    Never mind Dev 18 games is some going.

    And it's another banked win day!

    GL - If you have time for some grinding this month there is the SNG TSP thing to consider - may be worth it next week after your break.

    If you can win 18 £5 games in a row then I suspect your game is good enough to move up and start adding tables! GL

     just remembered, I put a £40 bet on Phil Taylor to win the darts @ 15/8 so still have that in running
      net return if he wins £115
       so profit was really £203.43  gl me.

    edit[ 5/1/15  poor old Phil Taylor had double troubles which robbed me of a nice return, but had a good run 4 me money.

    im new here, but have read this post for a while and am a little confused. pardon my naivity but a dym challenge is for poker right? as in the title? yet you were ready to include a £40 bet return on a darts match which ultimately did not win, so is the £40 stake for this bet  taken off your winnings?  in fact it actually says "so profit was really £203.43...please can you just confirm that you did take off the £40 stake

    keep up the good work

    Thanks Phantom,
    yeah, happy with 18 wins mate...better than 18 losses which I've probably come close to in the past,  ha ha.
    as to the TSP sng promo, don't think I'll bother as I was chatting to evilpingu y'day & he had played 900 games already, lol
    not sure of the promo detals but I'll settle for a nice easy month I think, & tbh I've picked up a bug, coughing, sore throat, etc, so not going to be playing as much as I originally hoped for.
    cheers mate, have a good month yourself,
    dev

    Thanks Mike,
    might/probably will try the £11's after this challenge is over & my b/r is over £1000 (the minimum I would give myself).
    happy playing the £5's for now though mate, which I am at last starting to get to grips with, as my profit shows.
    as to the 18 game winning streak... nice, but still needed a fair run of luck to achieve that, and may never happen again  lol
    but then again.... :)

    Hi Zac,
    thanks mate,
    yes this is a poker challenge where all games played are DYM's but I also play the odd freerolls too.
    I do have the odd darts or even golf bet from time to time, & all those bets are taken from my poker bankroll, so basically any losses or wins are added or taken off that b/r figure that you see at the top of the page.
    yes, I took the £40 from my poker account, so Decembers profit showed up as £163.43.
    but my real profit would have been £203.43 had I not made that bet,
    so everthing is as it should be & my running b/r of ££687.96 is correct.

    shame Taylor lost though as my b/r would now be reading as £802.96  :(

    still feeling rough so just another quickie. can't buy a £3 win atm but the £5's are still going well so that's the main thing I guess.
    got that £100 £5 game profit target in my sights now...famous last words, no doubt.

    made this call which gave me my last £5 game win.
    not sure if it is mathematically correct or not.
    this was my chance to knock player x out & cash. had I folded I would have been small stack.
    my gut feeling was to insta call so I did.
    I would have folded here 3-4 months ago before moving up to the £5 level, & shows how my game & thinking has changed/impoved hopefully.
    I wonder if you would have called here?

    Either shove or fold.

    But since you have played it you may have to find the fold after the all in. As usually they have hit there 7, have a over pair or hit a set. But in this case its even worse at they have hit a straight.

    By betting 100 you are showing weakness.
