    In Response to Re: ROLL UP, ROLL UP FOR ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE! :  31 heads up @ 5 each hope 2 win 80% of them . some1 else do the math plz lol.....      
    Posted by MICKYBLUE
    Assumed

    31 * £5.25 buy in HU = £162.75

    Cashing in 80% means

    31 * £5 / 100 * 80 * 2 = £248 I think

    which makes 52% ROI/ROB

    Great start mate.

    And they're open...

    1st game £3.30 Omaha DYM

    Result: Cash

    BR: £12.70

    Took a bit of a gamble starting with a £3.30 as I mostly play £2.25 and the buy in is 33% of my BR, but there was a game sitting with 4 already in so went for it.

    Waiting for a £2.25 to start, then bed...probably.
  • edited May 2010
    It may be May technically but im still counting tonight on cash as Friday night until I log off and when I log back on the challenge begins - otherwise I wouldn't like to kow where I stand in the challenge considering I have more than my initial BR challenge on the tables :O Gl to everyone tommorrow :)

    33% of your br? Lol - risky stuff Darntootin, but it's paid off this time. Well done. Maybe think about reducing the percentage at stake though on one game- or else it could be a short challenge!

    Well lost my 2nd £2.25 dym was actualy first person out :( the blinds were 150/300 I expected at these levels for the game to be over before it even reached this level.  Had j9 in bb flop was 9 4 2  of us in pot he went all in, i know he didnt hit because he was gonig all in after every flop and showing air, so i called think it was a6 he ahd and hit the ace on the river.  Down to £19.50 need to go and get some electric before i play nxt game

    Nice one Machka - an interesting list !!!

    I love Bryan Oyrans R.O,I column. lol

    ok 2pm start for me, that table will b very interesting to follow over the next few weeks..... 

    GL all
  • edited May 2010
    Morning all .... do I detect a hint of extra excitement about the place today?

    A note for Machka's truly excellent piece of engineering ..... I've arrived at the starting line with precisely £38.87 .....so I guess technically I'm hoping by some fluke, freeroll or fortune to turn that into £77.74!

    Very best of luck to one and all.......but its all a bit too exhausting for me.... I'm off to Buxton for a few days break..... I think I saw "wi-fi in rooms" on the hotel's web site...
