In Response to Re: GARY L'S BR THREAD (No Rake % Messages Pls!) BR £47.69 (Deposit 8th Aug 14) : +1 Going a bit too far now Posted by jdsallstar
+2 to this. I'll be monitoring this thread very closely now, I take this kind of thing very seriously. Gary's my mate, we go way back on Sky. Hope you win 3/3 today bud!
Is this thread dead - what's the challenege update? Posted by Riptide
I know his last day on sky that I saw he lost a 1.15 then lost a 60p then won two 60p's. So that would count as a losing day. Dunno why he didn't update his fans?
I know you are having a bad time of it at the moment Gary, but I'm sure you can turn it around.
Don't think about your bankroll too much at the moment, easier said than done though, that will take care of itself over time.
try & do your best to win each game & be as aggressive as you can when you play a hand.
Watch what your opponents are doing, as this is all vital information for you & we can make our decisions on how best to play against them.
playing 1 or 2 tables this should be quite east to do. who limps in who raises, who slow plays hands, what hands are each player prepared to go all-in with & when in the game, ie; jj or qq on levels 1 & 2, etc, do they limp in with pocket pairs & bet like mad when they've hit their trips v your aa or kk, etc. do they play ace rag, ie; A3 etc v our AK or AQ & how do they play them, ie; bet when they hit 2 pair or check when they only hit their ace. these small pieces of information are always repeated so should easily be spotted. you have to make notes on every player at your table, every single game you play.
Hi All - Thanks very much for your well wishes.. I have updated my first post to log my current BR. Now sat at around £39..which YES I know it's dropped £11 since I started this challenge, although it has been said, whilst I am undertaking this process and in the early stages of ANY BR challenge, it can be expected to drop - so I'm not panicing yet!
Just been looking over my results In the month that I have undertaken this challenge since depositing, and have achieved a success rate of around 51%. This figure in itself isn't too bad, but I need to make it that LITTLE Bit higher in order to become a Successful/Break-even, which I would be doing so IF I can garner out another 11%.
Once I get this additional %'age sorted I feel that naturally my BR will move forward..
I am continually analysing and working on my game and feel that results will come in time..especially as it seems that I am currently "on the receiving end" of some pretty nasty outdraws..
Yeah, well I guess it certainly means I'm not doing too bad then - I know that you CAN build a BR through playing these games, as Devonfish has certainly demonstrated.
He has watched me on a number of occasions and I have recieved many a valueable tip from him.
Keep an eye on yr PM's.
IF you are around during the afternoon, and providing my internet works OK, I'm currently planning to return to the tables on Friday. I've had NET issues ALL week, so hopefully all should be fixed by then!

Well done on your 3 wins in row, see you can win at the 1.15 level which is much better than playing the 60p ones.
Good luck and hope to see you on the 3.30s soon.
Have pinged you across a PM.
