thanks m8,
yes,will play £2 & £3 tonight i think.
got 2 keep on trying the higher levels though and i,m sure it,s only going 2b a matter of time & practise until i get it right.
still feel i,m playing ok,if i didn,t i would be honest enough and sensible enough not to even go there.
best wishes m8

well done m8,nice turn around.
yes,i do seem 2b unsure as to which level i should play atm.
if i was playing my normal game/strategy i would be using the 100 buy-in rule.b4 moving up levels.
as i am attempting to reach £1000 asap on this particular mission,that rule does not apply here.
maybe i could/should simply use it as i,m sure i would be showing a bigger b/roll than i am atm?
if things carry on as they are for much longer,1 step forward...1 step back then i will have to consider aborting my current plan & simply do it the hard way & grind it out 1 level at a time.
i,m taking things very much 1 day at a time.
either way,i,m confident of reaching my £1000 target, & that has always been my only aim right from day 1.
don,t know just how many knock backs i can take though,not to many more i feel.
i have no regrets though as the experience & knolwedge i am learning from this mission,will i,m sure be invaluable for the future.
best wishes Jon,

good points m8.
yes i,m sure the £5 level is that bit harder but the only way i,m going to beat it is by playing it.
it is still quite early days though so i am not overly concerned.
i,m sure i am making mistakes and those will eventually disappear with time,i hope.
losing 18 buy-ins as i did y,day in total, looks bad but if i,d lost the same at £1 or £2 levels i wouldn,t even bat an eye lid,at least not with a 100 buy-in b/roll 4 each level.
tbh i did have a fair ammount of bad run y,day but that said,it,s no excuse,as i know it,s all part of the game.
i,m not into posting hands like many others do but i,m sure you have had losing sessions yourself when you have felt you did very little wrong.
just seems i,m getting my hands in good so often atm anyway,where they have to hit & i don,t & they do.
had aa v 44 & i lost to 4 clubs coming giving opponent flush...-£10 swing.
just 1 example i know.
getting lots of these too;i have ak v kq opponent hits q to knock me out,
or kq v j 8, j or 8 comes again so often.
now i,m not going to be silly and say something like "it,s fixed" am i?
but it can get to the point where you do start doubting yourself and the way you are playing this game.
that said,i,m feeling better already and ready for another sess this evening. lol
best wishes m8

nice to get the W as it seems some time since i last reported on one. lol

dev

thanks m8,
what would you suggest my br should be b4 i try again?
i,m thinking maybe i should get the 100 buy-ins ie;£500 so that i feel comfortable & also should allow me a few bad sessions which i seem 2b getting every time i try & play there.
dev
yes m8 it,s certainly been very up & down last few weeks & deffo tested my patience.
think i,ll just try & grind @ £3 level for the nxt week or 3 & see if i can move forwards that way as £5,s are just doin my head in,atm lol
also sure it will help me "up top" too, lol
best wishes,

ty 4 all advice buddy.
going to stick with £3 4 a few days & see how that goes.
fed up losing @ £5 atm but i,m sure i will be back there trying again at some point.
you could be right though about table selection?
may be something i will have to think about.
although i guess you shouldn,t be frightened to play anyone at any level,if u r u shouldn,t be there,again, imo.
best wishes
dev
I agree with the other posters; stick to £3.30+. At your high volume that extra 5% rake at £2.25 or less makes a big dent in your profits.
