good to see your still ticking over nicely and that you've added a second table now. long may it continue for you. keep it going as momentum seems to be on your side at the minute Posted by TINTIN
Thanks TINTIN,
nice steady progress so far mate. just wondering if I should think about adding a 3rd table? I'm happy playing 2 and my reads are mainly good, I know from past experience that adding a 3rd will almost certainly lead to 4 ... (and my reads would drop, and I would then be 'playing the cards' to a certain extent, I think. ) hence my reluctance to do so. should I continue with the slowly slowly approach which seems to be working or is it time to take a risk? obviously it's only nl4 atm, but I am looking to hopefully continue with this strategy at nl10 when br reaches £200, going by my figures so far this month, up around £50 (12 buy-ins) (which I am happy with), if I got a similar return at nl10 playing 2 tables, (if mind would 12 buy-ins or just over say maybe 15 lol, be a good starting point, do you think?

I'd just stick to current plan for now. I wouldn't go adding more at the minute as its working well for you just now.
I'd have a future figure in mind where I would look to add another table but its easy to then get carried away and add another then another. you'd have to be really disciplined not to fall into this and so far your showing good discipline doing what your doing at the minute.
my fear of adding another table at the minute would be having a bad session. I know its not great to think like that but I feel you've got to be weary of possible situations and have an idea of how you would cope should some badness arise. all it would take was a 4 buyin losing session across 3 tables to drop you back to the £50 mark and then you might feel under a bit of pressure, you might then be reluctant to drop the 3rd table and so on. I know its kinda worst case.
slowly slowly is working for you at the minute that's why I would be reluctant to waver just now. 12 buyins may not sound a lot overall but if you were convert the number of hands played and work out a rough bb/100 hands I reckon it wouldn't be too shabby.
personally I would work towards the £80 mark giving 20 buyins before adding another table, then have another figure in mind for adding a 4th. jst my opinion mind. good luck mate
Well done, its always good to break barriers. Thats a key concept in any challange you set. You cant think of the end goal, just break it down into segments and concentrate on reaching each step, one at a time.

cheers Craig,
yes each time I go up £10 feels great. the next big barrier is making £100 I think. I'm in no hurry though. haven't played cash last 3 days as each time I was about to sit in and play on a table I liked the look of, someone else would nab the seat. he he. guess i'll have to be quicker in my decision making if I want to play in future. still if I'm not playing at least I can't lose. freerolls are going well atm, so I'm happy playing them
1xnl4 1x5p/5p action table 1xnl10 (capped table) W £3.00 br £73.40 pts money to come £3.38
deviated away from nl4 for the 1st time. why? getting nowhere tonight playing 1xnl4 so having never played action tables before, liked the look of it, so gave it a try. then thought 'what the ****' lets have a bit of fun, so loaded up nl10 capped table. started badly, went £7-£8 down, made one bad call with 99 and lost an all-in. kept cool though, didn't panic and eventually picked up some hands and clawed it back. nice to finish the session with a small win.
not sure if this will become my new games, will have to wait and see, I guess. the plan is to move up to nl10 proper once br reaches £200 so maybe this could be my next step. anyway, that's all for now, dev

Youve been doing very well winning bits at a time devon my friend but dont let all of these small wins put you on positive tilt and make you stray from the path you had set yourself.
Stick to your goal and keep building at 4nl until you hit your target because it only takes a few cooler hands or badbeats at 10nl to undo all of your good work.

+1!!!!!
Honestly, you are doing really well. I would hate to see it all go. Not saying you can't win but from someone who is doing there own challenge it's heart breaking if as said you run KK into AA or get a few cooler hands and a huge % of your BR is gone.
Your plan is a good one. I urge you to stick to it. Play more 4nl tables first rather than move up stakes.

thanks Diminuendo,
it was a capped nl10 table which meant starting with £6 and a max all-in of £3, which isn't a lot different to nl4. think you may have missed that mate. there's no way I'd play a full nl10 table with my current br... I know we're silly down in Devon...but we're not that silly!!! he he.

cheers Craig,
will be moving up to full nl10 table at £200, might give 5p/5p action tables another go later. didn't find them much different to nl4 tbh. anyway, I'm playing with ';free money' as it's all been won from nothing, so I don't feel under any pressure with this challenge. i'll get to my goal at some point, then the 'real poker' begins. thanks for the friendly advice mate. gl, dev
hard session, went down early doors, but was determined to grind it back, which I thankfully did. I know the swings are going to be slightly bigger playing action table, but that goes both ways, so am prepared for it if/when it happens. anyway, another nice little win, so can't complain, might be back later, see how I feel. gl all, dev
bad result tonight but played ok tbh. horrible run of the cards. not going to bore you with details, you all know the score. shame it's come on last day of the month.
anyway, good result overall I think gone from £8.85 to £69.84 which is a profit of £60.99 I make it for January. more of the same next month would be nice. shown good discipline I think. only played 3 tables maybe once or twice all month. it's going to take probably another 2 months or more, I would think to reach my £200 target, especially playing 2 tables most of the time, but as I'm in no hurry to get there, it doesn't really matter too much.
anyway, bed time... feeling a bit 'cream crackered night all dev'
edit; been through hh nothing wrong as far as I can see. lost 1 allin with 2nd nut run, lost AA to q 10 2pr KK the same, after making big bets p/f. and c betting
another edit; forgot to mention, made more money this month from playing cash than the whole of last year playing cash. he he.
