    Your winning streak was that time you ran across the pitch during the England v Australia 20-20 match, mind you that cart wheel was going a bit too far.

    How about a little stunt at Wimbledon this year, perhaps a fosbury flop over the centre net whilst shouting New Balls at the top of your voice?

    9 for 9!

    Going for the double figure as we speak!

    Forget your Isner/Mahut 11 hour marathon record-breaker at Wimbledon this week...I'm not going to bed until I've smashed the all-time Sky Poker DYM win streak- which I'm relaibly informed is 23!!!!

    Put the coffee on, I'm here all night! ;)
  • edited June 2010
    And it's over!

    My Jacks ran into Aces!

    A 9 game DYM cashing streak has come to an end.

    Bankroll up to £155.70.

    £44.30 to get to my target.

    Right- more DYMS!

    Day 28...

    Arrgh! Running out of time!
    Bankroll currently £147

    Still need £53 and I've got 3 nights to do it in!

    DYMs seem to be my best bet at the moment as I've cashed in 10 out of the last 13.

    So that's where I am right now if anyone wants to come say hello. :)

    Alias- ricorford

    Lol- you have no idea how tempting that is, Gareth.

    Stop luring me over to the Dark Side of bankroll mis-management!

    No, I'm sticking with my £5 DYMs.

    2 out of 2 tonight. Currently going for the hat-trick before retiring for the evening.

    Current bankroll- £151.50

    Will either be £146 or £156 by close of play tonight...

  • edited June 2010
    Woohoo! 3 for 3. And 12 out of 15 in total now.

    Br- £156.

    Final crack at it - Wednesday night. See you there!

    just saw the challenge on sky tv ..... will give this a go .....only got £3.28..... i know the challenge is double up but my target is £32.80 Andy Bee
    Posted by ANDYBEE

    Well after playing to many DYMs and getting no profit just tredding water ..... enter a free roll finishing 7th

    moved from starting point

    £3,28  to £9.80

    ROI 298% .... and about the same for sky in rake ..... i think ill hold at this point befor i muck up

    target was £32.80  but i hope you run a july one and ill try that

    i know an ROI of 298 % is good but if you start low its easy .... so im not realy counting that but if i can do the same in july that will give a target of about £30 so lets see if you run it next month

    br now £76.04 from £41.54 so overall great, but could have been well into £80s if hadn't tilted a bit after the 2p/4p "creative" play.
    think I'll stop here, as I'm getting beaten by air at the moment.
    AJ suited beaten by 36 this morning after going all in after flop (£2) after flopping pair of aces. they had pair of 3s after flop and got fh!

    hope everyone goes well on the last day and a bit of the month. don't try to push it as I did as you could come a cropper.

    "I've got a feeling...

    That tonight's gonna be a good night...

    That toniiiight's gonna be a good night...

    That toniiiiight's gonna be a good, good niii-iiight!"

    ...so said the Black Eyed Peas. and nothing could be more pertinent to the final day of my June bankroll challenge.

    Yes- ths evening from 7 I willl be attempting the seemingly impossible: To take my £156 to £200 using a combo of DYMs, MTTs and cash.

    I'm playing the Rich Pickings MTT at 8.30 and possibly the Take On Tikay as well.

    Look out later at 10 or 11pm as things get desperate and I start to blow my bankroll discipline to hit the target. (30 quid DYMs anyone???) Yes, it will be the equivalent of sending David James up the pitch for a corner...and we all know what happened there, don't we..?

    Hi Derk,

    Having consulted the powers that be, the decision is we're going to rest the bankroll challenge for July and instead do a few 'one night only' challenges whenever I do a Play The Presenter night.

    I'll be keeping this thread updated though as to the state of my own bankroll and I oviously would love everyone else to keep contributng towards it and telling us all where your own bankroll stands.

    Also, if anyone wants to set themselves a challenge so we can follow their progress then by all means stick it on here anyway!


    More details to follow on these 'one night only challeneges". Might call them 'one night stands'. There's a thought...

    Lol.

    Yes, unfortunate sentence construction from me there.

    Having said that, I figure everyone knows what I meant for the simple reason that in 10 years of playing poker NOBODY has contributed to my bankroll :(

    PS- I see you're down to be the analyst on Saturday night's show. Good luck and don't forget to bring a decent shirt this time! ;)  Oh, and no blaming wardrobe if your next choice gets flamed on the forum!!!!

    Dave is going to be analyst on Saturday?
    That's excellent news. I, and many others, was really impressed when Dave last filled the role.
    Will penguin be making an appearance?
  • edited June 2010
    Yeah, he's a really good analyst is Dave- no disagreements from this end...

    COMPETITION!

    OK- since it's the last night of my June bankroll challenge, let's have a bit of fun with it and throw some little Sky Poker goodies into the mix.

    So...I have £156 going into tonight's session at approximately 7pm.

    I will finish around midnight, or perhaps just before depending on when my last tourney ends.

    My question is- how much will my bankroll be at the close of play tonight?

    Nearest answer wins a bunch of Sky Poker branded merchandise- a stressball, couple of keyrings, couple of beermats and loads of pens.

    In the event of a tie, the first person to have posted will win.

    Post your guesses on this thread and the very best of luck!

    If I have to seriously roll the dice at 11.30 to hit my target, your guess could be close than you think Alan...
