    Won the eighth but then disaster in the ninth: my all-in Queens got beat by AK when a K landed on the river.

    So- my consecutive cashes finishes on 8 for the night and 11 overall.

    It also means I've cashed in 20 of the last 24 I've played. Not bad! :)

    BR currently: £184.30.

    I'm not going to make £200 by midnight but it's been one hell of a ride!

    And the challenge is over!

    I finished the night with a cash in a £5.50 DYM so ended on a high note.

    My overall bankroll for June from a starting point of £100 then is....


    £183.30!

    An ROI of 83.3%

    Well happy with that! Particularly when you consider how badly my MAY challenge went! Bankrupt in 4 days!!!

    Lessons I've learned- don't run before you can walk with your buy-ins. As tempting as it's been to step up a level on the DYMs to hit my target I stayed at the five quid ones. When I do eventually hit £200 I will step up to the £10 ones. But only then.

    As for the winner of all the SKy Poker goodies- it's hats off to

    Derk2827 who predicted £178.69

    Well done mate.

    And thanks to all of you who've supported me in this bankroll challenge and joined in with your own ones as well.

    Look out in July for some one-off one-night only money challenges! ;)

    Congratulations Rich, imagine what you could be on if you'd started the month just playing 5 quid DYMs!

    I ended the month on £189.92, so not a complete disaster.

    Yeah well done mate. You should receive a PM from Sky-Claire in due course arranging delivery. You might have to wait  a little longer than usual though because she's just jetted off this morning to Las Vegas with Team Sky Poker!

    Let me know if you don't hear within a couple of weeks.

    Hi Andy- cheers mate. Yes, infinitely better for May. For July though I'm not going to run a month-long comp- I'm going to organise a few one-night only challenges.

    I might have a DYM-athon for example. Who can cash in the most- (at whatever level people feel comfortable playing at) between 7pm and midnight one night with the best record winning some goodies. 

    More details...when I think of them! LOL

    Well done Ric.  Didn't realise all this was being televised until I saw some of your show a few days ago and noticed my name at the bottom of the list. 
    For the record I started the month with £100, added £100 and finished with £97.01 plus a seat in SPT Swansea worth £110.  To me that is +£7.01, you might see it differently

    Well done Rich, those DYM runs are pretty impressive.

    I Started at £42.76,
     
    Target was £80, 4NL tables.

    Final £60.72

    ROI = 42%  I will take that, lost a lot of time watching the exciting, dynamic england team!!!

    No mate- I see it as a £7.01 profit! We'd both make good spin doctors!

    Lol Irene- pardon my showing off, but seriously did you read my posts in May??? No-one could accuse me of hiding away from the truth then!

    'An epic fail of biblical proportions' would be a fair description of all my poker endeavours until this month!

    Unlucky to you this month though- better luck next time! x
