    Ha Ha,
    i drive at 28mph & 60-65 mph respectively  lol
    I only have the occasional bet & I guess betting on the 16 times world champion is about as safe as you can get,  lol
    I nearly had £90 on Peter Wright @ 2/9 to win £20 (wish I had, he won 3-0) lol but thought better of it.

    anyway, back to today, toothache has eased off so feeling better, not sure why it came & went, saw the dentist & she couldn't see any problem, hope that's it but I've got my doubts.
    playing some poker in a bit, gl me.  :)

    day 188 saturday  21/12/14

    went for the xmas promo top 50 sit n go win £100 each

    points won today 836  but will be a few less counting for promo

    £5 games  played 3 sessions   W19  L 28
                                            W 15  L 9
                                           W 44 L 38

    TOTAL W 78  L 75

    lost £61.25    B/R £518.89   PTS 1543  

    £5 GAMES W 78 L 75  TOTAL W 302 L 245  PROFIT +£11.50

    not my best day poker wise. got off to a horrible 1st session & it was always damage limitation from there on in.
    but on the plus side , as long as I have enough points & get the £100 bonus it's still a pretty good overall result I guess.

    anyway, it's all over now, can't change anything can I.
    FEELING OK TBH BIT TIRED BUT AT LEAST i'VE GIVEN IT MY BEST SHOT, so can't ask for anymore than that.
    just hope to see that bonus tomorrow, if not I will be gutted, won't I.  lol
    night all.

    In Response to Re: £40 to £1,040.... dev's 2nd DYM challenge.(current b/r £580.14).... profit from £5 games...+£73.00 : Well Done on giving it a shot Devon, 153 games today so thats 153 days work packed into 1 lol, you deserve the day off today my friend. Im sure you should have enough for a top 50 spot so if your gonna have a bad day at the tables it might aswell be one like today when sky are kind enough to refund your losses. Im thinking maybe 1 game per day from now on is the way forward and book the win or loss to limit any damage :) On a more serious note though i think 4-6 tables is prob a more optimum amount for you to play at any one time cos although 12 tables etc are ok for rake races it must reduce your win rate playing so many at once and that said i dont think today is a true reflection on your £5 dym game. GLGL

    Thanks my friend,  what a lovely post & a lovely way to start off my Sunday. ty
    the 1st session where all the damage was done I was playing 12 tables, obviously for the maximum points.
    after that in session 2 It dropped to 10 then eventually 8 for the rest of the day & that felt fine tbh.
    If I could turn the clock back then I would have played the 8 all day long & I think would have broken even.
    anyway, another lesson learnt, & so it goes on  lol

    as you say 4-6 is my way forward from now on maybe trying 8 again sometime for a session or two, & see if this is +ev or not.
    no regrets though & IF I make the bonus with the £8 poker points added on it still equates to around £47 profit  -:)
    back in May/June I think it was it took me a whole month to make £45 playing the £1 games..  lol
    so I'll take that for a few hours grinding  lol

    as to the £5 profit. obviously I'm gutted it's dropped from £73 to £11 in 1 session, but I'll hopefully rebuild it up again.
    I'll still go ahead & play 3x£5 & 3x£3 sessions as originally planned, even if it means I go in the red for a while, as I'm sure you are all right in saying I should up my volume... well a bit anyway.  lol

    day off today, going out for Christmas lunch with the family, so that's always good fun  -:)
    anyway gran, have a nice Sunday yourself & best wishes as always mate.
    thanks again for posting & all your support :)

    Congrats dev 

    well done on the 100quid makes up for yesterday.

    300 odd got into the top 50 if i knew it was going to be that low i may have tried lol

    Plus you will get a nice bonus at the end of the month now propbably over the 3000 points so you could be close to £700 by new year.

    many thanks Stuart for the info -:)

    day 200  1/1/15

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

    day 199 wed 31/12/14  day off

    so, December summary;
                                    
    b/r at start £539.34
    b/r at end  £686.26  c4p £16.51 to come

    net profit (inc c4p)  £163.43

    £5 games profit  start £55.00
                           end £79.00
    profit +£24.00

    lost £60+ of my £5 games profit playing a xmas promo & that figure dropped to £11.50 but since then have had a great run & built that back up to £79 again, so delighted with that, with the help of a 17 game winning streak & still running, a new PB for me, so still got that to finish -:)
    so yeah, all in all another good month.

    so almost at £700 now & in sight of the home stretch...well nearly  :)
    still enjoying it today as much as when I started..now 200 days ago  lol
    the £5 games battle goes on & will be me my primary focus again this month.
    hope to be playing more games this month,(as my confidence on the £5's especially is good right now),  starting off with 3x£5 & 3x£3 & see where that leads me to.

    so that's it, another month & year over...how time flies when you are enjoying yourself, ha ha.
    hope to get this challenge over with by March/April maybe, & then it's on to the next one  lol

    it was going to be dym challenge no.3 500-5000 but that might get put back on ice as another challenge came to me last night, & without giving too much away, it doesn't involve dym's as such, but it will certainly be going down another route shall we say. :)
    anyway, that's all for now..
    run good in 2015 everyone,
    best wishes,
    dev

    edit[ just remembered, I put a £40 bet on Phil Taylor to win the darts @ 15/8 so still have that in running
          net return if he wins £115
    so profit was really £203.43  gl me.

    edit[ 5/1/15  poor old Phil Taylor had double troubles which robbed me of a nice return, but had a good run 4 me money.
                      Pleased for Anderson though, he played well in every game & deserved his title as World Champion.
