Yes, bad news for our two players over there: Ms. Pink and Mr. Blue. Especially Ms. Pink had her first downswing this week: down from $171 to $132.
She had a bad run on ‘her’ territory: the 9 handed $5 sng’s. After that she decided to have a shot at the 180 handed sng on Pokerstars ($5). That didn’t go that bad, she was coming close to the money but was getting shortstacked. Pocket ladies are welcome at that point:
Not funny if you played two hours to end up like this… It also looks like the party at Mr. Blue’s house has come to an end: he’s down to $205. He tried some MTT’s again after his last cash out, without much success. Then he was close to a win in a sng with 18 players, when he had a deep stack and got aces:
So that guy could dodge bullets and Mr. Blue ended up as runner up in that tournament 
. Meanwhile Mr. White is happy he finally has some bankroll and can play the $10 sng’s, which he did pretty well, leading the challenge with $279. I also had a good run and was able to upgrade my bankroll from $173 to $218, playing a mixture of hu-games and 6 handed sng’s.

As you can see, the most remarkable thing happening since last time is the comeback of myself . I was able to do this by making one very nice cash-out in specific while the other contenders didn’t succeed in expanding their lead.
Mr. White still leads the challenge with about the same bankroll as last time: $141. However, I’m obliged to say he had to take a very bad beat in a sng with 18 players ($5). Look at this 
:
He threw the hand into the calculator and preflop he has a 84,42 % chance of winning the hand. The player with KK still has a 10,54 % chance, mainly because he has two different suits. Instead he catches the case king… I’m happy I wasn’t in Mr. White’s room when that happened 
. Ms. Pink took advantage of this bad luck by making some profit herself on the 9 handed tables again ($5): $123. Meanwhile it seems like Mr. Brown ran out of luck on the heads-up and shorthanded tables, falling back to $106.
I also took maximum advantage of the other ones stagnating, upgrading my bankroll from $72 to $103! Most important was the first place in a sng with 18 players ($5), resulting in a $36 cash out. Below is the most crucial hand I won on the final table:
That Queen of spades was very important for my bankroll . I hope I can continue this run during the next couple of days.

Despite of his great confidence last times, Mr. White had to hand over the lead in the challenge to Ms. Pink again. Besides some cash outs in 9 handed $5 tournaments, she finally succeeded to finish in the money in an 18 handed tournament ($5), ending up winning it ($36). This led to a bankroll of $127.
With all the respect for Ms. Pink, cashing in a tournament becomes a lot easier when you’re a lucky ***** . Look at the following hand, which prevented her from being eliminated in the sng with 18 players:
That so never happens to me. Another cash out in an 18 handed tourney wasn’t really a matter of luck, but was caused by some donkyhead who just goes all in with a shitty pair:
Ms. Pink stated that she perfectly disguised the hand as a ‘ button steal’. Yeah, could be. Meanwhile Mr. White wasn’t able to expand his bankroll, but downgraded it towards $112. This is mainly due to the fact that he didn’t win anything: some small cash outs didn’t make up for his losses.
My bankroll is also a little down compared to last time: $66. This is really unbelievable because I was up to $95 for a moment, but then I had a little steam on the hu-tables after I faced a really bad beat in a 6 handed tournament, ending up third. I called a preflop raise with T 7 and flopped 2 pair after which somebody with KK catched a third king on the river when I was all-in. It also looks like some monkeys gave Mr. Blue action when he finally got his bullets, because his bankroll is above $50 again ($51). Happy New Year!

Yes, it’s a pity for the challenge, but it’s almost decided already. Yours truly became a true dominator of the $2 sng’s, with 9 as well as 18 participants. Untouchable as he was yesterday, he even succeeded to cash in five subsequent tournaments: 2nd (9h), 3rd (18h), 1st (9h), 3rd (18h) and 1st (9h). These results contributed to a bankroll of $97 at the moment.
Far behind him, Ms. Pink looks like trying to stabilise her bankroll around $80. She cashed a few times in 9 handed tournaments but failed to be successfull in tourneys with 9+ participants: $82. Mr. Brown moved up to third place, mainly thanks to a first place in a 5$ sng (9h). This is obviously a terrific example of some excellent bankrollmanagement ^^. He was able to win this as a result of a ‘wonderful bluff’ he wanted me to show you:
Obviously, he should have raised a lot more on the flop with the draw and two overcards, but I promised not to criticise his play. In last place is our own rock: Mr. Blue. His bankroll dropped towards $47 because our ‘tournament player’ succeeded to become the bubble boy four times in 5 (9 handed) tournaments. Next time we’ll see if Mr. White has already crossed the $200-line. Merry Christmas!

Hello pokerpeople. The challenge is on now for three days and some of us are on the right way towards that $1000, playing No limit poker. Ms. Pink leads at the moment with a bankroll of $79. She mainly played 9 handed sit ‘n go tournaments with a $2 buy-in. Nevertheless she stated she could have made a lot more profit when she would have won more of her heads-up situations.
Second at the moment is Mr. White with $72. He played a mixture of 9 handed and multi-table (up to 45 partcipants) sit ‘n go’s with a $2 buy-in. He made a nice cash-out in a 27 handed tournament, where he ended up as runner-up: $12.42. Of course this achievement couldn’t go by without him reporting a ‘genius play’ on the final table. The player to his right was on sit-out for some reason which made him instant fold every time it was his turn. The player to his left noticed that and tried (and succeeded) to pick up his blinds by raising preflop each time. Mr. White stopped this pattern with the following play which he ofcourse wanted me to show you:
I can be short about myself: after cashing in some shorthanded sit ‘n go’s I tried to make a big step towards the $1000 by playing some big multi-table tournaments, but I never cashed. My bankroll amounts to $58 at the moment. Mr. Brown is in last position with $41, not being succesfull in shorthanded and heads-up tournaments. Nevertheless he reassures his fans the tide will turn because now he knows that online poker is rigged, he will adjust his play to it.
