    Another 10 games down, and guess what, I still sit on 60%. For the third batch in a row its Won 6 Lost 4, only trouble is losing 2 out of 2 at the £3.30 level and winning 6/8 at 60p. Losing 12 out my last 13 at £3.30 (and 20 out of the last 23) has been a bit of a hit and I've decided to swerve those for a while now to restore some confidence and re-charge the bankroll.

    So to confirm - Pld 40, won 24, lost 16 - Rate 60%

    Lost the £5er on the bravery challenge - got a bit short then busy with A255ds preflop potting over limper only to end up all-in v 2 others and knowing I wasn't in good shape. was only one with nut low which didn't come and of course my flushes missed too.

    Half way there overall now 31/50.

    Said this in chat box - not being results oriented (well maybe I am a bit) but cant win an all-in in NLHE at the moment which is very frustrating.

    The great thing about PLO8 is when I lose an all-in, I haven't a clue about the odds so it definitely isn't as tilting as losing a few 70/30 80/20s in a row!

    Thanks. I think maybe you are enjoying a few too many scoops of a different kind while sat in the clubhouse.

    Fancy trying to reraise the mighty AJ - fingers burnt.

    Haha. Too true. I have been enjoying a bottle of red named Saturday Night Special. On a Wednesday.

    Faded draws, nut lows got counterfeit - one of those nights.  Played badly in places though, and that's important to remember.  Just glad I made it through the first 100 before the run-good turned bad!

    67bhoys 10 in a row

    Talon 17/19

    mac24 9 in a row.

    Incred!

    I honestly don't know how you lads do it. Fair play to you, you've got the game proper sussed.

    Meanwhile, from the once heady heights of 71%, my leaky ship sits ever lower in the water.

    Session # 9 (now reached the 80% mark)

    Games played 10, as follows....

    £3.30, P9, W4, L5

    £5.50, P1, W0, L1

    £11.00, P0, W0, L0

    = Played 10, Won 4

    TOTAL TO DATE

    P80, W51, L29 = 64%.

    Previously Preliminary Perfected Proper Patent Pending Plipper Plopper Predict-O-Meter (Poo).



    Worst possible outcome is 51% of games won

    Best possible outcome is 71% of games won


    SO I predict I will win between 51% & 71% of my 100 games.



    Actual current Predict-O-Meter reading is....

    51%--------71%

    Was set for a recovery, & won the first 3 games in a canter.

    Then lost 6 of the next 7.......
  • edited November 2014

      I for one am putting my score down to a current run of unrealistic run good and luck. The break down will show this,

     First 32 games Won 18 lost 14 56%  Not great but not  bad either.
     Next 37 games Won 30 lost 7 81%   Not long term achievable at all.

     I can only equate so much of this to knowledge skill and good strategy. Truth be told i am running very high on the positive side of variance. I know it will come to an end but the question will still remain. Where is my natural percentage? Will prob need 10,000 plus games to sort that out
  • edited November 2014
    I'm more than happy with my natural percentage. I play so many but the BR only gradually increases, so I guess I am at about 57%. When I try, that gets up to about 62 or 63%. Can't grumble at all, I play a game that's brill, keeps me entertained, stops the brain from caving in completely and I've built a bankroll from nothing. It's all groovy!

    I think you should do the sensible thing and stop now and we can call it a draw.

    0/1 today

    so 31/51

    Allowed a player to rile me in chat in today, so for that and a few other reasons, taking a few days off.

    Pretty sure I didn't get abusive but the fact I reacted at all is not a good sign.

    GL everyone

    Oh no, hate to see things like this!
    I've (thankfully) got a short list of names, who I immediately put onto mute as soon as a game starts, and if their name pops up in observer chat, I turn off observer chat too. Not an ideal situation, but I've found that a leopard rarely changes it's spots. What some of these people will do to win a pound or two amazes me!

    The only feature I'd love to see added to Skypoker, is a permanently mute player Blahblah. As much as many people would use it, I can't see it happening though as it goes against the 'community' spirit I guess.

    Is he a new player?
  • edited November 2014
    To be fair to the other player (who isn't on this challenge) all they did was say "lucky" when I didn't think it was appropriate - it was my bad for letting that get under my skin - hence the criticism is aimed at myself and not the other player.

     Ok three quarters through the challenge now. Bad start to session losing 2 of first 3. recovered to win last 3.

    Overall.  Played 75 won 52 69.3%


    So min 52%
        max 77%
     Target 67%

    Phantom you may already be aware of this but incase you arent you know you can ignore a player and still view the chat of others. We are all very well aware of a player that has two ids both of whom I and others ignore everytime he enters the table....mostly he isnt playing but joins to annoy us.

    Let me know if you need details as to how to place someone on ignore.

    Our enjoyment of the game is paramount and I think the ignore option is the best part of the sky software upgrade.

    aaahhhh wellll......back to the start again, my luck finally ran out and I bust out of my streak at 9 games won.

    hit trips on flop, 3 different suits on board, oppo hit runner runner hearts to give a flush

    long way to go...plenty of time try again

    20/36, 55%, no games won

    Hi all

    I have a terrible confession to make - I comletely forgot about this challenge :O   I have so far only played one game (and lost) but forgot to make a note of what the buy in was.  I got myself confused about which games count in the challenge and couldn't remember if tourneys counted too or just the dyms.  The lovely Geldy cleared it up for me today so from tomorrow night I'll be back playing and trying to learn the game.
