    busted 50NL yesterday afternoon got top pair all in on the flop with a straight flush draw and lost to a better kicker! Ended up continuing the session at 50NL and spun up a fair stack before getting AA AIPF vs KK and came off the worst! Will go back tonight to a start at 10NL!

    Just tried this for a laugh. 

    Despite being a total noob at cash I managed to sit up from level 1 (which is 5p/10p I hope, I don't even know what 10NL means) with £13.96.
     
    In the final hand was two-outered with two to come by an all-in opponent for a £14.23 pot. Would have left with £28.17 had that one held.

    Logging off for the day, if I attempt level 2 it will have to be tomorrow.

    I'm currently on 50nl..........struggling on 18 quid. But, can I leave for the night as long as I sit down tomorrow with the exact same amount??? Quick reply appreciated :)

    EDIT: I wasn't sure what the situation was so I carried on and now I'm onto a new level........the first one again!!
    Got my chips in good but wasn't to be. A fun but annoying challenge haha 

    Lambert what's the crack with the above situation, for future reference?

    I have asked the same thing and still waiting on the reply. Have looked through the thread and it has been mentioned before although the reply from sky was a bit unclear, they basically said it SHOULD be ok. A definite answer would clear things up a bit.

    Sorry guys, will double check with Sky and let you know.

    But I'm 99% sure you'll have to start again from 10NL or at least 20NL but with £10 cos it's not really fair you starting with £24.58 when you started with £20 cos then you won't have spun it up from £10.

    Will let you all know tho.

    Ok, just completed Level Two. Not just completed but cashed out for over £43 so lock up £18 before I move on to the next level.

    However, I may have had a problem. I started playing & was on a slight profit (about a £1) when the table droped to just two other players. One was Evil Pingu so I decided to sit out for a couple of minutes. I came back a couple of minutes later just as it was kicking me off the table. I immediately rejoined and started playing straight away with the same stack as a 4th player had now joined. 

    Can you confirm that this doesn't throw me out of the challenge?

    I am sure SKY can verify this (Master Cash 3 tonight from 8.05 - 9.40).

    Thanks.

    @Chris - If you leave mid level then you would have to go back to the very start, so I'd suggest if you complete one level and think you can only carry on playing for another 30 mins or whatever, then it's best to leave it until the next day to play the next level. Unlucky on the set v flush.

    I completed the 10NL ages ago now and still keep meaning to do the 20NL level... gonna take a shot tonight while playing MTTs.

    @Ice Tiger - I'm sure this should be fine.

    @Waller/Boxster - Well we'd ask that you try to avoid this happening i.e. don't start the next level if you only have 20 minutes until you gotta pop out etc... but sometimes it's completely unavoidable, like sometimes you can play cash for an hour or two and on 1 table still end up with the amount you started with give or take a few quid. It just makes it harder for Sky to verify the run, but if it's unavoidable then just make sure you don't play any other MC tables and come back with te exact same amount.

    Boxster's case is different though because he never actually started the level with £10 as per the challenge so he'd have to start afresh.

    Hope this covers everything, good luck all and hopefully I'll get through the 20NL level tonight and maybe see some of you at 50NL.

    First time attempting the challenge today. Levels 1, 2 and 3 complete BOOM! No 100NL mastercash running right now plus don't know how long I can play for so will try again later.

    edit: Can't post HH but some notable hands that helped me along the way so far:

    Raised with 56s and flopped an open ender, turned the nuts. That was level 1 completed.
    Squeezed TT in the BB in a family pot. BTN does a weird min-3bet and I shove and hold up vs his AT. Level 2 completed.
    Raise KJs OTB and get 3bet by the SB and called by BB. I decide to shove (had gone down to £14 at this point) and get called by both. Flop is KQx and I end up winning with my kings.
    3bet AKs in SB. Flop is 986 so not great. I cbet and get a call. Turn is a K and I bet again and get a fold. That was level 3 completed.

    Cheers, hope to see you there!! (might make it easier for me :P jk)

    Was quite challenging and I wasn't that sure how to play. On the one hand I wanted to preserve my stack and play tight but on the other I thought gambling it up and playing loose might get me there quicker! A few times at 50NL when I had almost reached my target I was tempted to 3bet with garbage and just hope to take it down pre and complete the challenge but decided to pass and wait till I did actually have a value 3b hand!
