    Hi Ian,  Am ok thanks m8, i just needed a bit more time away i was getting a bit stale & making some bad calls :-( .But the footballs finished now we are out so its back to the poker. Spent last night hitting the refresh button & watching Tikays amazing progress in the WSOP.  Hope you are soon back on track m8 & you go back to getting the results you deserve.  Chat soon buddy. Take care & good luck Dev

    DAY  58

    lost £9.50

    b/roll £161.41 (+£120.70)

    c4p   196
    total  4050 = £64.80 to come

    played £5 games for the 2nd night running.
    stopped early as i don,t want to push my luck.   lol
    nice to reach 4000 c4p for the 1st time...
    just hoping i can keep b/roll around the £150 mark & will then feel a little more comfortable when c4p arrive.

    happy playing at this level even though i know i am ideally well under bankrolled for it.
    still,feel i am making progress with my game & know there is still room for improvement.
    i will stay at £5 level and only drop down levels if my b/roll drop's below £100.

    back tomorrow,
    :)

    hi m8,
    thanks for the nice comments.
    yes,it,s taken a while but i deffo think i am at last playing the correct level 4 me & also got the number of tables under control too.
    going to treat myself to a day off from playing today,as it,s the football final tonight.
    going 2b interesting to see just how many c4p i can rack up this month but my main priority is to obviously try and get as many winning sessions in as possible.
    still a long way to go but as long as i run ok i,m now confident this mission has every chance of being successful.
    i like your guess of £450 for b/roll nxt month,sounds good to me.
    best wishes & run well yourself.
    :)

    Hi Devon,

    New to the SkyPoker Forums/Blogs, not so new to the tables but for some reason I have always been ignorant to the forums... that WILL change I promise myself!!

    I am figuring out a similar challenge myself with a £50 BR, my bankroll management and patience must improve first though, so for now I will follow your challenge with great interest.

    Best of luck at the tables Devon and I hope you continue to run well!!

    hi Aaron,
    thanks m8.
    yes,b/roll management is certainly v important as without it doesn,t matter how good u r ,almost certain 2 go bust.
    patience too is something that u can learn so no worries 4u there.
    hope you manage 2 build up your b/roll too.
    funny enough i started off with just £50,now am up just over £1000 atm.will be £1800 up once i complete this mission.
    best wishes m8,

    DAY  62

    lost £6.00

    b/roll £192.11 (+£151.40) +£72.85 c4p to come

    c4p 160

    played ok,lost 5 of last 6 games,disappointing but no damage done.
    shortish session,
    not really in the mood tonight.
    also,games that i,d paid 2 play in were not loading up 2 play,kept saying there was an error & i should phone customer services.
    then table would try loading again.this was happening quite alot i must say,buy tbf all games did eventually load up and i managed 2 play them all.
    this is the 1st time this has happened 2 me & let,s hope the last.
    i also gather that plenty of other players also were having problems tonight, so the problem is clearly with sky.
    let,s hope that this is only going 2b 4 1 night only.

    back tomorrow
    :)

    hi Leeboy,
    thanks m8.
    glad u enjoyed it.
    funny enough i read through it from beggining on sunday,as i wasn,t playing that day,and it did take as u say about an hour,surprising just how much there is to read.
    as i am playing £5 games atm,i,m sure that there will be plenty to write about over the nxt month,so i,ll try and keep it going.it,s just a shame that i,m now not keeping track of no. of games won & lost due to the fact that i,m now playing so many tables & simply haven,t got the time to stop & write down my results as i have done during play up until i started playing £5,s anyway.
    also,i did find that i was in the end making the odd mistake doing this which meant that the totals didn,t always marry up,so it became quite a dificult job getting the totals correct,so perphaps i,m  glad in some ways that i am no longer keeping track of games played.
    i,m just wondering if anyone may know of another easier way that i could find out number of games played each day,also numbers won & lost?.
    i don,t have sharkscope btw,thanks.
    best wishes

    DAY  63

    raining....again,so no work.

    lost £19.70

    b/roll £172.41 (+£131.70)

    c4p   121
    total  281

    played bad so no complaints.
    lost connection with 12 tables running...
    so knew it wasn,t going 2b my morning.   lol
    anyway,managed to get 2 going  and fortunately won both,even though only £2 & £3 games,helped save session somewhat.
    spoke to cc & a nice man called Paul dealt with the lost connection problem.he phoned me back as he said he would within 10 mins,and he reimbursed me all buy-ins that i had just paid in.
    so thank you Paul & sky poker.
    got to expect some bigger swings as am now mainly playing £5 atm,but played a few lower this morning as playing so bad.
    back tonight & hopefully will play better.!!!
    best wishes anyway to everyone,even to all the players taking my money off me this morning.  lol
    you all know who you are.? lol

    keep it going m8 & with Fri's c4p  will be looking well healthy :-)
    just shows the volume you were playing, I was playing mostly £11 & only got £51 to come.
    The odd tourney win has helped tho & think I got the motivation back now so time for us both to push on upwards :-) 
     Have a good month m8

    DAY  63
    part 2....

    lost £54.50

    b/roll £117.91 (+£77.20)

    c4p   295
    total  576 = £4.61

    played ok
    ran as bad as usual atm.
    no complaints as i know it works both ways.
    will have to drop down a level tomorrow,me thinks.
    bit frustrating as all my hard work is slipping away from me atm.
    need c4p badly and some good run would be most welcome.
    whatever happens ,happens,i guess.
    just seems that everything is against me atm.
    but no worries as i know things can change around just as easily....lol
    just a joke all the hands i am losing to, tonight anyway.
    i,m down ....
    again.you,d think i,d be used to it by now,wouldn,t you?  lol
    always knew this mission would have it,s ups & downs as i,ve always said,but it does test you sometimes
    especially when it feels like you have done nothing wrong.
    anyway,
    tomorrow,s another day & nobody,s died,so will be back for some more punishment.  lol
    think i,ll make a cup of tea & dunk some chocolate biscuits in....
    might help a bit i suppose.  lol
    night all,
    hope u had a good night...
    i had 1 once.  lol

    Time to be positive Ian, 

    Choose which level you do best at for the volume of games you play. If I was you I would be playing on the £2/£3 You know you are playing ok & its just a case of ironing out the varience. Play the volume you are, the results will come back with the confidence.You are good enough to beat this m8.
    Take care & run good Dev

    Hi Dev
    Great posts shame its going the wrong way at the moment, best of luck.
    You always do what i did, move house lol.
    Since i moved in April after not really getting anywhere on the tables i put £100 in my account and thought i would only play £10 and £5 mtts and its seemed to work. Now in profit:) 4th April was -£1400ish now after just playing sensible poker, lol +£240.
    Good luck Jon
    Volume 550 mtts.

    play £2/£3 level

    if you play £5 level, lower volume of tables

    maybe playing lots of tables at once at £2/£3 level is not a problem, but £5 maybe a little tougher to play optimumly on the bubble acroos a lot of tables

    think if your jumping up to £5 level, remember a level you have not beaten you may need to adjust slightly
