I pretty much always agree with what Lambert says but with the bolded part...
I understand there will be periods where he wont cash but given the volume Steve will HAVE to play to get the numbers he is after I think you should change month to week and with that the fields in the tournaments IDCU will be playing aren't that big so I dont think you should be experiencing such large variance on sky, if it was stars then fine as field sizes can be huge but not sky.
Steve - How many games have you been playing in an average week?
Good luck with diary and the challenge. I will follow with interest!
Matt
Hi matt an average day i play about 10 mtts a day so on average 70 a week most of em are small 1s tho £50 gtd id say 5 of them are this
I still play frenzys as i do pretty well at them theres usually 8 frenzys on a day £1.80 rebuys for a £33 mtt and most rebuys i do are normally 5-6 so max it would cost me is around £11 - £12 and i normally cash 1 in 2 so i make a nice profit on these i make as much money on frenzys atm then i do on mtts before i posted this challenge was earning £80 on frenys and £70 on mtts on avearge in a weekly basis
Im not saying i will do it but its a target i want to acheive it will be hard as i withdraw £150 every 2 weeks atm for rent and the rest like to spend it or go out etc
so with that in mind it will be hard im gonna have to make £800 a month on poker to do this as £300 a month i will be withdrawing i dnt think its out of the question but it it will be difficult but a challenge im looking forward 2
The variance on these sites are huge (I know I have played over 6000 tournaments on the big sites). You will need to invest a lot of time and effort and unless you are extrmely lucky lose a fair bit in the process.
My advice would be increase volume on sky. You say you play on average 10 tournaments a day, how many tables are you playing at the same time?
Secondly I would suggest increasing stakes as you go along but record your results so you know what your profitable games are. I would increase the stakes by saying when I get my balance to £x I will start playing y tournament in my nightly schedule.
Just my thoughts
Again, best of luck with the challenge
Matt
there is def more than 10 tournies that you should be playing per day on Sky with suitable BIs.
I'd be playing all the BHs sub 22 if I was you as well as your usual games and the normal 5.50/11 tournies too that are like 250/300/500 GTD.
i put my bets on another site that give far better odds they have a good pokersite there its linked with l a db rokes i wont name the site but dohhhhhh knows what it is so i might deposit £100 on there this challenge is only on sky tho no other site
good luck at the tables and once again thanks for ya support guys

There aren't enough on here for you to be able to play 6 MTTs at once (for instance) most of the time and unless you're gonna rely on running really well and getting a few tasty binks, you're gonna need to put some sick volume in to get this done.
Can't see why you wouldn't be to play more than 6 tables, MTT's ain't taxing early doors )
If your serious about playing poker and not getting a job then you have to invest in the right tools, do it now.
Sure you can play 6+ MTT's at once
As others have said, if you're gonna take it serious you need to play more tables. You might not be able to play 10 tables at first, but no-one could until they practiced! Get a setup that can play a lot of tables (doesn't have to be expensive), play 6, then after a while add another MTT or even just a DYM or something, might feel a lot at first but stick at it and you'll get used to it.
It takes time but come on if Devon can play 18, then you can do bloody 10!
Start with 6 tables and that could/should go to say £14 per hour (not quite 50% extra cos you may lose some player dependent decisions occasionally etc)
£4 per hour, play 6 hours in a day, that's £24.
Play for 20 days of 1 month, that's £480 you've lost out on, and that would be your PC paid for
If you wanna do it as a job, then treat it as one, you wouldn't see Ronnie O'Sullivan playing with a £10 cue would ya?
But he doesnt anyway, cos every small edge helps
