Updates

Moved into new place, will put up some pics when everything is unpacked.

Have only played 2 games at the new place. This was the very first hand I played here (discounting a friendly game to test the connection at the 5 dollar level):

Guess he put me on ace high...

I lost my first game today to one of the bigger fish I've played at the 55s. I had just taken a beat in which he called 2 barrels with ace high no draws, and was down to 900 in the 50-100 blind. He limped, I raised to 600, and he called with T5o. Flop came KJT. I shoved for 300 he took some time and made the call. Turn 8, river 2.

I'm at 227 or so in this challenge, so +117. Pretty shitty considering the length of time I've put into this, but I also have not played really at all in the last 5-6 days. Hopefully this week I'll make a nice run and be in the 550s or something before reaching some sort of limit and downswing-challenge done type end to this. I won't run it broke like a real degen, I want to get some actual monetary reward for taking the time to do this challenge. More on that sometime when I'm actually making money with this challenge.

Bankroll $3,314.63

Edit:

After going 0-2 in the 55s I've won 3 in a row followed by my first win at the 110s.

So Degen BR is now 433ish. Will be playing another few after Sopranos hopefully.

Bankroll $3,419.63 (transferred 100 to the guy that inspired this challenge, he stopped over with 100 bucks cash for the transfer, driving a total of 90 minutes. He is a true degenerate).
