Quick Challenge update

My bankroll for the challenge is up to $1401.  I'm going to put in some extra time this week where I can to get this challenge jump started again.  Although I think I'll be hard pressed to make the 5K goal I'm pretty sure I can get to the 2500 donation mark.  I need more hours in the day.

1/4 of the way throgh the poker challenge

With my bankroll at $1262, I'm officially 1/4 of the way through the poker challenge. I'm starting to shake this run of bad cards and almost did so in a big way this week.  I had my top tournament cash of the challenge this week, a third place finish for $353.  If I won the hand that I got into (where I was favorite) I had a good chance to win this one for nearly $1K but that race didn't quite go my way.  Next time it will, I'm sure.  I'm updating my main graph on the challenge page and will update the chip-graph next week.  Until then...Challenge yourself to challenge the need.

Something old and something new

I've taken a bit of a break from the blog because I've been sick and on travel a bit.  Here's the new news with the challenge.  Progress= NONE....I'm just staying at the same level and can't quite get ahead the past couple of weeks.  That's getting old.

Now for something new, I've developed a new way to chart my progress on a week to week basis.  Below is my new chip graph.  I'll post this with my posts from time to time.  Every chip there is worth $200 (25 total chips).  The greens show my progress and the whites show how much further till I hit my goal.  Man this looks daunting given the timeline and the way I've been running lately but it can be done.

More updates to come. Until then Challenge yourself to challenge the need.
