RICHORFORD · May 2010

Played for 2 or 3 hours last night. Same deal- £10 a time on two 5p/10p tables.

At one stage I'd pulled back to practically my starting roll- then I dipped again. Ended the session where I started- about 10 quid down overall on my original BR of £100.

Back to the drawing board...

Gonna give it another go tonight. To think I span £50 up to £80 the night before the challenge and now I'm struggling to get going on the lower levels.

As they say in internet circles- grrrrrr....

jubbley · May 2010

Im bailing out,got to 148.00 from 15.00 sat on 5/10. had aces lose to 22 then kk v 22 then jj v 22.

Think its riv 2 night tbh but im withdrawing 79.93 before i get smashed by more silly beats

I will be back on in july for a new challenge glad i ended up but taking time off sky to see what other sites offer

Good luck the mighty MILLWALL

unknown_username · May 2010

Bit up and down yesterday and this morning especially when I lost my stack with Jacks on 8 high board, the other chap had queens. Hey ho.

Better tonight, in with £4 on 5/10 and got that up to £23.

Starting roll: £50
Current roll: £88.86
P/L: £38.86

off bed now BRstands at £274...down £46 l8ers folks

DOHHHHHHH · May 2010

+ 136 ON THE DAY, all bankroll challenge stuff as its before midnight....

I didnt realise early on this afternoon, was on 3 x nl30 tables.......but only had a £78 bankroll to play with.....

I ended that mini session £6 up.....

But overall, + 136, which makes me + 114 on a starting roll of £100, so 214 to play with.....

Honest there.....is there some sort of penalty? I really didnt think about what I had to play with.....78...n i laid 90.....dok me!!!

Who's the rule man?

Ozzie08 · May 2010

So 2day, it all started so well, played some early morning cash, managed to get the roll up to just under £350

Then came the evening session with DOHHHHHH and dylan12, how this was a gd idea in the 1st place i will never know

So magaged to get stacked by DOHHHHHH then again by a villian at nl 40, followed by 91st in the b/h it was a pretty awfull evening

Really enjoyed the gm with dohhhh, dylan and daveyzz though wp guys

starting br £100

finished br £195 still up but could of been so much better

ozzie

dylan12 · May 2010

Today was a disaster - played nl20 and managed to bluff most of my stack when villain calls my shove with K high sigh - grinded away and got it back - then moved to nl30 - few bluffs didn't work out so was down there - then moved to nl40 with doh and ozzie - great crack but lost a bit when I had 10 10 v daveyz who had 23 and hit his trip 3's lol!! Then got stacked on a x78 board with 77 - villain had 88 gg - BR now down to £66.99 - couldn't believe I had so much left tbh.

scotty77 · May 2010

great BR challenges guys with like 2/3BIs.

like 10BI minimum cos even thos both of you can crush those levels you can still get totally ana led by the deck and then your are BR busto...

20nl and grind it out guys.....when im on a bad run/tilted off rolls i go down there even tho im overrolled for it as punishment but yeah its not really cos its so easy down there its like free money.

Wilhelm · May 2010

At the end of day three the roll stands at £3.50. Slowly slowly catchy monkey...

MAXALLY · May 2010

And BTW MR Machka......I see the LML quest is going well from your chart thingy above

TommyD · May 2010

Had a very good PLO session to end the Bank Holiday Weekend on a high. Currently up to £882.01.

DOHHHHHHH · May 2010

Still no ruling on my bankroll mis-management?

JohnConnor · May 2010

Bit of a poor weekend really hardly managed to play. Did try a progressive system in dyms saturday night (win 5, win 10, win 20 - rinse repeat) but bubbled in first 20er and then lost another 5er. Found time to play only two last night and managed two out of two (losses that is lol). Upshot is im down so far.

£133.79

kieswacker · May 2010

Started a bit late, well today.

Deposited £20 specifically for the challenge and now at £72.49

Sharksbite · May 2010

This thread is awsome, very best of Luck to Rich and every1 else in their challenge. The challenge that stood out to me the most was Bryan1960. With a starting Br of 0.40 pence, I think by far imo this will be the toughest, and have the greatest respect if he makes his target.
I dont know whether any of you have ever seen Chris Fergusons $0 to $10,000 Br challenge, I havent posted the link as I didnt think it would be permitted on here. Its really interesting and a great watch/motivator.

Good Luck all.

DTWBANDIT · May 2010

started with £150 on sat after mastercash was down to £140-90 so down £9-10 so far dtw

walesboy · May 2010

Oh well
Not a good start - down to £31.41
2 hands did it for me.
Had K K - raised 3BB pre flop - all called. It came 9 high flop all suited with 1 of my kings. Went all in to trim field and got 1 caller who had 9 3! Turn = 3, River = 9 to give him a FH.

Second one - went all in after turn gave me Ace flush. Caller had Queen flush until river gave him a straight flush!

Is there a Richard Orford jinx/curse!!!LOL! Was running well before joined the challenge.
Hopefully the luck changes soon!
