Mini Bankroll challenge for the weekend

TommyD

Hey all

Haven't played regularly at Sky for a couple of years, but I got my freebie through the post today and got a £7 bonus to put into my empty account.  It was then I noticed the Primo is now on a Sunday, so I've set myself a little BR challenge for the weekend.  Turn that £7 into £133 in time to buy into the Primo and leave a ton behind.  Not great BR management but should be a bit of fun.

Anyone else come back to SkyPoker with this bonus fancy having a crack at this?

Currently I've spun it up to £31 so we're on the way hopefully.  This challenge is mostly fun but it's also making sure I keep away from the blackjack.

Hope to see you all in the Primo

How many hours can you play?  I think that the DYM tournies will be the best way to go if you can multi-table.  GL

Probably going to squeeze in 15-20 hours before Primo.  I have been using the DYM so far.  Playing one at a time for a bit so I don't zombie ABC until I've got plenty behind (£70-£80).  Going to continue £11 DYM for a bit

this is my problem with skybet, there should be a button where you can ban yourself from playing certain parts of the website, i know other websites do this and i for one just wish there was an option to ban yoursen from playing sky vegas games, the poker takes care of it self in my opinion!! it does make you laugh though when you hear other players going on about how they receive free chips and other stuff, but me have never received anything from vegas, just the other day i got a letter from sky with free chips written on it but didnt have my username on it, had somebody elses!!

Thanks for all of the encouragement guys.

Up to £40 now after a DYM win, but this did include AA v QQ & KK v QQ in my favour so it was a well timed card rack moment for me.

Do i sense a touch of doubt Webby? I too looked and hes not playing, would be nice to know if he blew his balance. If so he can always wait another year lol

lol no I haven't blown the BR just yet, took a few hours out to meet up with some friends, back on the tables now

TommyD

latest update:  won another £11 DYM but hit the buffers playing £2 heads up against a somewhat creative player.  Lost three on the spin so now on £42.70.  Think I'll stick to the DYM for a bit.

porkerman

good on ya tommy, the £2 turbochargers are ok for a bit of fun but players really unpredictable lol

TommyD

Porkerman, you're bang on.  Not going back there for a while.  Time to catch some sleep, latest BR £51.70.  See you on the morrow you lovely people.

porkerman

nice one keep up the good work mate

TommyD

After a couple morning hours I'm treading water on £52.  Took a couple of beats that's stopping me kicking on.  Going to squeeze in another DYM before the football.  Didn't realise how hard it was to multi table when you can't resize the windows so may have to avoid that for a while (I'm used to playing at least four at a time in another place but I tried three here and it was very tricky, might have to get used to it).

Come on you Spurs!!

paparon

hope you do it tommy

BANDICOOT

Hopefully a good result later for both you and the Mighty Spurs!
