You cant build an empire in a day, but maybe i can try

edited September 2010 in Poker Chat
Ok after a disasterous night losing 50% of my BR by being an idiot i decided to withdraw another half of that leaving me with £39 to play with, i was actually already registered with a DYM and BH MTT when i made the withdrawl, ive already cashed in the DYM and playing the BH as i type.

So BR currently stands at £49.12.

My plan is if i can return to NL4 and play the game i was playing maybe i can realise the errors i made last night, and work on my tilting, without risking loads of money.

Also hope to make £200 by the end of September, off only NL4, without going up a level. I will venture into DYM;s and MTTs at times, my passion for these will not die, but BR management is the key, ill let you guys know how i get on.

    Thats strange.....the funny thing is ...i thought that if i DO complete a set....i would contact various poker sites and casino's...and see if they wanted to purchase a set! ...WHY ,,....to offer them as a prize...or added prize with some cash!
    As ive explained...the damm chips are expensive ...time consuming...and difficult to make!
    ALSO ..i thought...if the winner of this set of gold chips wanted to sell...them for a percentage of their cash value...i would be there and by them back off the winner in a heartbeat!

    One casino in las vegas i contacted....were keen ...on the idear ...but in order to reduce the price....which currenty stands at about £100 per chip...and thats 9ct gold....I need to purchace a small CNC machine! This is just under 5 grand.....i can by one of course ...but its my wife here thats the stumbling block!
    She thinks its futile....and no one will want to by them ...i dissagree....their are a lot of wealthy folk out there that would like to own a set of gold chips!.....I would, but i also cannot afford my own work!...

    Lifes is odd sometimes ...eh!

    Good Luck Don, you have done it once so why not again

    Depends Starting Bankroll £39.12, but if you talking about before he started tilting i'll go for £220

    chin up mate, i'm sure you'll do it.
    Funny how mistakes you thought you'd got rid of creep back in.
    Happened to me today, just couldn't read the signals. Lost 2 buyins. Thought I better stop there!
    It happens.

    I reckon your roll was £156

    Good luck.

    Two votes at £156 first vote was dueceslive, so if this was the correct answer it would go to him

    I can confirm it isnt far off but incorrect.

    Do you guys wish to know.


    Also update on my BR challenge.

    I made one of the greatest recoverys ive ever made in that bounty hunter the score board read. 12th out of 12th, 11th out of 11, etc till 5 out of 6. Results below.

    The_Don90860001£17.20 + £11.72 Head Prizes + 10 League Points6kash280902£10.75 + £2.11 Head Prizes + 8 League Points2SAFERICH_03£6.45 + £4.50 Head Prizes + 6 League Points5
    hifi04£4.73 + £6.65 Head Prizes + 4 League Points7chomp105£3.87 + 2 League Points0mickstar2806 0


    This was a pure game of keeping patience, i was so tempted to shove far earlier than i did, with it being a bounty hunter i knew id get called, then i went on a mad rush.
    Bankroll now stands at: £78.04

    £162.12 was what i started with last night, With that bounty hunter result ive effectivley won what i withdrew, which defeats the purpose of my challenge really of building up on NL4 but id already entered this and i did state i want to do MTT's on the side.

    Im also a little wary of NL4 now, since my study of it went up on the clinic ive found it a little harder to play my game there.

    in that case you didn't lose half your bankroll and then withdraw a further half, that would have left you with 40 pounds and 53 pence, not 39 pounds!!! Stop misleading us with false information!!!

    More accurate would have been saying you lost 49.05% of your bankroll, followed by withdrawing a further 49.05%. Then we're only missing a couple of pence rather than an entire 1 pound 53 />.< sort it out please.

    Why?
    Doesn't anyone believe your raises now?
    You still get the numpties. Lost against aces today after the pre was checked to me in the BB. Top pair, good kicker,raised large, got reraised and shoved! Oooops!

    Perhaps you need to mix it up?

    That 1.53 would likley be rake from entering 2 £5.50 dyms and a £2.30 Bounty hunter perhaps?

    no that still dnt add up, hmmm i dont know.

    I see the 53p fiasco is back :)

    Seriously though Don, no harm in stepping back a level or two if that's what you need. I've done it myself & I feel it's gradually making me a better player for it. Good luck though mate.
