Preparation.... I've slept for the last 12 hours, had some toast and coffee... I have people around me to supply food and drink as requested, I'm not gonna drink any red bull or more coffee until the last few hours so I don't need to deal with the come down.... I'll drink lots of water, and go to the toilet every hour, whether I need it or not

Yes, well done Indide - hope you feel good now.
------------ ......My thoughts -
I seemed to have worse than average luck throughout this challenge. I don't know for sure, but I definitely noticed A LOT of me getting the chips in, dominating them, but getting sucked out on. I lasted 5 hours and 7 minutes before I couldn't register in the next tourney... If I was to try it again - and I do intend to - I would start with a slightly higher bankroll, maybe $5 to make it less vital to get a good cash early on.
In one of the very first tournies, I made final table, got pocket aces first hand, shoved and got called by pocket 10s. Flop J Q K - Turn 3 - River 9. I won about $0.60 for that 9th place. If it would have held, I would've had a good chance of finishing in the $2 + prize money stage, which I believe would've gave me more than enough bankroll to secure another decent win. As it was, I was constantly struggling after that to have enough for the next tourney. Resulting in an early fail.
I've been left very frustrated, but very determined to try this again and show that I can do it.

Paul - yblod won the $10 on my unsuccessful 1st attempt. I tried again, a lot more successfully a week after, and cofacosmin was the winner. I will be doing another challenge this saturday, but I won't be doing a "guess to win" as its costing me a fortune
I will however, host some kind of freeroll if my next challenge makes me any decent money. I will let you know when I decide what I'm doing.
Hope it goes really well
