    lost the plot these last couple of days, major tilt, crazy cash some outrrageously high buy-in sng's (for my BR) lol, luckily won some back so my balance now stands at £199.84....was as little as 70 today, so ive fallen significantly from the dizzy heights of my amazing day 1 ending on £335 from £50, but still early doors and ive still made a great profit, i think a primo victory is in order to calm the nerves....

    I read this from when it was posted but never put my challenge up which was to turn £100 into £300 playing only mtt and the odd dym but had major bad beats the end of last month so BR was only £50 on the 1st so im going to stick with my original target and hopefully turn £50 into £300.
    Its gone well for me so far as my BR currently stands at £208.92 so going well on the mtt tables and £5 DYM but im sure i can donk that lot off before the end of the month by trying to punch above my wieght like i usually do

    Up £200 today after dropping a bit past couple days. TBF I should be more up today but played a couple of hands a bit too loosely which cost me about £100.

    BR up to £1044.

    OK, I hadn't actually joined this at the start, but now I am having serious thoughts about turning pro. Since the 1st May I knew I had to sort my game out, I was trying to play dodgy hands to get lucky blah blah, basicly at the end of the day donking off money, I needed to get back to my old tight style of play. I had £600 in my bankroll at the time. I decided to play 4x 25p/50p cash tables.

    Straight away I got off to a winning start finding playing 4 tables kept me disciplined, it carried on over the whole of the bank holiday weekend giving myself a £400 profit by Wednesday getting my BR up to £1,000. I registered for a weeks worth of tournaments totaling £170. I havent cashed in any of yet ha ha (but i still have dan's deepstack and the primo on sunday) but with my cash games still paying out im back up to £940.

    I think if I can consistently win this amount and not play as many tournaments I am making enough to live off. I am going to keep detailed records of my win/losses until the end of August when the world amateur championships are and if I am 4 or 5k up by then by just playing evenings after work then I think playing fulltime is definatly an option.

    Its early days but it will all come out in the wash.

    Wish me luck!
