Do you think 2 years is a reasonable time frame for this challenge

Well i see you have edited your first post I guess being it a blog, you can do this, so i had a read on it again I wonder why the thumbs down there, though. You went very fast down. Maybe, after your evaluation, you should consider lowering your limits a bit till you get a bigger bankroll again.

G'day mates
I have gone over the almost 20000 hands which I have played since the 13th and I believe that I have found the damned problem. I will begin playing the challenge again in the morning and hope for the best. My current bankroll is just $26.53 but I will rebuild it of that I am sure. Will update you tomorrow.

well without looking at the actual 20000 hands that you have played i still manage to find a problem that might be troubling you- i think the problem might be that you are losing money, other than that you are well on course to achieving something great. hope you can turn the tide and cash in on your efforts.

i am sure you will bounce back .. you did it before you can do it again as long as you play poker and stay away from spin n go and casino 26$ with some bankroll management can get you back close to 100 $ in little time if i had to guess your problem was playing too many tables i read you play at 10 tables , i mean i can't really focus with 2 tables wish you best of luck .. and don't forget to keep updating us

Don't leave us hanging - what was the problem?
G'day mates Ok I will go into more depth as to what I have discovered the problem in my game has been. I am only doing this in hopes that perhaps someone might learn from my mistake and avoid making it themselves. I will try to make this short. I while back I got it into my head that I was playing to tight and should loosen up my game. I seems I went from being a Tight Aggressive player to a very Loose Aggressive player. The TAG player type was really working well for me but I was watching how loose some of the pro players were playing and I wanted to become a more successful player too. How did I do this you might ask? Simple I opened up my starting hand range. In the past I was playing jacks or better to open along with any Ace king and Ace queen or Ace jack suited. Well about 16000 hands ago I made change in my opening range, I added all pocket pairs to my opening rand as well as any two cards which were suit with at least one Ace, also added any suited connector of 67 or greater. Yes this definitely opened up my starting had range and made me a looser player. (turned myself into an idiot fish actually). I also did not turn off the auto add-on feature when I was taking a shot at moving up level and so I did not always keep myself from losing more than my intended attempt. When then need to add in all the money I have lost playing spin&go's doing the Cristiano Ronaldo portion of the Dream Team Collection challenge on PStars. I have completed 6 of his puzzle piece and only won 4 times for $2 each time. I HATE spin & go's! plus 4 of my spin & go attempt were at the $3 level and not just the $1 spins so if we do that math as well we are looking at a loss of $42 to my bankroll which I normally would never have lost because I just do not normally play Spin & Go's. If anyone is interested I have completed the following pieces Dream Team Collection challenge, 6 Cristiano Ronaldo, 5 Ronaldo Nazarion, and all 9 of Neymar jr. Today I have gone back to my former style of play and I have dropped back down to NL2 until I rebuild my bankroll again. I started today with $26.53 and my new current bankroll is now $ 29.14.
will update again later
Ronin
------------ update time
G'day mates
I just finished my 2nd session of poker since making the change back to my former TAG playing style. I am plead to state it was another positive result. This by no means proves anything yet but at least the massive bleeding appears to have stopped and my bankroll is moving upward again. Time will tell if I truly made the correct change but I am hopeful. Started the session with $29.14 My new current bankroll is 33.38
Going to play the Chromestar+ VIP $5000 weekly freeroll and hope to run deep. Placing well in the money would be a nice help to the bankroll. wishing you all the best Ronin

I don't think that range is anywhere near too loose its like 15% or something ?!?! And your former "TAG range" is like 5% of all hands(!!!!!) ... Are you playing 6max or 9max cash?
I guess being it a blog, you can do this, so i had
33.38
