    2015.....The story so far;

    January; nothing much happening poker wise
                 off the tables... more trash talk
    February; Started playing micro cash @888
    March; as above
    April; as above  
    profit to date; $187.88 (approx. £120)
    withdrawn $141.41  current b/r $46.47 (from zero)
    Started off playing 1c/2c (2-6 tables)
    now playing 2 tables @ 2c/4c
    plan; move up to 3c/6c when b/r hits $60 (1 table)
            move up to 5c/10c when b/r hits $100 (1 table)
    Why post as you are no longer playing at Sky Poker?
    good point. Thought it might be of some interest to one or two.
    What next? Any chance of playing here again?
    Not right now but never say never I guess.
    How about another challenge then? or returning to DYM's?
    I'm always up for a challenge but right now it's more about fun than anything else
    as to DYM's? maybe, but as long as I'm winning at cash I'll carry on I think, as I know the sky's the limit.. ha ha.

    ok, that's all for now.
    Good luck with your own goals & best wishes,
    Dev.

    Mick

    PS
    If you want a fresh challenge on here why not try PLO8 DYM's.
    Good little community of players and all good fun.

    Interesting idea
    A bit like me going on Tescos forum and saying

    "I'm not keen on Tesco, i much prefer other supermarkets . I've decided to keep a thread on here letting you all know about my shopping exploits at Waitrose"

    Welcome back(ish) Dev

    Not sure about your supermarket analogy Jac - Do supermarkets have forums? Is Skypoker the "Tescos" of the online world and 888 the Waitrose? Who would be Aldi/Lidl?

    Tbh I have no idea if Tesco have a forum, Phantom. I take your point though. I'll try again. There must be car forums?

    It's a bit like going on the Rover forum and saying you don't like Rovers. However, you're going to keep a thread saying how much you love tazzing around in your Saab

    Hmmm Rover a Britsh institution, loved by some and derided by others, taken over by foreign investors? That could work.

    How about football, say you were a Villa fan, reg on a Villa forum and moved to say Ballmouth and kept posting about well Ballmouth were doing?

    People like the forum and the community here and long may that continue imo.

    A good example of someone playing elsewhere and making good contributions here was TeddyBloat albeit not for a while. 

    Keep contributing Dev, look forward to the picture viewing.

    The only decent thing rover produced was the mini and dogs TBF.

    I think Grumps point was merely the kinda rubz, maybe had Dear Dev not mentioned the 'other site' and just his cash goals, that would have gone down better.

    Just sharing the mental image I now have of Dev 'tazzing around' in a Saab. I can't suffer alone.

    ...

    That should do it

    I guess one of the upsides is that when he derides idiots for getting lucky no-one here will be directly insulted.

    Best of luck Dev, keep it fun.

     I am sure the majority of regs on here play games elsewhere, so really don't see the harm.

    Mini - iconic obviously

    I thought the Rovers post Honda tie up were pretty decent and the "Land" and "Range" weren't too shabby in their class.

    I could mention a few old car wrecks like the Allegro etc  .... but choosing to keep it positive

    Nice pic Dev - looks like a cross between Terence Trent D'Arby and Farrah Fawcett.

    and we all have friends like that, don't we? 
    still we let them off with their little foibles as we enjoy their company. It's all about being part of a community imho.

    and yes, dev, when you fancy a new challenge then come and give the plo8 dyms here a go, but for now gl in your 888 cash adventures.

    Hi all,
    quick up-date;
    not played for the last month as I needed a break, did get up to around £100 profit in total, (with bonuses, freerolls, cash, etc) over @888 so not too bad.
    was crushing 2c/4c, struggled @ 3c/6c(2p/4p)...as expected lol
    b/r now is back to zero, withdrawn all profit. If/when I start again I'll rebuild from zero playing freerolls then 1c/2c & work back up...again.
    No plans on playing right now, would come back to sky & play micro cash, but rake is to high for my liking.
    never say never though, I guess.
    anyway...
    Back painting so will post a few up in the order they were painted.
    hope you like them.
    Best wishes,
    Ian.

    this is the one I am working on right now...so cute.
