JUNE 30TH
COMPETITION!
OK- since it's the last night of my June bankroll challenge, let's have a bit of fun with it and throw some little Sky Poker goodies into the mix.
So...I have £156 going into tongiht's session at approximately 7pm.
I will finish around midnight, or perhaps just before depending on when my last tourney ends.
My question is- how much will my bankroll be at the close of play tonight?
Nearest answer wins a bunch of Sky Poker branded merchandise- a stressball, couple of keyrings, couple of beermats and loads of pens.
In the event of a tie, the first person to have posted will win.
Post your guesses on this thread and the very best of luck!

3rd June
So- the June bankroll challenge is a simple one..
At some stage during the month. You must double up.That's it. So, the amount is up to you- it could be a tenner, it could be £1000. And it doesn't matter how you do it. State your starting amount and then just keep us updated as to how far you are from doubling it.
The really good players should probably aim for a larger amount as Dohhhhhh for example found it a bit of a stroll to double up £100. Make it a figure that's affordable for you, but also a challenge. Something you think you might just be able to manage at a push in 30 days, but which maybe you've never done before.
And if you hit 100% fairly quickly, then great- keep going and let us know how you're doing.
As for myself- I think I'll start with £100 again and hope for the best.

Hi everyone,
Due to the success of this thread (but not, I notice , the success of my own bankroll challenge) those wise folk at Sky Poker have asked me to continue the bankroll challenge through June.
Any suggestions as to how we could shake it up in that month?How about everyone starts on a tenner- and see who can turn it into the most cash by the end of the month?
Or maybe we should just carry on as we are with various different amounts of cash but aim for the same percentage increase. Let's say 200%?
How about this?- We all start on June 1st with a tenner and play the 2p/4p tables. Only when you hit a certain figure, e.g. £100, are you allowed to move on to the next level.
So throughout the month, we all report about which level we're on, as opposed to how much money we've got. That would be a pretty easy league table to set up and a good motivation for everyone- especially since, unlike pretty much any other sport, game, race etc, we'd all be starting on a level playing field.
A true test to see who is the best of the best!
Well, I've rattled off a few ideas off the top of my head there.
Any thoughts?

Right- who fancies a little challenge for the month of May?
From May 1st to May 31st I’m going to turn £100 of my own money into £200 on the Sky Poker tables.
Sounds easy, you say? See if you can do the same.
It doesn’t have to a hundred quid, it can be as little or as much you want. Simply add to this thread how much you’re starting with and your mission objective by May 31st.
Will you, like me, be aiming for a Return on Investment (ROI) of 100%?
A more modest 50%? Or perhaps even a cocky £300%?
As they say on Big Brother: You decide...
Once we’re all on board then we can keep updating on here throughout the month and providing mutual support along the way.
It’s not a competition as such. There's no prize other than kudos from the community- so there’s no point in fibbing about how you’re doing- it’s total honesty at all time.
Think of it like a Weightwatchers Club- we’re all in it together, we’re all watching the pounds, and there’s no cheating the scales!
And the beauty of this challenge being based on percentage profit is that it applies to all players, regardless of bankroll, blind levels or ability at the game. So I’m hoping to see everyone on here from beginners to the big-shot names of Sky Poker. All are welcome.
My personal challenge will be covered in a forthcoming show from mid-May called ‘PTP-The Challenge’ where I’m sure your questions and advice from this thread will also be featured.
I’ll be posting on here regularly and also blogging through the month.
And here's the first blog on the subject... CLICK HERE
Right, who’s up for it? Let’s start up a bankroll club for May and see what happens!

If I run into trouble can I top it up by washing cars or taking dogs for a walk?
I will start with £50 on the 1st May and like Greg, I will attempt to run it upto £200 by the 31st (note to self however - only play holdem, not omaha - only play holdem, not omaha, only play holdem, not omaha)
I dont do reloading.
Last month I turned £150 into £700 but had the most awful luck on the mtt's.
Low stakes grinding it is from now on
soz mick i checked it out again on sharkscope ,
you must be misunderstanding me ,

i may do a £50 RR challenge along side the cash ;0) hmmmmmmmmmm thanks for the confidence boost
