I&#8217;ve decided to mix four tables of NL5 with 2 tables of NL10 to try to speed things a bit. Actually things went ok on the NL10 tables but not so good at NL5. I&#8217;ve lost a bit at the end of the day, so here is the final screenshot of my bankroll:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/br_final.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-135\" alt=\"br_final\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/br_final.png\" width=\"223\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It feels ok to look at this number, but when you look at the stats, it gets really lousy:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/stats3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-136\" alt=\"stats3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/stats3-168x300.png\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/stats3-168x300.png 168w, https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/stats3.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes I&#8217;ve played a lot, but let&#8217;s not forget that we have a huge 6.5% rake here in France. I&#8217;ve actually raked more than 325\u20ac during the challenge. If we do the math I&#8217;ve cashed approximately one twelfth of my total earnings&#8230;but hey it&#8217;s good to make people work at Winamax, and some other for the <a title=\"ARJEL\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arjel.fr\/\">ARJEL<\/a>, isn&#8217;t it? Actually can someone build some kind of decentralized poker platform without rake please?<\/p>\n<p>The overall performance chart:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/chart3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-137\" alt=\"chart3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/chart3-300x168.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/chart3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/chart3-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/www.poker-analytics.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/chart3.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What can we see here? We can discern a nice roller-coaster pattern, which is the the standard pattern for a pro like myself, so that&#8217;s a good sign&#8230;and what is also a good sign is that I&#8217;ve just reached the top of the mountain &#8211; it was really exhausting &#8211; and now I can finally start the next descent&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s it for now guys, thanks for reading the challenge.
