As teacakes has said he wants a team bankroll challenge, team defectors v team motorway service station how about having 20 volunteers and the captains take turns in picking so its fair. Sky gives each team a virtual bank roll and the captains pick one or two players per night to play a tourney on the virtual roll and any winnings go onto that roll. The team with the biggest roll after, say a month, wins. As the kids say, simples
Session 12 (5hrs x 6 tables) +£40.38 Bankroll: £532.22
Made good money in this session. At the end of the session I remained on one table specifically to stack one opponent who I had seen call off with TP5k no draw earlier in the session. Eventually I instead stacked 2 other players at the table with my loose aggro image vs my chosen prey working for me. The original opponent remained HU and I had nearly 300bb to his 80.
I don't even know how to describe what happened next.....except that I lost 4 buyins to this guy in the next 20 minutes!! There were a number of bad beats, but when I called off my own stack with KK on AA9 when I KNEW I was behind I decided to save myself from myself and write this diary entry.
I believe I have just had my first encounter with 'Entitlement tilt' which is mentioned in 'The Mental Game Of Poker'. I need to reread the chapter!!!
Anyway I am now in profit and In-form so the future looks bright. Onwards and upwards. I also cashed in the main with my free entry last Tuesday. I was unlucky in a few b vs b flips with POKERTREV in the last 25 or so players and otherwise it was a very easy run for me in this tourney which is a slightly larger buyin than I usually play. I definitely think I will play more medium buyin tournys once I have proved to myself that I can offset the variance with my cash poker winnings.
Apologies to Tikay for the dry content in my updates. Once I have more profit I might brighten up a bit
Session 13 (2hrs x 6 tables) +£29.08 Bankroll: £561.30
Morning all,
3rd decent winning session in a row. Its true that the regs are very tight but playing 6 tables keeps me involved constantly and the sessions are flying by. Before this challenge I prefered to play 2 tables max but now I am even thinking of getting a new laptop so that I can squeeze in a few extra tables at once. Of course, I have to play a lot tighter preflop than I am used to, but this is a necessary adjustment in cash poker vs decent players anyway.
I am beginning to prefer multitabling cash games to MTTs which I didnt think would ever happen! I have gone very deep in a lot of the tournys I am playing alongside cash, but havent managed to build a stack that can get me into a final tbale/winning position. How do other regs manage to switch gears in their MTTs alongside cash? Drop a few cash tables when the bubble breaks?

Short blast before 5 a side tonight. Im about to play football for the first time in 6 months. It is going to be cold and wet, I am out of shape, it is going to cost me a tenner in petrol to get there and I wont get home until 11pm.
Why play? Because I love the sport. Just like poker!!! Also, my girlfriend has been calling me lazy since I started staying in playing so much poker. She keeps saying I will get fat......
At the weekend, I literally burst my pants (!) after eating a 3 course dinner and broke the little hook thingy above my fly. Perhaps I should listen to my gf more!!
Thankfully, the profit in this session gives me more excuse to play poker. Probably be back on at midnight!!

Hi Kev and Gazza,
Soz- just seen your message.
Were you put in the game in the end? The guys who sort all this stuff usually set a reminder to do it nearer the time and I received confrimation that they'd got my original message requesting your free entries, so I'm assuming it all went through ok.
Let me know and if not, I'll rearrange for next week.
Why are we doing this on Tuesday, Rich? You usually throw your money out on a Wednesday. What gives? EDIT: Just crossed with your last post - I'm guessing it's so Miss Fowler can look at your face on Skype... Posted by Slipwater
Plus it's cheaper on a Tuesday. No rebuys or add ons
