James “HullJimi” Greenwood takes a knock in his PartyPoker Bankroll Challenge quest – to turn $25 into a fortune.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, last time I wrote I was up to around $70 after starting the Bankroll Challenge with $25. Well, now I’m not! Instead, I’m back at $40 due to a combination of bad play, bad beats and a change in style.<\/p>\n

I spend a lot of time reading and (trying) to learn about poker<\/a>, and I was reading about cash game styles and thought that a change of tactics from my previous ABC to a more LAG style would mean a quicker rise through this challenge.<\/p>\n

Um, it didn’t, but it very nearly did me in.<\/p>\n

Saying that, I have seen some awful poker being played. I had a hand beaten by 62 offsuit! He actually called a raise with 62 off! I want these players in the game as it’s “free” money in the long run, but it’s just that at the moment I am not fully rolled for the level I’m at, so dropping a “buy-in” (I’m still buying in short) really, really hurts.<\/p>\n

I had one awful session where I did $10 very quickly, getting my chips in to the middle when I was in front but getting sucked out on. I should have turned the laptop off. I didn’t and I lost more. T.i.l.t.<\/p>\n

So, I’ve slapped myself down, I’ve remembered “ABC” and I’m going to hit the tables hard.<\/p>\n

Add me to your buddy list and come sit at my table – say hello, then give me all your money. You know you want to!<\/p>\n

Starting roll: $25<\/p>\n
