     £205.16 + £146 = £351

    Thought I played really well today, barring 2 hands when I couldnt fold over-pairs ...ran into 2 sets.....But generally....really pleased, and back in the right direction after a week of going nowhere!

    Not been able to play much since Wednesday and it's not been going well...

    14 x £2.25 DYM (8/14) = +50p

    1 x £3.30 DYM (0/1) = -£3.30

    1 cash session = +3p

    BR now £22.58

    Very poor, very poor indeed!

    Had a bad day today started off on cash only down about £7 but got fed up i dont think i know how to play cash lol. Played primo semi busted out of that when got it in dominating so that made me more fed up lol. Anyway sat'd in to £1500 BH but never got going, played velocity went out early with AK v QQ. Only time i've done owt was a £125 gtd and bubbled in that in 4th, i think i made a couple of mistakes near end that cost me.
    Overall cant be bothered with poker at min but hopefully i'll rediscover the joys of it soon lol. Gonna play low stake MTTs now so thats all 3 kinds of poker i've tried since this challenge started 9 days ago lol.

    Anyway BR is £129.25

    very up and down day for me today. Had a mare on cash this morining leaving £200 down (my 1st losing cash session this month) but then turned my massive $3 bankroll on full tilt into $140 through rush poker sit n go's (played 3 cashed all 3 and final tabled 2 out of 135 runners)
    Then just finished 2nd in the dantb10 deepstack for just under £500. so overall on sky today my bankroll went up about £300ish, now stands at 1429.

    Very slow progress over the weekend.  £12.53.  Crucially I am now rolled for 60p DYMs, but one loss and that's gone.

    Had a terrible time of it today and last night, trying to play a few DYM and getting the worst players at the low stakes tables going all in with any 2 cards and beating any premium hands, like pocket As beat by Q3 off and AQ beat by 92off after they go all in pre flop and such like. I cant play like this and starting with £5 im now down to 59p just seems pointless with players at this level. I managed to get down to 13th place in the League stars and called an all in when the big blinds were around 6k i had 50k chips they had 20k i had KQ they had pocket 4s flop came and i hit the K then on the river another 4 so out on bubble, should of just folded. Sums up my luck at the moment so Gonna play 1 last 55p sit n go and see if i win it if not my bankroll challenge is over. Will concentrate on the Team thing that starts tomoroz see if i do anygood in that. :(

    just finished - tough night on low stakes cash, not helped by only being able to play one table  (borrowed computer - its to slow to handle more - thought my comp was bad only playing 2).
    Spent most of night 20-30 down , but managed a £16 profit in the end with 1 nice pot.
    starting bankroll - £27
    started day with -£128
    current              -£144   

    don,t have a target but this challenge has given me more incentive just to make a proifit each day even if its only 2 quid like my first day

    Played last night, normally a bad idea to play Sundays through the night, as it becomes shark city.

    What a horrid start I had, lost the 9pm 1k gtd, and both velocities, left me -£16.50, i really really hate tournys atm.....look at my sharkscope graph guys its just a straight line downwards!!!!

    Played sky bingo - used to do this all the time, the deal or no deal thing, no luck :(

    Played cash, and got totally Owned by Boonicon on several occasions, it just doesnt make sense for me to play on his table OOP against him, its something I wont be doing anymore.

    Doubled everyone on the table up, apart from Dylan.....He runs too bad to double off anyone, even me.

    so - £150 by midnight - managed to dig in and get it back, and abit more

    £351 + £30.30 (+£2.40 bingo losses) = £381.30

    OK I have a bit of a genuine question :O

    I only started playing in January after watching poker on telly and then being told by a friend to come and play some.


    My bankroll was a modest £25 and now thanks to a 4am tilted bet on Lyoto Macheda on skybet my balance is £0.00.  



    So now I am thiking to never use this account for skybet ever again and wondered what kind of bankroll I should be using.  Ideally I want to be playing on the 4p 8p cash tables.

    well 4p/8p max sit down is £8 (unless ur on the special £10 sitdown table). Eeveryone says different on the amount of pullups you have. I think it all depends on your style, if you are tight and dont fish much then 15 buyins is probably enough, if you are very aggro, and are regually going all in on draws and bluffs etc then I would advise to have about 30-40 pullups as the swings are much greater. It also depends on how many tables you are playing as you obviously have a much larger amount of money on the tables at once
