I ain't used to cash lol

Graph and more in my thread HERE

Anyone get a trojan from the .exe or update the client? I have to put the exception but I don't know why I get that trojan from party poker

Nothing for me

I WAS booking a profitable session tonight, before a disastrous final few hands dropping 2 buy-ins right at the end, grrr hate this game sometimes!!

Couple of hands HERE

4K hands in, currently down around 4/4.5Bi's. Last weekend I tried four tabling which it runs out in not very good at so today I dropped to my regular two tables and booked a decent winning session.

Highlight of the session:

56s vs TJo on a 789s flop. Your straight is no good sir, I have both a straight and a flush.

Low point of the session:
Playing online at all, it was my monthly home game tonight so ideally I shouldn't have been playing online at all, I busted third in our tourney though so had some time to kill.

Another 1k hands, nearly another 2BI's down. I just don't understand cash players at all, open to 2.5bb, and they jam for 120bb with A7os??

Getting 3-bet every single hand except when you have aces or kings

He has Aces here!!! Ridiculous

Dude i know the feeling...Wednesday in 5k hand i had KK vs AA 4 time! I got beat set over set 3 time also....I dont know how to feel honestly, I have play 20k hand and im down 14BI....it kind of rought.

Thi is very weird.... this shitty promo was too good to be true! I'm done with it!

I've done 40k hands since the promo and loosing as well. It really has been the strangest game play I have ever seen. Has seemed like every hand is a setup, cooler, or run bad. Has been pretty nuts. However I could have lost less with less mistakes and that's what I have been focusing on. Been a whole new learning experience. I wonder how some of the bosses have been finding it?

I haven't been able to put in anywhere near the volume I would have liked. I'm still losing but not by a massive amount. I think I'm in the region of 6k hands in and I'm down around 4.5 buy ins. My initial losses from my first session 4 tabling was in the region of 6-7 buy ins, I'm not able to profitably four table those games I don't think. I was making some awful mistakes so I'm down to just two tables for the remainder.

It would be really sad if this turn into a run bad forum for the members. I have played almost 3mil hands lifetime over 5 sites and this is the only time I felt something questionable was going on. Today I was fortunate to have a almost 3 hour review of my 60k hands of FastForward by a VERY well know coach, streamer, and all round crusher, and he said he was speechless never seen anything like this in over 10 years of play. I didnt ask him if I can use his name so I wont. He didnt say its rigged, I better make that clear

but he did say it was "super fucked up". It wasnt just me though, he has many students who play on party who are having the same issue.

As I said I've had a super small sample but my losses I feel have come from bad play and bad okay only, I haven't noticed anything suspicious or anything at all. In fact I'm probably ahead of EV, I had one pretty gross hand where I flopped a straight vs a better straight and a set, got it all in three way and runner runneres a flush. So maybe I've just been given the boom switch by mistake

Sweet man always nice to get some run good. The post does sound very negative, I'm not trying to imply the site is rigged I am just a bit baffled at the moment. Looking forward to hearing of someone crushing the challenge. Will be looking out for your posts.

Cool, watch this space for the epic comeback!

I'm likely going to be streaming a live session of the games on my Twitch channel on Wednesday evening also

My official thread has been started here - https://www.pokervip.com/forum/the-battle-ground/party-poker-bankroll-challenge

Ending my first session early (planned 2x 1000 hand sessions).

Finally booking a winning session for the first time this month, then drop it all in 2 hands. KK beat by AK AIPF and then 2BI's in one hand with AA against 99 AIPF. He flopped quad 9s!!!

I only buy in for 50BB at a time, so being sat with 200BB I should have stood up and reloaded back to 50. My fault.

@killjoy1987 Ouch!

Out of interest, why were you only buying in for 50bb's?

Don't know lol, between 50-60BB depending on how "even" it makes my overall balance.

I think that I'm minimizing losses, had I been buying in for full I'd be much more down than I am. I could say that because I'm a tournament player I'm more used to playing shallower but it isn't working atm haha.

This just hurts

Its been running weird man, I've lost almost all my all ins with KK and AA v AK, AQ, and pocket pairs. Yesterday lost 4 AA in 3b pots v Turned or Rivered sets after being called down by under pairs to the board. Its got to turn around at some point, right now just stock piling reserves of run good
