    Have about £2.50 of the £10 I started with 4 months ago - be good to double up twice to get back to a tenner - last of the big rollers. Although can't see me playing too much when the footies on.

    Bad day.  £29.88.  Sigh.

    Edit:- I would like to ammend my end balance.  £1.10 has materialised from somewhere since I went to bed.  End balance £30.98.  And all from a low of 40p.

    Oh well, br ends up at £41.54
    All that play and not much to show for it.
    At least I'm up (a bit).
    Never had such an up and down month.
    Probably played too much trying to do the challenge.

    Thanks for the challenge Rich - learnt a few things which hopefully I can put into practice so that I can eventually move up levels.

    I'll join in with the June challenge as it is essentially the same thing, but I won't bust a gut this time.

    Had fun though, which is mostly why I play although I'd like to improve!

    Very well done to all who beat their targets and commiserations to those who didn't.

    Final figure from my starting roll of £100 - £834

    Fell short of my £1000 target but considering I didnt start till the 25th i'll take it!

    I have £107 currently in my account willing to try and double that up (withdrew a little to clear depts so thats why my sharkscope will suggest i have more) Rekon i could do it in a couple of big MTT the main problem is keeping the loses from failing to cash in other MTT in tack so will use s&g's to try and keep that to a minimum.

    So my target for 30 days of poker is £214.

    On a quick question, am i allowed to withdraw money during this challenge. Say for example i make a couple of loses go down to £89 and then win a MTT taking me to £189 i would usually withdraw £80 (trying to clear overdraft) would that £80 still count.

    May Challenge ended on a rather feeble up and down note

    Start - £38.87     end   £72.00       +    £33.13


    Still that provides a neater starting figure for June - looking to turn it into the giddy heights of £144.00

    Could be crash or burn time.

    In Response to Re: ROLL UP, ROLL UP FOR ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE!:
    Ill have a go with £100, no specific targets, the only aim is to have a higher ROI than any other player on this thread who's starting with £100 or less! :)
    Posted by DOHHHHHHH


    Well, after falling asleep watching the afternoon screening of Jeremy Kyle yesterday, I failed to muster that one last effort I needed to overtake Jaegerbomb, the weekend took alot out of me. 

    So a starting roll of £100, has ended up at   £1474.81  , giving me an R.O.I of.....well I dunno I'll leave that for Machka.

    As for next months challenge, I'm just gonna try and do better than this month.....so £1474.81, doubled, lets say 3k.

    This is realllllllly optimistic, Ive played more this month than ever before (just under 5k points), highest before was 3k....

    If it aint broke, y change it? (did start to break this weekend though) :(

    Good luck in June all.

     start 50

     up 171

     br stands @  221

    more or less all games were s&g forum £2 / 10 seaters and

    cash nlh 4 .

     so my 1st month moving from omaha dym has proved to be successful.

     now the tough part ,

     i am bringing my 221 up to nl8 keeping with my strict br management .

     if my br falls below 150 i drop back down to nlh 4.

     my challenge is to turn in 100 o/o profit  by end of month .

    Starting Bankroll £50
    Current Bankroll £93.87
    Finished with £43.87

    Managed to get over £110 but started to leak some cash and haven't played as much towards the end of May.  Well done all and especially to Machka for his table updates (surely worth a spot in the Forum Deepstack??)

    Hey Richard Orford....weve been messing around in the 'shed' with anagrams and i just looked up your name which may explain the probs you were having! You can now take no responsibility for what has previously happened as it was 'fate'!

    Great tables Machka- cheers Aaron.

    Love the anagram BananaDog!

    I'll be reading that out on The Club which I'm recording later this afternoon, as well as showing Machka's table and talking about the bankroll challenge thread in general.
    The show goes out at 8pm this coming Monday (7th).

    As for tonight- I'm doing Play The Presenter from 7pm and starting my June bankroll challenge.

    So- I've got £100. What would you guys do?
    I will probably play two tables at once- so should I just bite the bullet and sit at 2 x 2p/4p tables with £4 on each one?

    Appreciate your thoughts on this...My poker's ok, my br management however, is shocking...

    My BR is now at £1,487. My cash games have contined to work well, but very rarely for me I have recorded a loss in MTTs. I made £1200 on cash last month playing 25/50 so I must be down 300 on MTTs, I think alot of this was to do with Sunday nights where I was playing £200 worth of tournies and im on a flat patch at the moment and not cashing much.

    My aim for June is to get to 2k and then im going to pay myself a weekly wage. From that I will play more live tours and hopefully get that big win we are all chasing.
