    Just finished - what an up and down night - had a day off yesterday but thought i,d try DYM,s as only being able to play one table can get get pretty boring on low stakes cash

    £5.50 DYM - 6 players finished 4th after losing an allin with AK then realising the bloke opposite had been sat out the whole game and would have been out soon - schoolboy error
    £11 DYM - won equalling £3.50 profit

    got fed up pretty quickly so back to low stakes cash - took a few hours but £49 profit = daily profit of £52

    starting BR - £27
    started today £144
    current BR  -   £196

    Right- finished tonight on £12.25. That's up from £2.15 on ONE 2p/4p table. Well happy with that. Next target- £25. Hope this inspires people not to give up on their challenges, no matter how desperate they're looking!

    Wow - character is what people show - or not - in adversity, when things go wrong, & it's uphill, with the wind & rain in their face.

    That is great stuff Rich, you have real backbone, & I'm incredibly proud of you.

    Keep calm, & keep it going. Everyone wants you to succeed.

    Started challenge at £109 although initial bankroll couple days before was £10-£15
    Got up to about £235 on cash, but have then lost to £50 few days after, Currently sitting at £95 roughly although should have been alot more after yesterdays bad beats! still for now will just try to use good BM and hope not too many bad beats, will then check in week or so to see how im getting on

    dunno whether to start MTT within the challenge as usually do better in them but could kill my bankroll at the same time

    Gutted I missed the start of the Orford Comeback Trail!
    I'll have to pick my table even more carefully now if you're staying on the 2p/4p tables for a while.
    Then again, I might get some good tips and advice from playing against you (or railing)!

    Had a good couple of sessions since Friday and hopefully I haven't just jinxed myself!
    Now up to £45.97 from £35 after a bad start.
    Continued good luck to all who are in the Challenge (unless I'm up against you!)

    good luck the rest of you

    Hard lines Greg - u shud be playing with a much bigger roll and a much higher level, and making much more money than you do!

    Remember a convo I had with you at a mastercash table before xmas, and you said you were gonna take cash seriously when u got a new computer.

    The sooner the better !!

    Ur right  - head must be right though! :)

    Whats happened to the table of updates, with ROI?? - loadsa lists/tables on these forums but that was by far the best one !!

    1/3 of the month gone, some impressive results so far! keep guin guys n gals :)

    PS - could you not persuade the smooth talking Mr Giddins to take part in this Rich or is he worried about the taxman seeing his bankroll

    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

    This is where I'm going wrong flush...my br is too small to take my swings...lol

    Had a dreadful, floppin awful weekend playing one eyed at the tables and lost £23.

    Been avoiding playing since then...Been railing the Mighty Knights this week, though I did win £2.00 towards the team coffers on event one i've been pant's since then!!! No patience this week, think there's a full moon coming or something...

    Decided to play in the forum sng and though I had exceleent fun I only cashed once in 3rd @£4.00 (+6 poker points ovb.) so pretty much broke even apart from the rakes on that!

    BR now £29.00

    Onwards and Upwards

    Approaching the halfway point of the month and I'm now only 88% down!

    Loving my life!

    Glad to see most players are making tidy profits.

    And as for those on a bit of a downer, keep the faith! :)

    OK- £4 down on a 2p/4p table whilst going over my script for tonight's show.

    Have finished the session with £2.34

    Overall bankroll now- £10.59

    Minor setback. Onwards and upwards...

    Another £150 added to the Clio BR.

    BR up to £1,703.

    Only £297 to go.

    Off to the York races for a boozy weekend though so won't be back on till Monday.

    I'll be very disappointed now if I don't hit the 2k mark before the end of May.
