gl waller,am sure you will be back up there TPT ftw
You're a good player Ryan and will definitely bounce back. And if you have to deposit again, take heart from the fact you have't had to for so long...hundreds of people have to deposit on a regular basis!
You've learnt your lesson the hard way and know when your out of your depth. Play at a level your comfortable with and I'm sure you will turn it around. I wish you the best of luck.
Last night I played the £1.10 DS and finished out of the money. I also played 11 £1 DYMs, winning 7 and losing 4.
Start BR = £6.27 (£4 odd to come with C4P)
Current BR = £6.52
Bear in mind that £1.15 DYM's are raked at 15% whereas £1.00 HU STTs are raked at only 5%.
For this reason you should be able to make a much better ROI in the HUs.
For example;
60/100 wins in £1.15 DYMs returns a profit of £5.00, that's an ROI of 4.34%
60/100 wins in £1.05 HU matches gives a profit of £15.00, ROI is 14.28%
well done on withdrawing some to buy yourself something. why not treat yourself when you've done the hardwork to get the br in the first place. wish i was in that position!
you've done it once, you can do it again
good luck
Having such a low starting bankroll for this challenge can inevitably lead to more mistakes at the tables. We tend to play hands more cautious than normal and don't have the confidence to take down pots we wouldn't normally think twice about.
"Playing Scared" is a phrase we hear a lot when we have withdrawn or lost a big chunk of our roll and it certainly can play a big part in our thought process at the tables. But it's by no means impossible to build our bankroll back up if we apply ABC Poker basics and apply them well.
You only have to look at GaryQQQ's diary challenges to know it's not impossible.
So I wish you all the best sir.
The only advice I can give you is.........play with confidence and get the basics right.

Ps-- when you get back to 100 quid-- don't forget the 1.00 200 grtd-- some dodgy play at that time of night--gl
Larson - will take you up on the offer, but not whilst im on the edge of busto!.........not goin well so far today!!!
Yeah nutter I love the deepys, still gonna play the 1.10 one (have fun in dublin btw)
Gary made a very valid point about the difference in rake between the £1 HU and DYMs but I stayed on the DYMs because I find HU is easily my weakest form of the game (turns out I'm not great at the DYMs either lol)
Played the £1.10 DS again, once more failing to cash.
DYMs = Won 19 Lost 19.......I think these were the results anyway, either way I'm down down down.....but not quite out....YET
Start BR = £6.27
Current BR = £2.37.......very much need the £4+ to come when C4P is paid.
Won't be playing much (if at all) today as I'm going to a BBQ......run good all and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!
Will have to try and make up for it tonight (will also need to have a winning streak!!) and try to make the top 20 as it would be a great boost.............light at the end of a very long tunnel?????? Knowing my luck of late I will blow the rest of the money and finish 21st in the promo.......will be fun trying though!
We live and we learn.....if (or when as it seems) I have to deposit then I know to maintain a strict BRM to help stop this from happening again. Like I have said I became overconfident, thinking I was better than I was, this will not happen again........fingers burnt, ego deflated and sense restored!!
Ive played you a few times and im certain that whether you have to deposit or not you will be fine.
Its right what you say about over confidence mate but on the flip side of that you also shouldnt put yourself down too much either because you are a good player and we all need some confidence to play optimally.
GL
Daz.
Smash it mate you will come good again
Well......I was on the ropes, now I'm on the canvas and it is looking like I am going to have to deposit. My last chance will be when C4P is paid.
At 14.16 I played and lost my final DYM to place my balance at 12p........so I nipped over to the low stakes roulette table and stuck it all on red. The ball landed on RED!!! 24p.....6p more needed for a 30p DYM!!! (can you see how much I REALLY don't wanna depsoit!!! lol)........to cut a long story short, the quest for the other 6p on the roulette table was a fail.
So, it's a sad sad day in the waller household, tears have been shed, dogs have been kicked and the urge to throw my laptop out of the window has just about been controlled.
BR = £0.00
So that leaves me with £4 odd when C4P is paid....until then i will be freerolling it up! On the positive side....when the C4P is paid the Big Deal promo will be over so the DYMs will soften up as the likes of Donttelmum FO back to their own levels!!! lol
I was actually break even results wise but with such a low amount to play with..........I FOUGHT THE RAKE AND THE RAKE WON!
Will post again once C4P is paid and I try again (or if I managed to bink a MTT seat from one of the freerolls).
Run well all and enjoy the rest of the weekend
I'm not gonna deposit yet....gonna see if I can work miracles with this C4P payment.
Prob won't be depositing until the end of the month as I'm on holiday in a couple weeks, can only afford to stick 50 on (although with a bit of persuasion the missus might allow 100). As to what to play......I'm not sure, confidence is pretty low so prob play the deepys, 2.30 BH's.....might even have a crack at 4nl.
