100% think you should include this. Your gaining most of these points at cash and they are therefore contributing to your BR.
I would appreciate a PM as well on what your views are on my cash play and I will do the same. You are definatley more aggressive than me so some discussion would be nice. We havae bith moved up from 4nl and you have come a long way. Keep it up.
Bank Roll 6th March... £0.69 Bank Roll 29th March £294.94 Mainly DYM's and occassional MTTs Posted by JockBMW
Having watched Richard Orford and Ross Jarvis LIVE show the other night on DYM's, they advised new players that they could start off by playing these DYM's (I've also been hammering the freerolls as well) and I think this advice has begun to pay dividends!!
I've had a hugely successful and satisfying night at the tables and here are my results
Orig BR: £2.60
£0.30p TURBO DYM SnG's
Played 6
Won 1
Placed 3 (places 1-3 thereby winning a prize IE 50p)
Lost 2
Finished evening by entering a standard 60p DYM SnG. Finished 3rd in this again winning a prize for the second time in my last 3 attempts at S&G's.
After the elation of the previous session of mine, I broke-even on Mothers Evening, before tonight became what was a total DISASTER! I played just four games 3x 30p DYM Turbo's and 1x 60p DYM (Standard 5min Blinds).
LOST every one of them (Placing 4th-6th) and had the unfortunate problem of runing into A-A when finally getting a decent hand late on and shoving with A-J. In another game got into a betting war and ended up all-in with J-Q only to find when the cards were turned over my OPPY had J-K! The board was a total non-event and OPPY wins with high-card Kings vs Queens!
OLD B/R £3.10
NEW: £1.90 (oh dear, need to get on and win a few, down to just 6x 30p B/I's)
In Response to Re: Build A Bankroll 2014: next session TONIGHT WED 26th MARCH : Well Done in your result posted here. Is that your "very deep run in the main" result you have posted there? Posted by GaryLaud
Yes it is Gary. Not bad, I reckon. I'm consistently cashing in either the main or the mini when I do both once a week. The trick now will be to hit a final table than a top 20 finish, so that I can take down a big cash and make everything better again!
Build a bankroll:- Well I've never really said so here is my target which i want to achieve by 30/4. Balance:- £2.60 (I want to double to just above £5 by either prizes in MTT or success on DYM MTT's:- to be occasionally getting 10 places either side of the bubble (am currently achieving 10 places outside bubble mark) S&G's:- To be regularly placing 3rd or better in DYM's. Once confident I am regularly achieving this, then I will move upto playing the normal S&G's which earns good payouts for 1st & 2nd. Cash Games: To have enough confidence in my game that I am succesful at building a chip stack, and only then, will I consider entering a cash game, probably start at 2p/4p bracket to start with. Some might encourage me to play these regularly - any tips for rookies playing these cash games? What do you guys think on these targets? Posted by GaryLaud
All looks good to me Gary.
Just one thing- where you finish in a DYM is irrelevant as long it's top 3. I know you're trying to finish as high as you can as practice for standard sngs, but really you shouldn't play DYMs to come first. You play them purely to finish top half.
otherwise, you're going to make wrong decisions, when you think you need to push for 1st place, when in reality you should be taking the survival line.
If you want to practice for standard sngs- i think you need to build your bankroll up abit via the 'easier' dyms, and then start at the lowest buy-in sngs and just play them. The best form of practice is actually playing- just make sure it's financially comfortable to be able to learn and make mistakes i.e. go seriously low until you are consistently chalking up cashes on the sngs.
Good luck!
Anyway- to give your BR a potential shot in the arm- I've stuck you in the next Turbo Open for the best contribution on the thread of the week.
Note it's not tonight's (April 1st) it's next week's (April 8th).

Yes, I agree with Craig. I think you should include your cashbacks- it's all ultimately prfoti you've gained by playing on the sky poker tables, however you might have got it.
It will be good if you guys can cheerlead each other on and help each other's game out.
Look forward to seeing you at the tables Rich. My run kept on going last night finishing 2 tops tens including a take down of the 21,45 speed. +£135 to my roll last night, was a happy man. Aiming to break into the top 20 of the turbo for the first time tonight, have had 4 20-30 finishes this year including 21st last week ..

Loving the optimism. If there is a final table i will make it's probably going to be the mini ;-)

Hi Mrs. D,
Thanks for your kind message. Unfortunately, for me, it was an April Fool's joke started by those nasty boys of the forum.
Still, quite funny though. I suppose...
Good to see you've started a bankroll challenge. Please keep me updated on this thread. Each week I give away a free seat to the following week's Turbo Open main event to whoever's made the best post contribution to the thread, so keep going and I'm sure you won't have to wait long ;-)
Decent night for me - away from the Main and Mini this time though. Main -> 5 limps into my AA in BB - 8.5x raise folded none of them whatsoever and i ended up flopping a set into flush - Wasn't too happy. Placed 3rd in a freebuy and 7th in the 9,45 speed (The one i took down last night). I blame my mini performance down to the excitement of Man United actually doing quite well against Bayern.
10th profitable night in a row, results really coming now after getting out of the horrendous run bad spell and after tweaking one or two minor things in my game. Included another take down of the 19,35 Freebuy (I own that one lol), and another decent cash in the 21,45 GTD speed.
