    In Response to Re: You cant build an empire in a day, but maybe i can try : £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.

    Well.

    I've quickly worked out that anything under 5/10 nl is a call fest. I fired 3 beautiful and meaningful bullets today. Ivey would have buckled, but not my oppoments. That's not their fault, that's my fault. I should have known. I will next time. I'll beat this game, I will.

    In Response to Re: You cant build an empire in a day, but maybe i can try : 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.

    i stepped down to the micro cash games last night and found it a bit easier. i also noticed 3 players playing at these stakes who are ( in my opinion ) good players and who ive seen playing for a lot more in the past , which says to me that there is money to be made there

    In Response to You cant build an empire in a day, but maybe i can try:
    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.

    The very best of luck with your personal BR challenge hun xxx

    Bankroll Update

    after yesterday and a few misplaced bets i was hovering about £90 when i decided i wanted to be on the telle. I sat down doubled up (£20) first hand, the table died and i stood for the half hour before re-joining with £20 again. I was down to £10 and reloaded to £20 again before going on a run. Finnihsing wiht £126 and some pennies.

    Current Balance: £193.00

    Its the weekend backroll is pointless, im entering the primo for fun tonight, which leaves me £160.

    Right back to where i started, only one decent result from £200 (target) and the week grind comming up its all good.

    thanks man, second try at this bad boy, aim is to do better than last time, reach the hour with more than 196 chips because of a 2 outer binkage. Then after that to win it :D

    Sticking to my game none of this nonsense i done in MTTs recently, i either have it or i dont and if i have it then im going for it.

    because of work i didnt get time to qualify so ive bought direct in and i cashed in a £5.50 DYM so BR sitting at £164.50. Not perfect but im better off by £2.29 than i was before this thread started, plus the money i withdrew :).

    Not much you can do when your opponent is willing to race on the first blind level.

    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
