    As with the last one of these, put a charity up and I'll donate a few bob.

    Great effort chaps!  (could've crushed £3's Ben!!!)

    Thanks dohhh, This wasn't really planned in advance or anything so didn't worry about properly getting community involved and expecting people to donate or anything like that, of course is cool if you do that of your own backs towards whatever is your favoured charity but we wouldn't expect anything along them lines. It was just a spur of the moment decision and we like to have a laugh at ourselves so thought we would try and sort of document it. Anyone who has read, out of interest do you ever go to Aspers casino in stratford regularly, been their a few times recently as my brothers is in stratford and just wondered whether i may have faced any regs from sky on the virtual felt.

    Just to clarify to the multiple abusers who told me to stop playing with their "taxes" i work at a school and am currently on a 6 week break for the summer hols cue the degen behaviour, However thoich has just finished his degree and deserves any abuse he gets on the tables.Decided to have quick shower and felt alright so regged the main, hopefully will run deep without falling asleep.

    Hey guys

    Well done for completing your challenge, good going. I've enjoyed reading your blurb whilst unable to sleep, made me smile :D

    Just risen after 15 hour sleep feeling very refreshed!

    If I have learnt anything from this challenge it is the detrimental effect lack of sleep has on my ability to play poker. I was around £120 up at one point in the challenge and then didn't cash in the last 15 mtt's in the challenge to only finish up around £30 (over £1 per hour, YES!!)

    Highlight of this losing run was a spectacular blow up on the £2.20 deep stack bubble. I went from massive chip leader to bubble boy courtesy of some horrendous play, including calling a 30BB  3bet shove with A3o because the guy had 3bet shove me against be in the previous hand and I thought I needed to "take a stand." Was pretty demoralising having played for 3 hours to not cash, and then realise I still had 2 hours of the challenge to grind out! The only thing that kept me going was the constant groans coming from benc as his aces got cracked by hands like Q6o for the 50th time in the challenge.

    Thanks for the support through the challenge, glad you enjoyed the updates :)

    I've played at Aspers a few times although not recently.  In regards to those telling you to stop playing with their taxes, that's just LOL.  Do they also tell people to stop smoking with their taxes?  You should have told them you're playing with your profits ;)
