Played a few more sessions towards the cash game challenge I have set on SunPoker. I am still down overall, but at least I’ve ground it back close to even. I will play some longer sessions soon to put a bigger dent in the hands played requirement.
Current Balance = $196.12. Total Challenge Profit = $3.88 down. Total hands played = 908
I booked a huge first session of 19 hands 
Total profit $1.54. Running Balance $201.54. Hands 19/20000
A bit of a problem with tracking the number of hands, as it isnt listed in the stats box. I will attempt to find an easy way to retreive that for long sessions, short of counting the hands from the hand history client
This was the very first hand of the challenge. Very eventful. Aces spiking a set, getting outdrawn on the turn, and then filling up on the river with a boat

I eventually decided on SunPoker for a few challenges as I liked the bonus on offer. I have set up an account with ID sunnyred. I am not sure why I choose that, it just popped into my head.
To start off I have made a $200 deposit. Not exactly setting the world on fire, but it will do for the purposes of my challenge
I’ll start off with a double-my-money challenge. I’ll buy-in for a sensible BRM amount of 1/20th of the roll, ie $10. My aim is to achieve the double-my-money challenge in 20,000 hands. God that sounds a daunting amount of grinding. I’ll post all updates in the ‘My Cash Games’ category of this blog
Wish me luck!
