Daniel Negreanu Bankroll Challenge Analysis
After my last post on Daniel Negreanu's Bankroll Challenge I decided to look into his results a little further. I've created my own spreadsheet using the results he posts on his forum. I'll try and keep it updated and the chart on the right (most charts in this post actually) will update whenever I update my spreadsheet. So you can bookmark this page and come back to it to see how he's doing.
Since the charts will be updating, for reference, this post was made after his 83rd session when he just started playing $0.25/$0.25 NLHE.
In my last post, I questioned whether his aggressive bankroll management might make it difficult to achieve his goal of reaching $100,000 which is why I wanted to take a closer look at his results to see if variance might be creeping up on him. Lots of charts and math if you like that sort of thing.

Daniel Negreanu Loses 28% of Roll in 1 Hand!

No he's not down gazillions of dollars but he did lose almost a third of his $10 to $100,000 bankroll challenge. According to his last blog entry on the subject he started out with $10 at $0.01/$0.02 NLHE, moved up to $0.02/$0.05 with $25.26, $0.05/$0.10 with $50.86 and finally $0.10/$0.25 when he got to $126.58. At some point...

$50 Cash Game Challenge Update 2
My latest results from my DoN SnG Challenge have left me a bit frustrated. I seem to be having a hard time staying above $500 so I decided to take a break and work on my ring game challenge.
It's been up and down but my last few sessions have been very good and I finally broke $100 to double my initial challenge bankroll....

DoN SnG Challenge Update 6
Things haven't been going as great as they were at first. My ROI has dropped. The current Double Or Nothing Sit-n-Go Challenge bankroll is at $514.60 which is a 243% gain from my initial challenge bankroll of $150.
My high was $527.20 but it's been up and down since then.

Two More Poker Cheats Busted
I'm not one to believe that online poker is rigged and that everyone is cheating, but cheating does occur from time to time. Mainly through the form of collusion.
Collusion is when one or two players work together to help one or both of them win. They will let each other know what their hole cards are and use that to their advantage as well as work together to build big...

WBCOOP 2010 Main Event Thanks MI_Turtle
Unfortunately I didn't get too far in the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker. I was playing very well. managed to get an above average stack then was knocked out shortly when I had a big pair but ran into aces.
I should have known better. When a player accumulates a big stack and sits out then all of a sudden they come back, flat call a big raise, they generally...
