Well done on your 3 wins in row, see you can win at the 1.15 level which is much better than playing the 60p ones.
Good luck and hope to see you on the 3.30s soon.
Have pinged you across a PM.
I have updated my first post to log my current BR. Now sat at around £39..which YES I know it's dropped £11 since I started this challenge, although it has been said, whilst I am undertaking this process and in the early stages of ANY BR challenge, it can be expected to drop - so I'm not panicing yet!
Just been looking over my results In the month that I have undertaken this challenge since depositing, and have achieved a success rate of around 51%. This figure in itself isn't too bad, but I need to make it that LITTLE Bit higher in order to become a Successful/Break-even, which I would be doing so IF I can garner out another 11%.
Once I get this additional %'age sorted I feel that naturally my BR will move forward..
I am continually analysing and working on my game and feel that results will come in time..especially as it seems that I am currently "on the receiving end" of some pretty nasty outdraws..
Onwards & Upwards!
Yeah, well I guess it certainly means I'm not doing too bad then - I know that you CAN build a BR through playing these games, as Devonfish has certainly demonstrated.
He has watched me on a number of occasions and I have recieved many a valueable tip from him.
Keep an eye on yr PM's.
IF you are around during the afternoon, and providing my internet works OK, I'm currently planning to return to the tables on Friday. I've had NET issues ALL week, so hopefully all should be fixed by then!
Friday 12/9/14
Very good session today and somewhat of a short one. I played in 2x DYM's and cashed both, so although the temptation was there to play-on and build the BR some more, I took the option to cease and do a "devonfish" and "Book the win"
Couple of awkward spots within game 1 @ 60p level where I was putting money into a raise then got re-raised, and was enforced to give up my str8 draw when I noticed the board and the betting suggested my opponent possibly "Had it"
Still I was pleased to fight back and ended up eliminating another player when he called my large bet with an all-in and found he was drawn-dead.

So back down under £40 again after two losses today. What with luck etc, I decided to stop at after the second game as clearly things were not going v well.
1st game I GII and lucked out in yet ANOTHER flush v gr8'er flush situation.
Second game I just played a bit poorly.
ALOT of thinking to do poker-wise as my form is yo-yoing at the moment and I think I'm trying to play too many hands rather than focusing on premiums and shove situations late on!

Played five games today. Lost the first game when I played quite poor AGAIN, and failed with an attempted bluff leaving my stack quite low. The I shoved with A5, which wasn't particularly the best of hands to go with but I knew I'd have at least a 40% chance. %'ages lowered when villain turns over quuens and I drew-dead on the flop when the Jammy S** FLOPPED QUAD QUEENS!!!!!
The other game I lost was one which dragged on until Blind Level9, and could quite easily have gone either way. "Quite unbelievable" was one phase used in the chat-box.
In another game which I cashed, a maniac bet into me and kept raising when I was holding QQ's - I wasn't letting that one go, when there's only 1x other starting hand I'm behind tCo. You can imagine my shock when villain turns over Kx and goe's onto win the hand with 2xPrs with both hole-cards pairing!!!
There was some Fun in the chatbox about his (Villains) betting and I replied that I felt good playing QQ's and about my suprise when he turned over what he did!
The VERY NEXT hand the DYM was over as the player who wrote in the chat box shoves with around 2.1k in chips and the Kx player who beat my pocket queen's shoves behind and ends up winning the hand AND the DYM in 1st place! Crazy game
I finished this session break-even, which is a bit of a funny dynamic as when playing 5x games at 60p level if you win 3 of them, you end up break even....I don't know whether this is the same at other levels, but I suspect this may be the case or you may finish with a small profit at such a win-rate as I finished with - 60%.
Once you get to the £3.30 games, a 60% win rate would get you around 9% ROI and see a healthy profit... entirely because of the lower rake vs rake at the 60p games.
Even at the next level up from your current games (the £1.15 games) the ROI on a 60% win rate would be around 4%...
Well done all the same though, a 60% win rate is really good going... as can be seen from Sharkscope, it is far better than my results at the DYM format!!
ps my ROI calcs are very rough and ready so my apologies if I'm slightly out with my maths!
