You started a new challenge yet, or still thinking what to do this time.

yes,deffo counts as a good day for me.
been waiting a long time it seems for that day,but i guess in reality it's not been that long since i started playing DYM's more seriously.
looking back i was only playing £1 games on 1/5/12 at the start of my challenge,quickly followed by £2 games then the £3's.
so what's that about 5 months in total,i guess,so not quite as bad as i first thought.
although that's not counting another 2 years of practise before that. lol
yes,it has all been blown out of proportion,i feel,but never the less, i said what i said and that can't be changed.
for every action there is a re-action,which i clearly wasn't expecting and i will have to live with it.
i know that my conscience is clear and so that is all that matters to me.
ty again for the kind words.
best wishes
dev
yes m8,i've had plenty of them days.
my challenge taught me a number of things,which will be invaluable to me forever.
patience...got to have it
character,..the same
determination
brm
look at the BIG PICTURE and not just 1 bad days result.
effort...nobody's going to give you their money,you have to earn it.
practise...the more i play the luckier i get("yes,i know it's a corny old saying...but it's true.")
multi-tabling...got to be done,the more you can play the better.find your optimal number could be 3 or 4 or 12-15. (or even 19 as i had going last night....lol)
had a funny well not so much funny,more ironic i think,incident whilst i was playing last night.
£5 dym on bubble,i just got river card i think from memory,which gave me a full house and the nuts.
opponent goes all-in on me ....great...
my battery goes on my mouse...can't do a thing...
so i'm frantically trying to change the battery(got a spare one all ready as always)....
to late...
i've folded and lost.
"what a time to go on me?"
so it happens to us all m8. lol
best wishes
dev
ty m8,
not really given it much thought tbh.
i'm building up my b/roll atm.i've got to get back up to the £1000 mark again.
i am now back up to £874 from £570 since my challenge finished just over 2 weeks ago.
(but that does include a £97.50 win from a free bet i had on the Ryder Cup).
so happy just grinding DYM's for the moment.
best wishes G

be a while before i get to the £5 tables ... still bashing out the occasional game at £3 & £2... use my winnings to play in the Monday night DTD , which i love.
Mick
one thing i did learn years ago never ever ever use a battery mouse, and always keep a spare.lol, keep it going dev...
it's the 1st time that it has cost me money tbh,so i can't really complain.
it normally only takes me about 10 seconds or so to change it just so happened to be at the absolute wrong time,but i'll deffo add a hardwire mouse from now on.
best wishes with your own cash challenge.
dev
yes running hot atm...
just hope i can keep it going.
gl buddy
dev
glad u r enjoying the Monday night DTD.
best wishes
dev
well done yourself,£25 up at nl4 is a great result.
having played there many times myself i know just how hard it can be to win any money there at all.
best wishes
dev
think i've just joined the club lol
just happen to love my mouse and the extra freedom i have with it being cordless,but will be taking all the advice on board and in future have a spare one ready.
best wishes
dev
it is definately a step-up from the £3 level.
i must now try and back this win up with another,otherwise it will all have counted for nothing.
i know it won't be easy,wouldn't want it any other way though.
good luck yourself m8.
dev
no battery,just a hardwire.it's a Microsoft sidewinder x3 gaming mouse so will try it out tonight.
@ £29.99 it better be good & bring me luck. lolz

Monday,
not a very good session tonight.
i got off to a really bad start and tbh i was probably trying to play to many tables to quickly.
(had 21 in play.....to many) lols
lost £41.00
which i deserved to and could have been a lot worse,if i'm being totally honest.
b/roll is still pretty good though
£834.47
so no complaints.
c4p was great tonight won 410 so happy with that. total 1539
still ,i am going to spend the next week or so playing the £5 games,mixed in with my usual £3's.
it is definitely feeling a lot more comfortable for me now than it once was so i am hopeful that the break through that i am desperately looking for,might not be to far away...
well fingers crossed anyways.
i am not going to turn this into another challenge or diary or anything,but i think i will just post up 'as and when'
anything exciting might happen.
dev
yes m8 i remember seeing you.
hope u had a better nite than me. lols

9/10/12
day off work due to it raining,so loaded up some £3's & £5's as usual.
got off to a horrible start to the session AA into 99 and lost an all-in.AA again into 56 (i think) all-in pre-flop,came out something like 478. total joke.
anyway,carried on playing just the £5 games.had a certain johnconnor on my tables,which is always nice.
finished the session £19.55 up so very happy to get back on track again after last nights loss.
back later tonight.i might try just the £5's again,depending on how many tough 'reg's' are about.
be lucky

part 2
back playing £5 games only tonight.also cut back on number of tables to 12/13.
seemed to do the trick...
won £37.50 hooooraaaay.
b/roll £890.52 c4p 1849
my new target now is to hopefully carry on grinding at the £5's,and if successful build my b/roll up to £2000
and then have a proper attempt at the £11's....
but you all know me & my plans. lols
night all.

7/11/12
haven't posted for nearly a month,so quick up-date.
still playing £5's mixed in with some £3 games
only been playing 9 tables usually 4/5x£5 and 4/5x£3
b/roll dropped back to £729 but it's now back up to £900.21
so no real progress made in monitory terms but i'm happy with the way i'm playing.
i know i have been running pretty bad for the last 2/3 weeks or so and i'm confident that things should move forwards again hopefully quite soon.
still enjoying the challenge of playing the £5's and although it's frustrating that my b/roll isn't better than it is,
at least i'm now holding my own playing at this level,which is an achievement in itself i think,after having made a number of attempts previously,all without success.
still got a long way to go before i can even think about the next level,the £11's but i'm sure it's possible.
it's all very simple,one day at a time and keep on trying to improve...
that's all i can do.
run good.
