Should I run a bankroll challenge?

Please do.
If you are able to beat micro stakes after 25k hands that must be an achievement. Live stream must be there with graph.

I had encountered with @CCwatcher420 several times in Bitcointalk Poker Series. Imo he/she is good at playing poker, and chances are we are going to see a new poker star in them in the future.

Can you please explain in simple words what does this magic "25k hands" mean? I've seen it on poker forums, but I don't understand why exactly this number, 25k? Thanks in advance!

Well it is because it is a large enough sample size to know if you are good at it especially if you are four tabling. Nothing is peculiar about 25k, it can be 30k or 20k.

Ah, I see now, thank you for explaining it! Thank Gog, no one believes in magic numbers here!

The idea is the more volume you put the less variance you will encounter.

I've played more 25k hads for sure, but I still don't dare to buy a ticket worth more than $10 for a tournament. Sometimes I "forced to".

A ticket for a game in Bitcointalk Poker Series can be from $15 to $25. But I never buy such expensive tickets for other events.
