    Thanks Lisa.

    Can't deny it's not a bit boring, but I've got my game face on - quite fancy the challenge to be honest. Still find poker fun at whatever level anyway, so that's not a problem....if the thread goes quiet, you know I've reloaded! ;-)

    Yup. Me too I enjoy the poker, the challenge and the banter.. But if I go quiet I am either eating or sleeping.. If I randomly enter the 110 tourney then I'VE reloaded.. prob for about £110.. er.. Not quite getting the point of BR management am i? ;)

    Hehe, I guess there's another school of thought that if you have enough cash to play in a tourny and you really want to, then just play it....after all....if I have £50 and want to go on a night out, I don't just spend 5% of it...hmmm I'm contradicting my own thread here....and I'm logging off before I discombobulate and play a 20 quid dym and think "h ell to it" ;-)

    Yesterday, I played a £2 dym with the dym gang and doubled up, but then bubbled in a 10 man stt.

    Played 2p/4p cash and lost to 56 with jacks, so now down to £20.78, but hoping to get something from the tko freeroll...

    Still thinking positively!

    I love these bankroll challenges, ive done many myself.

    try satting into tournies for as cheap as you can.

    1 deepish run makes the whole difference.

    When i did my last challenge, id grind all day and if i made say £2 profit, id use that for a sat, and then try and hit the jackpot!lol

    Good luck mate

    I do the same as Dantb10 did during his bankroll challenge.
    I play the low limit DYM games and if I have had a good run then I am off to find a sat for the big MTT.
    Doing things this way has helped me cash in the MTT at least once a month and helped to pay some of the unwelcome bills that arrive at the same time.
    I still have a lot of fun playing the low limit games and move between the 60p DYM games to the £1.15 DYM games depending on my mood at the time I am playing.

    Well - bit of a roller coaster today, but have ended on £37.29 - so am happy enough with that...thanks for the additional posts chaps. I'm mixing it up a bit (a few stts/low level cash) - will try to look for a satellite tomorrow

    In Response to Re: Self-Inflicted Bankroll Challenge:
    All this advice about 60p DYM is a terrible idea, dont listen to it,i talk from experience,the way to go is the 2p/4p cash tables, these 60p DYM tables have a 20% rake attached,and with a low bankroll you dont have the funds to support a 20% givaway each time,even the mentors in TP are only taking 10% lol put £4 or £5 down on the low cash tables and build your bank roll up, and do not go up a level until you have £100 and then only to the 4p/8p tables. Grimstar30 gives a very valuable piece of advice too, use the freeroll tournies as well such as super6 etc

    DYM at 60p means 5 games cost £3 - if you only cash 3 x you stand still! - As I keep saying they are rake builders not roll builders!

    So as Loon says - go to the cash instead or  at least go for the 12/12 or 30 seater SNG's - if you do the 35p BH yes you still pay a huge % in rake BUT you can make a serious return on your investment!

    And again freerolls are vital to building your roll - esp the ones that offer entry into main event tournies.

    I was on ZERO the day that Omaha started on sky and won a place in the 10+1 BH 8pm tournie through an Omaha Freeroll - I cashed and went to the cash tables and reg SNG and tournies - within 2 weeks I was up to £400 - I seriously doubt that would be possible playing DYM's.

    Am sure nobody's overly interested, but I thought I best provide an update here, or you'd take it as read, I'd gone bust ;-)

    Thanks to a 3rd in the 8.15 DP last night and the cash for points today, having dropped back to £75, I'm now back up to £129.16

    yo, i started playing poker by depositing £5... found i could win at 30p dym, moved up each level and now play 3.30 dym and have made a decent amount :)... so it is possible.
