    So second day, decided to play a couple tbs in the morning at nl30 and ran a nice little profit. This gave ne the chance to buy into primo which was a waste of time my KK busted by the mighty Q4.

    Played some more cash in the evening ran bad at the start but came gd at the end with a nut flush against a set which greatly improved the roll

    Finished off with a 10 man stt with the forum regs that was taken down by pod1 with loonytoons 2nd, wd guys gg

    So starting BR was  £100

    BR is now               £209.90

    At the end of day 2 (or beginning of day 3, whatever) the roll stands at a lovely £2.80. 
  • edited May 2010

    UPDATE - (Bad day at the office.)

    Opening Balance = £118.70

    Played super sunday 35/52 -£5.50
    Played £1500 B/h     39/218 -£11.0

    I then spewed £7.20 on the 2/4p cash tables in about 1/2 hour. I hate cash!

    Closing Balance  = £95.00

    And I suppose I will have to say well done to Machka on his table thingy so......it aint too bad mate :)

    I'm almost as good at spreadsheets as I am at Chip and a Chair.
  • edited May 2010
    I've got £52 in the locker and I'm aiming for £100.

    Will be aiming to do it on the SNG tables as I prefer it to cash.  
  • edited May 2010
    Got 7 games in today - 5 x £2.25 DYM (3/5) & 2 x £3.30 DYM (2/2)

    Profit for day = £6.15

    BR now £25.35

    And yes, Machkas table is very lovely and he deserves some sort of reward...how about he gets 5% of everyones profits at the end of the month?

    That should put the cat amongst the pigeons ;)

    very well done sir.  withdraw 556 and play Sparce HU AT 5/10....go on you know you want to :P
  • edited May 2010
    Well I withdraw from my account down to the nearest 100 before I start any session, then play low stakes (20/30/40, and the 2 velocities) before midnight, figure out where Im at, (on Saturday it was -22) - Then just play whatever I want after midnight.

    I aint playing nl100/200 anymore - It makes me do stupid things! - Weird that - surely it shud be the other way round
  • edited May 2010
    Progress has slowed down but it's still heading in the right direction.  After a few more £22 DYM's and a small win on the PLO 50 tables the roll is up to £706.77, so +£206.77 in May so far.
  • edited May 2010

    I am now down to £30.20 from my starting £50, and the way I'm running I can't see any halt on the road to oblivion - although I shall keep updating here

  • edited May 2010
    After a couple of months without Sky (running beyond bad), I went for a wander around a couple of other sites.

    Have been playing alot of Omaha Rush which is beyond wild. Did reasonably well but I need to get my 50NL Sky grinding head back on I feel.

    So i deposited £200 last Friday and I'm now at £900. No BRM involved, went to 50NL with my 4BI Roll and have ground upwards.

    Aim is to get to around 2k by the end of the month.

    Ambitious? Maybe a little but I'll give it a go.
