    In Response to Re: £40 to £1,040.... dev's 2nd DYM challenge.(current b/r £552.54).... profit from £5 games...+£70.00 : Devon am i missing something here ? I thought you were playing 1 or 2 games max per day and yet here you are today playing 25 lol This only ever happens when your losing, how much different your total would be if it happened when you were winning aswell !  Its amazing how much effort goes into your game once you fall behind and if you could only find a way to put that same effort into things once your infront it would make such a difference imo. Now get back to the one game a day strategy its much more fun lol As always GL

    Cheers Gran,
    Yes, you are missing something mate...
    I don't want to grind it out every day right now, which I've said numerous times.
    I could have stopped the session at 0-1  or 0-2 or 0-3 i guess but that's not my style as 8-9 times out of 10 I can grind those losses back as today.
    I know if i put in more volume i would be winning more, as i did my last challenge that way & finished it in 5 months or so.
    This is now all about beating the £5 games & showing a profit of £67 right now from them is fantastic.
    I am not prepared to possibly risk losing a large proportion of that by having 1 bad session, which from previous efforts of playing them is very likely to happen.
    I will get to my target & beat this £5 level if it's the last thing I ever do...
    & the way that it's going it might very well be, ha ha.
    don't panic... I know what I am doing...
    & yes it will be back to the 1 game strategy today as it was y'day... I just didn't win that game, that was all.

    That strategy lasted a whole 2 days Dev you must have a problem with having a losing day as you always try and grind out of it.  Always the big grind when you lose a few in a a row. GL

    Hi Stuart,
    yes, I know but it worked y'day didn't it.
    I don't like losing & if i can grind out the win i will mate.
    obviously posting this diary gives me a greater incentive to post the wins, but in real life away from this i have had bigger wins/losses for sure & don't bat an eyelid at them.
    cheers,

                                                   won £20.00
                  lost  38  42.6%
    £11  
          8   won 1  12.5%                 won £9.00

    total number of games played  1246  won 735 = 59% win rate
                         
                                             lost  511 = 41% lose rate

    total won £135.35
    total lost £68.00
                   -------
    total months winnings £67.35  (not inc...31/5/12)

    closing b/roll £104.71 (+£64.00)
    c4p to come £48.86

    summary;
    happy with the effort....9/10
    overall result....... 6/10
    result ,not inc £11,s.....good.....8/10

    nxt months targets....
    pretty much the same,play as much as possible,
    keep the losses to a minimum by limiting no. of games played at the higher,more dangerous levels;ie £5 & £11



    thought 555 was a bit conservative...(my guess as to how many games played..)
    lol
    :-)
    dev

    10/12/2014  edit[  btw, I was only playing 9 tables at that time, which as the weeks went by gradually turned into 15-18 tables.
    I then lost track of games won & lost after this month, but I remember a period playing 100 games+ most nights peaking between 150-160 quite frequently.  -:)

    Aaaaaaaarrrr...the good old days.  lol

    day 178 10/12/14  wednesday  day off
    day 179 11/12/14  thursday  

    £5 & £3  4 tables...

    WON £10.50 B/R £570.64 PTS 267 £5 GAMES W 3 L 3 TOTAL W 211 L 161 PROFIT +£64.00

    went down 0-1 & 1-3 on £5's so happy stopping at just £3 down today.
    £3's have picked up again which is good.
    just need some run good on £5's again to get things moving, but need to ride out these sessions right now & stay patient.

    Cheers gran,
    I miss read the promo earlier today & thought it said the top 10 players...
    how daft am I   lol
    What to do?
    I could play tonight I guess but am cooking tea right now.
    how many points do you think you would need to qualify?
    maybe 100-200?
    i could easily get that playing 9-12 tables@ £3 games

    Thanks gran,

    day 180  12/12/14

    part 2...

    £3 & £2   12 tables...

    WON £0.05 B/R £580.59 PTS 542 £5 GAMES TOTAL W 212 L 161 PROFIT +£68.50

    total points won today 278  hope that's enough for todays xmas challenge bonus £20

    had enough anyway, so if it's not will have to settle for the 5p profit, ha ha.
    had my balance switched off as I have been doing recently, so it was only at the final few games left that I knew how things were standing.
    I had 2x£3 games in play & was the 5p up, & had a feeling I might lose both, which of course happened.  :(
    think I over played 1 game & ran my AK into AA being slow played of course, but hey, it's over now & time for bed.
    funny playing 12 tables after all this time. deffo think it's at least 3 too many now for me, maybe even 6,  but it was ok as a one off, ha ha
    back to my normal routine tomorrow  -:)
    night all
