Two years ago, in May 2018, our streamer James Mackenzie, better known as OP Poker James set himself a bankroll challenge: he wanted to go from $30 to $1000 by playing PokerStars Power Up. After he hit his goal he decided to aim even higher: he wanted to continue the challenge and to hit $30,000 while playing exclusively on PokerStars and streaming the whole challenge on Twitch. He achieved his goal during Stadium Series on 2nd of August 2020.

In this video James breaks down exactly how he tackled the challenge and breaks down all of his cashgame and tournament winnings.

@Jobysworld 3 года назад

23bb over 58k hands is amazing. Woulda definetly liked more insight on the strategy/overall process

@nGUNNARp Год назад

thats before rake, was actually around 9...you can see they made 12k, but -7200 in rake, so $4800 profit

@xmaslox03 3 года назад

I hope next challenge will be 40k to 1 000 000$ GL

@cihaneren4842 3 года назад

Big congratz mate! If I am not wrong you paid around 52.000$ rake to make 30.000$ profit. Can you share what rakeback you got in percentage? I think what rake you pay to network is not important as what rakeback you are getting. For such rake you have to get at least 40-50% back.

@OPPoker 3 года назад

Total rake was $29,652 (7,206 in cashgame and 22,446 in tournaments) Total profit excluding any rakeback $42,000. I think overall my rakback was very small less than 5% in total but none of that is shown in profit graphs. -James

Fuck stars, that's awful

@cihaneren4842 3 года назад

@@bendover4773 Yeah thats crazy. James is good, improved a lot on the way and dedicated. I think thats only 1% of total player pool. And he have to pay "x" amount of rake to make same "x" amount of profit after long years of grind. Think about rest of the player poll. Probably average player is loosing money at the end due to no rakeback policy in stars.

@cihaneren4842 3 года назад

@@bendover4773 Its really crazy.. For last 29 months.. 1.000$ rake from a player and average 50$ rakeback each month. I dont think most of us paying such money on any kind of service in our life :) Maybe only our rent or mortagage can compete with that.. sick..

@cihaneren4842 3 года назад

@@bendover4773 Yet we are telling every year that poker become more and more harder. Its true that players are developing but also every year new players are adding up to poll. I think major difference between today and 10 years ago is the rakeback policies changed drastically. Game is same game.. Before you need to beat other players. Now you need to beat the rake. From James example he made 30k$ profit. If that was 10 years ago he will make 50k$ with rakebacks.

@gm8t879 3 года назад

Incredible! Would be great to see a video on building a bankroll through cash games or more detail into your cash game stats during this challenge.

What challenge do you think James should do next? Let us know!

@The_Life_Shoequatic 3 года назад

Thanks for the final report on the ROI from the different formats. What next? I know they are not your favourite, but it is hard to deny the ROI you achieved with MTTs and how they create a compelling narrative for the stream. Perhaps you can find an edge by really understanding PKOs? Clearly, this is not a solved format by the population. There is a lot of learning potential there, which I recall you mentioning on stream you find a plus. Plus the narrative of a MTT for streaming as I mentioned. Haven't seen you streaming for awhile, James. Hope you get back to it soon regardless of the format!

@bobbywinger6741 3 года назад

Welll done james !! New Challenge could be win 100 buyins at each level on spin & go's, pleases micro players and the ballers of the world

@edgelamer 3 года назад

Great challange, especially considering u've crushed every format out there. That says alot about your poker abilities.

@shayreno1461 3 года назад

Really trying to build bankroll. Bust it earlier by playing over my limits and sucked out by a gut shot on the river and a back door flush then went uo against aces twice in a row.

@TheTiltedOne 2 года назад

You won $8.68 from 878 hands of $0.01/$0.02. If you extrapolate that out over 50k hands you would have won about $495 total. Compared to the 30k you won from playing anything but penny games. But the rake is respectable at PokerStars? tell me more. hahahah

Siiiiiiickkkk man. Congratulations

Hahaha, "stop whining about it. Just get better."

@TheNemesis4u 2 года назад

wouldnt suggest anyone starting with spin and goes most people will not be able to take the swings i wouldnt play any sng format that you have less then 8-10% ROI in. Until you are very advanced and even then you dont have to you can still grind 6max sngs and make a decent living.

@SquattersVision 3 года назад

Hey man, very well done. Do you know how many hours you put in total? Or even an estimate on average hours per day or month? Gl going forward, been good following

@OPPoker 3 года назад

I didnt track that unfortunately. Also a lot of it was 1 tabling on stream so it wouldve been a pretty bad hourly 😅

not saying u dont know how to play but u couldv have lost money if u had bit worse luck

how do you assume that without any information? this is very funny

@aaronkindoll8242 3 года назад

@@giovanni679 It's called variance and every player goes through it. That's why they call for you to have 100 buy ins

@antihackerify 3 года назад
