    £1  W  17  +£14.45
          L   18   -£20.70
                   ---------
                   -£6.25

    LOST  £6.25   B/R  £34.20    PTS  £4.35  to come.

    probably about right tonight. lost my last 3 games, even winning 1 would have helped.
    never mind, early days. still happy playing the £1 games for the time being.
    even enjoying some banter with a few of the reg's, who love telling me how rubbish I am doing  :)
    still, we'll see who has the last laugh, won't we boys  :)

    Sunday 22/6/14

    Up early this morning, I just can't sleep 
    Those kids are beginning to make me weep
    You're just no good, you had your day
    Come on back, we'll make you pay

    150 games in, I'm £6 down
    Beginning to think I 've lost my crown
    OMG what shall I do
    Has the game changed and I've stood still
    OMG I'm over the hill

    Come on Dev,... raise your game
    Come on Dev,.. raise your aim
    Shoot that poison arrow through those Hearts

    Ok, that may be ABC
    But that's the way it has to be
    Keep it simple keep it sweet
    They'll soon be falling at my feet

    I' ve done this once
    I can do this twice
    You'll soon be scared and run like mice

    I've come back from the dead many times before
    Unlike Groves, back on the floor
    Like a spider's web that you just don't see
    All your money is coming to me

    (*  *)

    Nice rhyming Dev, but I honestly don't know how you have the patience and discipline to play these levels, I def couldn't!

    Come up to the £3/5's where you belong, the rake's much nicer too. :-)

    It' a matter of discipline & self control. anyone can teach themselves to do it.
    so with £30 odd pound, what if I have a £15-£20 losing session, what do you do then?
    my way will take a while longer but it's much safer.
     I will be at the £3 level when my b/r can take it, around the £80-£100 mark, I'm thinking.

    yeah, fair point Doh they have the edge for sure. That doesn't mean this level isn't beatable though.

    Hi Connor,
    yes mate, go for it. are you going to start with £40 or less/more?
    how much dym have you played and at what levels?
    I have done this challenge 2 years ago, and it is a roller-coaster of a ride, so you need to be able to deal with that.
    you also need good brm and have to drop down levels as and when needed.
    just wanted to give you some advice before you set off, so to speak.
    When are you thinking of starting, today?
    best wishes my friend & good luck,
    Ian.

    Hi Ian thanks for reply so quick

    I play all dym and thats my main games. i would like to start £5.50 then move on higher when finally got enough BR.
    I was thinking starting at £40 and aim to £500 because im only 18. 
    what do you think?
    whats your honest opinion?

    Stay away from 5.50 with 40br. Im pretty sure devon will give a more detailed reason. If u want too take it serious start lower than that.

    It all depends on your ability to reload IMO

    If you can put £40 down, lose it all and then put another £40 down and try again then there's nothing wrong with diving straight into £5.50 games.  From experience there isn't a noticeable skill gap between the lower levels and seems to be many names that play both £5.50 and £3.30 interchangably.

    As I'm sure Dev will testify to though, a run of 7 losses (aka your whole roll) is not uncommon even if you're the best player on the site.

    Flip side is that if you win 7 or more in a row at the start you could potentially weather a downswing and ultimately enable your roll to grow much quicker (than if you played £1.10 level).

    But if you are busto when the £40 is gone then copy Dev and start slow :)

    starting at £40 is fine. but playing £5 is a high risk strategy, in other words you can't afford to lose.
    i am playing the £1 games with the same b/r and it is almost fullproof.I will be trying the £2 at £60 then the £3's at around £80-£100.again prepared to move down a level if my b/r goes backwards.
    you could risk the £3 games i guess, but again what happens if you have a £10-£20 losing session?
    what do you do then?
    ok you could well win and then you are up & away.
    I'm not going to tell you what to do, that's down to you mate.
    run good,
    Ian.

    hoooray back in profit  at last.
    playing 6 tables at the moment which is helping I think, also finally getting some run good.
    where it goes from here, we''ll have to wait and see. continuing with just the £1 games regardless.
