Here is one very interesting hand from that tourney. It happened against same guy as AK hand. http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13757771_58D... What do you think about that shove? He left himself with 6 bb and I thought it could worth it.
However, too bad I didnt make even deeper run, especially in sko one. That was so close. If I won that all in I would have almost 40 blinds and very nice opportunity to get that final table. This way I'm up 39 ,68$ and even better first two tourneys in challenge-both cashed

Posted by bowie1984: Good luck and everything but what really is the challenge here? The sheer volume or the short term profitability? We all know you could do well on both.
Challenge is to make myself play every day for entire month. I have bad working habits and I think I have never played even one week in row. And also side challenge is to finally get to platinum star. Also I want to reactivate on forum and post every day.

Not bad for a start, since you have made a profit. On the other hand though i know that such wins for you is like pocket money so i am expecting soon to see a much bigger win than this All the best.

LOL! Soon as I star challenging myself be sure something will go wrong! My internet died for 2 days, guy from internet company fixed it an hour ago At April 1st I managed to play only 16,50$ BIG and did not cash in it. Will continue with my challenge tomorrow and till April 10 will play 3 tourneys a day to compensate for missing time.

Played 3 tourneys yesterday. 5,5 rebuy (invested 10,5$ forgot to make add on ) and busted 82nd (72 payed). Had these key hands http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13809715_B96... Next one I called because of pot odds, not sure but I think it must be fine. I know Im majority of times behind or fliping but my hand have around 40% equity against his top range (which was stronger then hand he acctually had. And with those pot odds I decided to call. If someone wants we could definitely go in depths of that hand. http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13809769_D7F... And I busted with this one, If that other guy folded I would probably fold myself, but it just seemed as good spot to try to take down that pot. Now when I look at it Its probably loose... http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13810119_581...

Following your challenge Jovica, good luck.
BTW, you of all people should know that when you get dealt AA by PokerStars, it means their "Random Number Generator" has selected you for a bad beat. Wake up.

love that you said you could fold to the money but thats not your thing,in most tourneys i feel the same jovicakralj but in most cases i end up losing a couple of hands and going busto....but i like to try exploit the bubble and get a few free blinds,hope the swing turns soon buddy,good luck and have fun...
