    End of day one ( about 4 hours later ) and about 6 or 7 percent up  (it sounds better than £1.79 up)

    Havnt put any details to this challenge yet as had to wait until the 5th may for my £5 bonus but have done a chart to show where i have been winning and losing. I am down to £4.12 from £5 but mainly because i had 4 games where the hands were face down or i lost connection after being chip leader and had it in the bag grrrrrrrrrrrr. Anyways am gonna stick with this charting of my progress as not done this before and is good to see where im winning and losing the most. My biggest mistake was to play the £1.10 sit n goes as this was above my BR management that i said i would do.

    so im down 88p

    up to £56

    had a big change when I played a game of 2/4p with my cards covered a few days ago and got back to playing good poker

    Okay I played yesterday from 1pm till 5 minutes to midnight, and won a total of 4 pounds and 16 pennies.


    201 + 4.16 = Current roll of £205.16

    Not had much of a chance to play too much today.

    Had a session this morning where I turned a -£100 start to a small profit, and an hour this evening and it's a +£90 day today so BR up to £1,130.

    Just £870 to go now to reach the 2k target.

    You're right m8, i feel a bit better now but nothing in the rules as you said before to stop you reloading and starting again. Although this time it might be an idea to remember patience is a virtue.Good luck for the rest of the month.

    Unless Mr. Orford edited it after your post, I think you'll find that if you click on the word "here" in his post that it will magically transport you to his blog.

    great day for me thus far, after finishing day 1 on 335 from 50, i slowly kept losing money, had 150 this morning, but due to some nice cash pots on 0.50/1 (and the help of quad 9s vs aces) im upto £336.16, so ive made all of £1 since day 1 :) yipeee, need to start winning again, but still, well on my way to my £500 target. :)
