It will contain all my results playing HU, my bank roll and where it is, what stakes I'm playing, screenshots of my HEM and any other info I think will be useful. My roll on each site will have RB and bonuses built in, some are updated daily, some weekly, some monthly, but i'll put my end roll's as exactly what they are (so if there's some small discprepencies, that's what theyll be).
I'm starting this challenge with a $10k roll, playing $200nl and $100nl. I will be playing/game selecting and moving up/down in stakes exactly as if the $10k roll was all I had, I'll be taking shots, as and when I feel my roll/recent performance warrants it. I'll be withdrawing from my roll as and when I would normally, but trying to keep in as much of it as poss for accelerated growth (I realise a lot of the time you don't have this luxury, although some of the time you do), but as I'll be playing a lot fewer hands and I'm doing this simply to make the point that it can be done it shouldn't affect the end result at all and won't have an affect on the winrate (atleast not a positive one, as I'll be moving up quicker).
From the 8th August onwards, I'll have a full time job, a GF, be running the stable, playing in my normal games and be doing up/moving into a new house, as well as this challenge, so will be v v busy but will try and put in 10k hands/month for this HU challenge, as if I was playing full time I think 30k hands would be a realistic/easy target to acheive.
STARTING ROLL:
Stars = $1,500
Party = $2,500
KO = $4,000 (EURO 2826.50)
PKR = $2,000
Neteller = $0
TOTAL = $10,000
I've put more on KO, as the sites plays in euro's and kept more on Party and less on Stars, because on Party you can open as many tables as you want (so need a bigger amount on the site) and on Stars you can only open one per limit.
Day 1 Results:
It started off pretty frustrating for the first 700 hands or so where I was basically doing a lot of folding and was down a BI or so, but then I started to hit a lot of hands at good times and just bet massive 3 times, everytime for the most standard lines ever and ran v hot overall for a nice first day.
Not many interesting hands (I forgot to tag them anyways), just a lot of this sort of stuff vs stations:

The only thin call down I made was this one:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?6161338
This was the 8th hand we played and he'd already 3bet once, he also had 2 comments saying he was a HnR. The key decision here is obviously the turn. A lot of the time I would just fold the turn here (or with specific reads, call turn and fold a lot of rivers - fwiw you don't HAVE to call all rivers if you call turn here, that's just a silly myth that doesnt apply to fish with leaks), but I think with the info I had at the time, it makes it less likely he has a v strong hand (it being his 2nd 3bet in 4 oportunities means he probs has a wide 3bet range) and I wouldn't expect him to be betting an 8 or 99-JJ on the turn with this sizing, but would expect him to fire this turn again as a bluff, his turn betsizing also seemed pretty weird and he bet pretty quick. I also almost certainly have 6 clean outs. I decided to flat and call almost all rivers (I would probably fold an ace or King river). The river made me hesitate for a second as it's the ultimate brick (apart from 35 thats discounted obv)and i timed down a while, to re-go thru my reasoning, but his turn/riv timings defs leant me towards a call, which was obviously my reasoned plan anyways and I only have to be right about 1 time in 3.5 to make the call profitable.
I'll tag some more interesting hands next week hopefully and post them here.
As some of the winnings were in euro's the final tally was actually +$1,158, I also got a little RB from KO and two $10 bonus clears from Stars, which added a bit.
NEW BANKROLL:
Stars = $1,858
Party = $2,501
KO = $4,322 (EURO 2826.50)
PKR = $2,514
Neteller = $0
TOTAL = $11,195
TOTAL HANDS PLAYED = 1,373
TOTAL PROFIT = $1,195
TOTAL WITHDRAWN = $0
I'll be updating this weekly or so with some HH and other strat dotted here and there and doing a proper summary at the end of each month.
