p.s Walesboy a tip for playing with a low BR which I have started doing is once I lose 25 BB's to some sort of bad beat/outdraw I just have a break for an hour or so, log off the site and just do something else for an hour or two. I personally know if I reload straight away and keep playing I will be in an angry mood and it could get a whole lot worse, better leave early and come back refreshed.
Well, thanks to this little result: acebarry10 - £16.26 + £19.32 , my BR is at £136.93.
so started with 100 and have been yoyoing all over the shop,
320 tops and 78 bottom at this moment in time at 102 so actually
not that bad means i havent had to top up for a month!!!
One of my problems is the slot machines when on tilt, got felted
three times in about half hour each time flopping two pair and other
player also flopping better two pair. On NL 30.
So off to rainbow riches 230 down to 98 not the best idea really wish
i didnt go on tilt!! I could have taken the 140 and sat at a decent table
if i was willing to lose this much and had a chance of takin some decent
pots down. Or just carried on grinding at nl30 luck had to change.
does this count towards br challenge it was money in my poker account
and my gambling side takin over!!
If so i'm UP 2% get in this time next year i'll be a millionaire, and a better
return than those greedy bankers give ya!!!
thanks Matt
I try to but easier said than done!
just lost yesterdays winnings
did have a break part way through, but just one of those days. any decent hand i get is outdrawn.
at least i am still slightly up from starting br.
you still go in at 100bb even given the size of your br?
i've been going lower based on previous posts with respect to % of br you should stake
Big advice for the 4NL level is just raise with good hands, but enough so you isolate players and don't price in limpers and also bet big when you hit a good hand even if sometimes they fold, no point slow playing as most at this level are happy to check, check and check again.
I'll do that next time
Decided to have a change of pace as cash was just "bad" and do some DYMs
Cashed 3 on the trot! Yippeeeeeeeee.
Stopping now while I'm ahead!
I suppose the best way to look at it is, that at least I haven't LOST any money.
Anyway, I'm playing right now on the site and will be until midnight- currently on Table Kishinev 15p/30p- yes, yes I know it's beyond my bankroll, but it was the only TV table available to sit down at and the channel needs hands of mine to show on this programme they're recording tomorrow following my bankroll challenge!
No pressure then!
Btw- Keep it up everyone- it's been a great month for boosting bankrolls (ahem, for most people) and there's still the best part of a week to go!)
Am EXTREMELY late starting for a variety of reasons, however I put £100 in this morning and my current balance is £250.98
a healthy start, although I have been on here 14 hours, is that even over minimum wage lol,
good luck all
Chris
Went down to £16 last night but back up to £19.20 now after a good session. I'm gonna be playing the £1.15 table in no time. Can't wait for 15% rake.
i seem to have got my tourney form back cashed 5th in £75 gtd ( £6-48 ) & 2nd in £2-30 buy-in BH ( £23-00 ) both big fields played 3 hours cash the bit that i won paid for sats
so my Bankroll stands at £247-12
balance now
£271.98
Played well last night, got the dreaded KK v AA pre flop on 6 max cash a couple of times, which really nocked the profit back.
After a week of experimenting with 'ranges' Ive gon back to just putting people on a hand, and making decisions from what I think he actually has, rather than what he could have.....
£1,065 + £132.62 = £1.197.62
Im not sure how many days r in this month, or even what month it is ! - but...I have at least the 27th, and the 29th to catch Jaegerbomb, (cheating abit as he's only had half a month). As far as I'm aware, the other £100 starters haven't posted a figure anywhere near him, so this 1.5k is my target.
Gl all, enjoying the updates.
DOHH
(1270)
BR Start = £17.09
BR Now = £35.17
So I have doubled my opening roll but that's still only 8.8 BI's which is far from safe. Hopefully the good run continues.
Yesterday had £24. something played £5.50 £900 gtd, came first so got £262. something including stake
So now bankroll is £282.88, so gotta hang onto £32.88 for a week lol should be fun
BR went something like 800 - /> 1800 -> 500 ->1900 ->900 and now its at £2,021.
with 5 days left to play will be happy with anywhere in the region of £2.5 - £3k
i cashed in a tournament so i,ve had a winning day me BR stands at £226 so thats £94 down,i wont say how much i was down to, so im happy with todays outcome phew....
OPENING BALANCE = £24.65
CLOSING BALANCE = £0.00 (ZILCH...ZERO....NOWT....NOT A SAUSAGE!!!)
