    Nice one Dev. 

    Disappointed you weren't rewarded with a nice profit for your efforts, but that's how it goes. Sometimes we'll have long break even and downswings. But hopefully you get the £100 bonus. 

    Imagine if you'd stuck to your normal grind routine and had a run like today, as will inevitably happen at some point.

    It would've taken you 3 months to win 5pence. 

    Food4thought!

    gl over the weekend.

    cheers Phantom,
    tbh I really don't remember those first few games ha ha, probably just as well as I'm sure I would have been tempted to stop had I won them. -:)

    Cheers dohhhhh
    be lovely getting £100 mate as everyone else will be getting £20  ha ha
    not got it in my account yet, but I'm guessing as it's the weekend  so it might not be sorted yet.
    hope I did enough anyway.
    the most important thing was I didn't lose y'day, which can easily happen when playing these promotion thingys,
    so that's the good news anyway :)
    playing 12 tables is more of a lottery over 1 days grind anyway, as y'day showed me, you only win by playing that number day after day, as I did on challenge 1.
    playing less tables is the other option & higher stakes, ie; £3 & £5  as opposed to y'day £3 & £2
    both work well it's just a matter of choice & discipline & keeping to your game-plan.
    yes dohhhh bad runs do happen but as I have shown by booking the wins you can have some control over what happens.
    the days i win £4.50 or £3.30 playing the £5's might not happen if i continued playing those sessions
    as long as those small wins are greater than my losses we always win, which so far has been the case
    it's still very early days though & things can & probably will change, so as always i just take my poker & plans 1 day at a time. 
    as long as my b/r moves forwards & the £5 games are showing me a steady profit, then that will do me just fine for now, as all I am doing is preparing the foundations for challenge 3, which is going to be my final test.

    I went for this promo last night too but ended up with only 250 points and 30 quid down so you def had a result breaking even!

    day 184  tuesday  16/12/14

    1x£5

    WON £4.50 B/R £612.29 PTS 558 £5 GAMES W 1 L 0 TOTAL W 214 L 161 PROFIT +£77.50

    got lucky on bubble aipf  on sb with q7 v next shortie bb, k3 i think,. hit qq on flop  :)
    apart from being card dead most of game, & apart from everyone folding whilst holding my fav KK hand.
    my game is now all geared to trying to hit that £100 profit target for the £5's asap.
    then the 2 tables can begin :)

    edit[ when I say asap that's asap playing 1 game at a time when I win obviously....
    don't want to mislead you all or anything.  lol

    day 185  wednesday  17/12/14

    1x£5 & 1x£3

    WON £1.20 B/R 613.49 PTS 566 £5 GAMES W 1 L 0 TOTAL W 215 L 161 PROFIT +£82.00

    thought I'd won both games so meh, won the important one right now anyway.
    hard fought game, bubble was good fun eventually my old fav's KK on sb v bb called with K8 did the trick -:)
    hope this 'winning streak' continues as I'm closing in on the £100 target i need, then it's 2 tables... wooohooo.

    edit[ so much for my winning streak continuing...
    me & my big mouth...
    will I never learn :(

    part 2...

    £5 & £3 & 1x£2   6 tables 

    LOST £0.25 B/R £613.24 PTS 629 £5 GAMES W 4 L 5 TOTAL W 219 L 166 PROFIT +£72.50

    lost 1st £5 game aipf on bubble with JJ V AK hit A on river  meh,
    from there went 0-4 down pulled it back to 4-4 only to lose last game on bubble aipf with AJ V 9 10   FLOP 9 10 X meh. :(
    so took peeps advice & booked the loss this session of £9.50. rather than 'go chasing' as I normally do.  :)
    won £4.50 earlier so only a £5 loss on the day, no biggie.

    question,  regarding points /bonus won from playing £5 games....
                 played 385 games = 1925 points = £19.25 won in bonus...

          can I/should I include that in my profit column for the £5 games?
          or is it seperate & goes down as 'simply bonus money' at the end of each month?

          just thought I'd put it out there to see peeps opinions,
          cheers,
    dev

    Hi dev

    I wouldnt include it. What you are doing shows a true performance on the 5.50s. By adding it in just makes it look better.

    This is why i said earlier that volume is the key as i am sure at the end you ill find that about £200 will be your monthly bonuses.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Technically it's not a profit indicator for £5 games as you'd get it regardless of whether you cash or not in the games played.

    Sharkscope certainly wouldn't use it ;)
