Not posted for a while as I have not played as much as hoped due to the world cup. No chance of hitting my target now...
Current £55.49
I'm under the alias of 'ricorford' if anyone fancies stopping by.
Little worried about the 'rebuy' aspect though- my Spidey sense is telling me that this could be the undoing of my June challenge!
Yes, THIRD!!!!
Out of 73 runners!
OK, so we'll gloss over the fact that I re-bought twice and added-on for the princely total of £22. I still managed to take down £66.60!
So- from £82.70 I'm now up to £127.30, which is the first time since I started my series of challenges back in May that I've actually been in profit. LOL!...(or should that be CRY?)
Either way- 27.3% ROI and 10 days left. GAME ON!
Well done Rich.
Amazingly still in the green...a really harsh weekend saw my BR fall to £64.14 from £76.00 but still significantly up on my appaling £20.00 from last month!!!
Next target £100
Well done Rich...onwards and upwards!!!

Current - £42.16, haven't been putting nearly as much time in as I should be any profit is welcomed.
£30 up on the month, but short of the target of £83
was there for overnight, but since then have lost every race or been out flopped,etc.
AAv66, KKvJ9, etc. Lost £12 in 2 days of playing.
Can't catch a cold, so stopping now until end of month to get my head together.
Not sure if people are getting looser (if that is possible on 2p/4p!!) or I'm not playing well.
Still has been fun, especially talking to those who know you are in the challenge or who are also doing it.
Great atmosphere.
Good luck to everyone.
Hope you keep in profit Rich. Don't get carried away!
To misquote a Dexy's MIdnight Runners' track:
Come on Irene!
I believe he is holding crisis talks with his media advisers as to how to approach this problem as we speak...
Dude, a profit is a profit is a profit.
Simple as.
Well done mate.
Thanks for your comments Walesboy and I will try not to get carried away.
I'm guessing this post is going to look pretty stupid if you scroll down to the bottom of the page when I'm posting about my disastrous session on the £1/£2 tables in two days' time!
I have probably cheated. Whilst I started the month with £100, I topped it up with another £100, went down to £9, but currently stand at £91.50, something of a recovery after cashing in 8 successive DYMs. I also won a Swansea SPT seat worth £110 (cost £94), so I could argue that I am £1.50 ahead. Whatever, I will need to continue my current roll to get anywhere near the target of +£100.
Current - £45.36
Had awful session yesturday getting a bit into profit then burned it off, ended up only 60p down but one of those frustrating ones. Much prefer the raise with KK get shoved on and snap off.
Day 23 of the challenge- I'm 27% up but need that to be 100% ideally by June 30th.
Tonight I'm going to play some cash on the 2p/4p tables fom 7pm until the Rich Pickings tournament at 8.30pm which is a fast-paced cheap rebuy tourney named in my honour. Cheap and fast, what can they driving at?
But based on my last result, I think this will be a good one for me.
After that- I will either retreat to the cash tables, go on a little series of DYMs or, depending on how early I go out the 8.30, enter another MTT.
Please come and rail/play. I'll be playing under my personal bankroll alias of 'ricorford'.
Right- I've started early today!
I'm playing £5 DYMs right now till Rich Pickings at 8.30.
Tonight's starting roll- £127.30
Target £150
Do drop by!
alias- ricorford
Out the Rich Pickings tourney- 13th out of 62. 8 get paid.
Close but no cigar. Bought one re-buy and an add-on.
So all told still up on the whole night so far.
Bankroll currently- £134.70 (from £127.30 at the start of play)
More DYMS now!
cmon.......
youuuu cannot be serrrriarseeee!!!
Now on my 5th.
All told on £139.70 (from £127.30)
And that's me for the night.
All together since 6pm this evening- played 5 DYMs and cashed in all 5!
Then came 13th out of 62 in the Rich Pickings MTT.
Starting bankroll this evening- £127.30
Target for the evening- £150
Finishing bankroll for the evening- £149.70!
30p short but I ran out of time- I'm still in the Sky Poker office and have to head back home at some stage!
But overall- well happy with my June challenge now. One week left and I'm 50% up!
Feel a bit like the England team- terrible start, now starting to get into gear
Until next time then- good luck everyone with your bankrolls over the next 7 days!!!
After the win for England last night I ended up getting wined and pokered up...wiiiiiiii you would think but oh no, that would be too easy!
I found my myself in the TOT & Rich Pickings whilst baraging 2 of the 10/20 tables...the result of course was that I went busto....I knew I shouldn't have played with a cold...ffs!!!!
I will be reloading tomorrow so by Sunday's match against the Germans I'll probably have to reload on Monday too ;o)
Well done to everyone last night...NOW GIVE ME MY CHIPS BACK!!!!

Ha! Just updated my bankroll spreadset and realised I've fudged my figures. I didn't finish the other night with £149.70- I finished with £143.20.
Oh well, still in good shape and playing right now on the £5.50 DYMS.
I'm not going to let that absymal England exit affect me...
...much.
Onwards and upwards!
Two out of two for DYMs so far tonight- my current winning streak is 7- my all-time record is 13.
Bankroll now £152.20.
Game on!
