happy with my progress & how i'm playing & my booking the wins where i can strategy.
happy my £60 bet on Van Gerwin won, giving me £20 profit. a calculated risk, which gives me the springboard to play the £2 games.
as for August...
much the same, continue with booking the wins & the £2 games, see how that develops, hope to play more of them & less £1 as the month continues.
that's it.
hope you've enjoyed it so far. still a long way to go so not going to be going mad playing long sessions, got to keep myself fresh for the months ahead.
Just have to say this is fantastic work. Really is great going. A roll model to others and shows the value of great BR management. Very, very, well done. Posted by CraigSG1
Steady as she goes. Think this is one of those challenges you will definately make if you keep putting the work in.
You asked me about playing higher games with my BR but i prefer the steady route. With your BRM i think its just a matter of time . reminds me of GaryQQQ,s diary. Once he got going you knew he would make it - Sensible BRM again

this is my 2nd challenge Paul, as you probably know, so at least i know what lies ahead this time, & can improve my performance this time, hopefully.
yeah, i know what you mean about keeping it steady, just thought as you have such a nice roll to play with now, you might be tempted to play at a slightly higher level, but it's all about playing well within yourself and where you feel most comfortable, i guess.
change of plan, as the £1 games were rubbish decided to risk playing a few £3 games. lost the first & thought this was going to be a disaster session, but went with my gut insticts & won the next 2 games.
£2 games were good today, all the usual suspects playing today, so had to find my A game to win.
might now drop the £1 games altogether, as long as my b/r is over £100 then i'm reasonably comfortable playing the £2 & £3 games, and as long as i don't have a nightmare session, which is always possible i know, i should be able to push on.
if i do drop below the £100 figure, i'll rebuild playing the £1 games again & try again.
think i've shown the £1 games are beatable with a 65.3% win rate playing them last month and a profit of £45.90
so no need to continue with them any more, i feel.
Hard session tonight, went down 4-0 on £3 games, then 5-1 so losing 6-3 was a good result in the end.
always going to be a struggle right now as my b/r is only just big enough to cope with any bad sessions.
it works both ways though, so no complaints, as we never moan when we win do we.
i'll continue playing these games though as long as b/r stays over £100. if it drops below then it's back to the £1 & £2 games again.
i'm playing with free money, so there's no pressure on me, and i've been here before so I know how it goes.
this is where the rollercoaster sessions begin, as i'm fully aware, and losing/winning sessions of £10 to £30+ will become an every day thing from now on, as long as i'm playing £3 & £2 anyway.
Hi Devon! GL with your continuing endeavours which I have my eyes on with a lot of interest! When you do a session how many tables are you playing at once? I find my max is two ATM, otherwise I feel I can't concentrate on the game properly and make silly mistakes or miss hands or misclick when involved in a big hand on another table! Once folded K K that way! Also how uch did u start with and what games you play first? Regards Gary

Thanks Gary,
i'm playing between 4 & 6 tables at the moment. all depends what games i'm playing.
i started this challenge with £40 and will stop at £1,040.
if i'm playing say £1 games as i have been doing for the first 5-6 weeks, then it's usually 4 tables, with 2 x £2 also.
as i've just moved up to the £3 games i'll now be playing 1 x £3 & 3 x £2 to begin with & see how those 4 games go. if i win the £3 game & 2 or all 3 £2 games, i'll stop & book the win.
if i lose the £3 game then i'll load up another 2 games & if i win both i'll also stop.
if like the other night i go 3 or 4-0 down, it then becomes a case of damage limitation, and getting out of the session once i've decided enough is enough.
so every session is different really but as my b/r grows.. hopefully, then i can increase the length of each session, should i choose to and i would then play 6 tables, which i'm setting as my maximum this time, as playing any more than that takes a lot of concentration & effort, which can also lead to 'burn out' too.
if you are playing 2 tables you should try adding a 3rd sometime which will then lead you to the 4th.
it really is only a matter of practise & once you get used to it, which should come quite quickly a matter of hours or days at the most, then you will increase your winnings.
i would say 4 to 6 tables should be every dym's players aim.
yes you will make a few mistakes to begin with ... like folding kk, etc done it myself on more than one occasion, but you soon get used to the speed of playing them & once you can do it, you will never look back.
In Response to Re: £40 to £1,040.... dev's 2nd DYM challenge....(current b/r £138.20).... £2 & £3 games here we go. : That's a pretty sweet rubdown Gary, wp. Posted by hhyftrftdr
Hopefully I will be seeing you at the tables soon - we manage to miss each other a lot - can not be a bad thing haha
When do you think the £5 starts? I was going to stay away from them for as long as possible - just not confident that a few bad sessions and can easily loose a months graft!
Think my plan of attack is to keep pushing the £2 and £3 and chuck in odd mini mtt

Hi Nuggs,
yeah, deffo avoiding each other is a good thing, ha ha
I hate seeing a grown man cry over losing money lol
Deffo advise you to keep away from the £5 games too. think you are spot on playing £2 & £3 games for now.
I struggled with them on my last challenge & gave up on them in the end, just played the £3 games for the last month or two, and did better that way.
I have found a good stategy this time around & will stick with it throughout my challenge, that being just play one higher level game, that being £3 atm if i win that game, stop. then play the easier £2 games for the rest of the session.. as last night.
if i lose that £3 game load up another 2 if i win those 2 then stop at 2-1 up & in profit.
obviously this isn't going to work every time, but it should at least 2 times out of 3 i reckon, thus giving me an easy session & the win most times.
I'll try it at the £5 level also, when i'm rolled & ready for it too.... probably around the £300- £400 i reckon.
anyway mate, just a little insight into my strategy & game plan.
think yours is good too btw, & with playing mtts too, you will deffo beat me to the £500 target, but i think i'll beat you over the longer distance to £1,000. ha ha ... well maybe? lol
struggled early doors losing on the bubble with ak v a6 etc, but continued to play my game, which resulted in a nice win in the end. if my ak had held i would have finished 2&3/4 hours ago with a £3 odd profit, so i guess it worked out fine in the end.
