WON £6.20 B/R £516.69 PTS 226 £5 GAMES W 3 L 1 TOTAL W 90 L 66 PROFIT +£42.00
lost 1st £5 game but continued anyway, & to win 3-1 & boost my winnings even further is great for my confidence as well as my b/r, & I now am beginning to believe that at long last the £5 level is beatable... hoooray
ok, a bad run can spoil everything, I know that, & things can change 'just like that' but as long as things continue as they are
then I see no reason to change anything & simply continue with the slowly slowly approach for the time being at least.

I know I can't keep this win rate up on the £5's but am on a roll for the first time & it has come at exactly the right time for me, so I'm not complaining, ha ha.
I try & take it not just 1 game at a time but 1 decision at a time on every hand, & as long as I get the majority right then the rest is out of my hands so to speak.
(I made a couple of bad decisions y'day after giving them more thought but luckily they were on 2 x £3 games, one was an allin with ak on kxx after opponent re-raised my initial raise.. he had kk,
the other a tight player raised 450 pre flop I went allin with a7 trying to steal chips(on the bubble)thinking he would fold, he had aq & held, so another 2 lessons learnt... just shows I'm human though I guess, & still learning as we all do especially from our mistakes, I think.)
I know a losing session is coming as winning every time is impossible, so I am ready for it & damage limitation will be my priority when it comes.
Almost half way there mate! The first half is always the hardest. I have no doubt you will complete this, and well deserved. This is a perfect example of how BR management works.

WON £1.00 B/R £521.89 PTS 530 £5 GAMES W 9 L 8 TOTAL W 100 L 74 PROFIT +£43.00
went 1-4 down on the £5 games (losing one game aipf on bubble with AQ V A10.. 10 hit 1st card
so to come out of session 9-8 up (winning last 2 games comfortably as chip leader) was a great result -:)
not sure if I should be playing this many games per session, but I guess when you go behind then you have to trust your game is good enough to get you out of trouble,which thankfully it did today.
anyway, I'll take each day & each session as it comes & make the necessary decisions as best I can.
nice points today... 260 but don't want to get carried away with trying to make them a priority, & hopefully will make 6 tables my maximum, as I feel any more than that I just end up 'pressing buttons' & not paying full attention to my 'opponents game play' which of course is very important too.
Hi dev, ive been a way for a while i think last time i was around u had just completed your last dym challange i really enjoyed reading that so im glad to see you've started another challange and i'm glad its going well.
I also have some good news for you, im nearly rolled for £5 dym's now so you will have some softer opposition very soon

Ha Ha RLT,
Thanks for the kind words...much apreciated.
I was going to reply to your number of buy-ins question earlier, but I guessed you would get plenty of good advice from others.
My best advice would be to beat the level you are playing now, ie; the £1. add 1x £2 table then once we are winning around 2 from 3 or (3 from 5) games in total, & b/r is around £80-£100...could be less even £60, then drop the £1 games & think about adding a 1x £3 game to your £2 games and so on.
Experiment & find what works for you but as long as you use some sort of good brm then you will be fine I'm sure.
good luck,
dev
edit; you say you are nearly rolled for the £5 games. 20 buy-ins is £100... that is not enough imo.
beat the £3 level first before even thinking about the £5's is my advice.
once you can do that then the £5's are worth trying but a b/r of £200 would be better, I think.
LOST £28.50 B/R £507.49 PTS 1258 £5 GAMES W 14 L 16 TOTAL W 128 L 99 PROFIT +£31.50
WOOOOPS so much for playing safe
went down early...again, & spent the next few hours chasing which has cost me tonight.
I always knew that this session was coming so am not surprised at all, in fact it could have been worse as I won my last 2 games which was nice.
It's not like I've not been here before, so I will re-group & hopefully re-build again.
still showing a profit so no need to panic... just yet.
also have to remember these games have given me good points too, which add up to another £11.35 in bonus so far since I started playing them last month.
anyway, it's all over now & I have no regrets, I gave it my best as always, but some bad run & no doubt some bad play mixed in there too has cost me today.
I always look at the bigger picture after sessions like today... which is that I am £467.49 up since I started,(and over 3K up in total winnings), so it's never quite as bad as it seems & by tomorrow another session will begin & we start all over again...
as Tikay or was it Carlo that says "It's a never ending game" -:)
