Poker Challenge update....I'm past the $2500 mark!!!

That's right, with a little bit of weekend dedication and giving up my big games to focus on this challenge, I've passed the $2500 mark in the challenge.  To be more accurate, I'm up to $2763.  I've made most of my latest progress by grinding out sit-n-gos and tournaments.  With over $2500 in my bankroll this means I can take some big shots at making some significant scores to finish this thing up in the next couple of months.  Regardless, I've hit the donation mark.  Now I just need to double this so I can have an OK bankroll to start my next challenge.  Through all I've done playing poker this is still very exciting to turn $20 into something significant that I can use to help someone else.  In fact, I know I've said it before, but this challenge means more to me than playing in my big games with my own money.  I'm hoping to wrap this up in a big way in the coming months to get me ready to start something huge in the new year.  I'll update when I get past that $3000 or $4000 mark depending on how fast I'm moving in the next couple of weeks. Until then, Challenge yourself to challenge the need.

Big games up and down

No huge update this week but I've taken some big shots and missed by little bits here and there.  I made the final table of one of Bodog Poker Open series.  I finished 8th which means no big payday ($78) but I got a ticket to the Bodog Poker Open final event.  All I need to do is take this one down tomorrow and this challenge is over.  It'll be a huge weight off of my chest since I haven't had a lot of time at all to play at any point in this challenge.  I'm going to figure out the total hours played soon to give you an idea of how disappointed I am with the amount of time I've been able to put into this. Until then...Challenge yourself to challenge the need.
