    I can't quite decide on a challenge for myself this month.

    I was really into building my BR up last month, I've been at the 2.5-3.5k mark a few times and it's gone a bit stagnant as I almost become more interested in sustaining my BR rather than expanding.

    As it stands my BR is £2,483 and I'll set myself the target of getting to £3.5k by the end of the month.

    Obviously this an ROI of only say about 40% compared to the 1000% (ish) that I managed last month but I think this a fairly reasonable challenge to set myself.

    So 1 month to win 1k it is.

    I like it Phil, but isn't it quite hard to switch your mentality from an SNG to cash constantly?

    Ozzie08 and 35suited your moment under the Sky Poker spotlight commences this evening at 8:30 in PTP: The challenge.

    Remember to set the Sky Plus and tell your mum!

    Rich and Tikay will be presenting - so should be a lot of fun.

    Good luck with the rest of your challenge,

    Well huuummmme, no-one can accuse me of dishonesty! When you tell the whole site you've lost the lot within a few days of starting, then let's face it, you're not exactly dressing it up are you?

    Maybe I should learn to bit a little less honest!!!

    LOL ;)

    Lol- Gareth- don't shoot the messenger- I just read the info I've been given!

    Tikay and I were a bit gutted you only got 5 mins of airtime tbh, we'd got it in our heads that we were doing a one hour show and that was the reason Ozzie08 was on for 25 mins.

    For that reason the ending was a bit rushed- and I just about managed to blurt out '35 suited lost his £20' in time before the creditis rolled.

    So apologies for not making you look like a poker god this time but we all know you're a good player anyway. :)

    Nope.

    Only had about 2000 cash points last month.

    Thats what surprised me the most about my winnings last month I didn't actually get to play all that much but pretty much every 50nl table I played I doubled up on. Had a couple of spews but less than normal.

    I didn't have any spectacular sessions or anything just steady £70-£120 gains pretty much every session I played...

    Ok This is going to be a tough challenge, ive decided to start with £100 and play OMAHA.

    I shall be playing micro cash and stt. The reason it will be tough is im a complete novice at omaha, I have played a handfull of tounies in TKO and some low cash when it started on sky poker. I hope to complete the month, with out giving up so let the challenge begin.

    I shall try to double the £100 but if i make any profit ill be over the moon

    I'm up for the challenge.  My cash bankroll started at £42.76 so target is £80 on the heavy heights of the 4NL tables.

    1st June +£0.01
    2nd June +£1.01

    Current £43.78

    Not sure what is most likely going to affect my chances, poker skill or the world cup!!

    Well another challenge failed already lol

    After going bust last month, i turned cash from frerolls into £110, so target was £220.

    By the end of June 1st I was upto around £160 and thoguht id do it no problem.

    Yesterday wasnt to good tho, and after several bad beats or "variance" i started chasing the money as i always do and found myself on a £33 dym.  It was bubble time big chip leader and 3 of had about the same, player a pushes i look at kk so push and for soem reason the thrid player gets involved, if he had left us to battle one of us would have been down to 1/4 of a bb, but he went with a10, i hit a k on flop unfortunately there was a j and a q as well.

    This tilted me further so i registered for a £55 dym, needed to cash here and played scared poker, didnt make a raise all game untill the hand i went out trips v full house.

    I woke up today with £50 and just donked it off throughout the day ending in the £22 bounty hunter lost most of my chips when i had nut straigh ton the flop but he wasnt gonig to fold his 2 pair and hit full house on river.

    You'd think id learn by now, was going to say at least id stayed away from vegas but not true, when i was down to 16 i put it on red and doubled up.

    Oh well good luck to everyone else, ill see you at the tables tomorrow once ive reloaded :)
