    Hi Peter,

    I was wondering why you are playing £55 dyms with a bankroll of £200? You'll be lucky to even get to 250 dyms without going broke. If you have deposited more for the purpose of your challenge then ignore me, but personally I think you need at least 20 buyins to be playing with, then move up or down the levels as necessary.

    What makes you think my bankroll is £200? Are you looking at a much older post perhaps?

    Actually, my current account balance is £137.95, but I'm well aware that's probably not going to be enough, I'm more than happy to re-deposit multiple times over - that just happens to be the level of funds I had in my account at the time. I regularly place bets with SkyBet which causes some fluctuation also.

    BRM is something I looked into heavily when I was previously grinding up the levels, but I appreciate the advice of course.

    Target: 250 DYM's complete by 01/01/2017.

    Completed: 13
    Profit: - £99.00 (+ £2.50 from Sky Poker rewards)

    Breakdown:
    £55 (cashes: 2, fails: 3)
    £33 (cashes: 4, fails: 4)
    £22 (cashes: 0, fails: 0)
    Overall (cashes: 6, fails: 7)

    Not the start I was hoping for, I'll keep pushing though.

    I just thought the whole point of your diary was because you wanted to ensure that you stuck to good BRM and I was surprised to see you doing the exact opposite.

    You have always said you want to be a player who withdraws and doesn't deposit. You just seem to be going against everything you have previously aimed for. Why?

    I wish you luck of course and hope it pays off.

    Good luck Peter

    Might it help with variance to multi-table £11 (or £22) DYMs rather than single tabling the £55 ones?

    Would also help you reach your target of 250 DYMs a bit quicker.

    Either way, as I said above, all the best at the tables.

    Hey just stumbled over this thread, how are you getting on?

    What was behind your decision to play at that particular stake?

    Wouldnt it be more fun to play more games for your budgeted spend?
