For the first time since the start of the challenge, all the four of us made profit in the period between two updates. However, the figures behind our names demonstrate how difficult it remains to build up a decent bankroll if you have to keep playing on lower stakes for a certain period.
You got to have a lot of patience and face a certain number of bad beats on these tables, where some people shove in their chips with any two cards. Of course, in the long (,loooooooooong) run, this is at your advantage, as Mr. White told me again this week. His bankroll increased towards $173, and he still leads the challenge. He even made a straight flush when he called an all-in from a short stack (click to enlarge):
My own bankroll rised towards $134. I stopped playing heads-up games for a while and played some multitable sng’s and MTT’s. It’s sometimes amazing to see how easy you can pick up a lot of chips on final tables because people play a lot tighter to get in the money. I also cashed in a $2 + rebuy MTT, finishing in eight place ($19,26, 189 participants). It’s really astonishing to watch chips flying in these tournaments, just because people can rebuy after going broke. Look at the following hand for example:
Well, there’s loose-aggressive play and there’s this 
. Ms. Pink keeps building up her bankroll incrementally: $129. No big cashes tillt his moment, but no significant downswings neither. Mr. Blue seems to be recovered once and for all from his bad start: $121 after some solid play on sng’s ($5) with 9 and 18 players. See you next time!

The positions did not change since last update, however, the numbers behind the names did. I hope Mr. Blue remembers the way towards the cash dispenser because it looks like he owes us $200 soon 
.
Let’s mention right away that Mr. White expanded his lead, so we don’t have to deal with that anymore. Of course, he did well in some shorthanded $5 sng’s, upgrading his bankroll towards $124, but there’s still a long way to go. I also had some success the last few days, mainly in 9 handed sng’s. It looks like I don’t have the patience for bigger sng’s or tournaments. However, I was able to cross the $100 border: $101.
It looks like the other two guys are struggling for not ending up last^^. Although it has to be said that Mr. Brown had a nice run at the heads-up tables and climbed up from $53 to $72. On the other hand, the situation of Mr. Blue is becoming desperate: he only has $32 left. His brief reaction was the following: “Pokerstars has rigged his computers to let me loose because I already withdrew a lot of money there.” He sent me the next hand as a ‘proof’ of his ‘thesis’:
That’s poker baby !
