Day 7: Early Bird Grinding & Big Ticket Gains! 🦅♠️

Starting Bankroll: $500

Current Bankroll: $583

The Early Morning Grind

Sometimes the poker itch hits at the strangest hours. I woke up naturally at 5:00 AM today and couldn’t get back to sleep—I just wanted to crack on and get some hands in! Since it was so early, I decided to run this session off-stream, pop on a warm brew, and focus fully on the tables.

It turned out to be a solid, disciplined session where every small win counted toward the bigger picture.

Today’s Numbers

• Games Played: 13
• Total Buy-ins: $20.35
• Total Cashes: $24.96
• Session Profit: +$4.61
• New Bankroll Balance: $583.00

While a $4.61 profit might not look like a massive spike on paper, keeping sessions positive while logging volume is what keeps the bankroll growing steadily.

Ticket Bagged! 🎟️

The real highlight of the day came from yesterday's qualification setup. I managed to officially bag that $109 target ticket for the Final Phase!

Combined with the $22 ticket I won earlier in the challenge, I’m building up some incredible high-value tournament shots without taking direct hits to our core $583 roll. I’ve decided to hold onto both tickets and fire them next week.

What’s Next?

We’re sitting comfortably at +$83 overall after one full week of grinding. The foundation is solid, the bankroll is moving in the right direction, and we have some huge upside coming with those target tickets next week.

Thanks for following along with the challenge so far—see you all back on stream for Day 8! 🚀
