    Hi 

    Since last update i was sticking to the same games but it was very tough.For me personally i need more than a couple of tables to play without getting bored and this wasnt possible on sky with the buy ins i was playing.Also because of volume being so low there was a possibility of this challenge taking a very long time.
    For me this wasnt an option, so i decided to take the risk of adding £5 bounty hunters to the schedule.I did this with the roll being at around £80.Crazy br management you might think but after checking some stats of some players who win in £5 and under games, the max downswing on average seemed to be around £200-£250.It wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, and thats probably partly down to it being a bounty heavy schedule on sky, which reduces variance.

    Luckly the first day i added these games i cashed a load of them with a decent chunk of bounties and got back to around £100 br.Then since yesterday i won 1 £5 bh for around £120 and tonight won a 1r and 2£ deepstack.The starting roll has now been doubled.
    I think once i get to £300 the pressure will be off a bit, as the likelyhood of busting will be slim.Right now ive been having to take £1 deepstack final tables as serious as i would ukops main.

    Now i have found my ideal setup of games i will keep pumping out the volume and stick to the original plan i made as to when to add higher games.The only chance u will see me in anything higher than £5 is if ive sat into it.

    To answer your question about rebuys, ive been nearly always late regging to get in for 1 bullet and then adding on.I did play the ukops 5r tonight, didnt rebuy or addon as spending £10+ would of been too out of line, but thought playing the event like a freezeout was worth it for what was up top.

    Didnt realise been so long since last update but heres whats been happening..

    Weeks 2 and 3 were pretty average, was making very small steps of profit.Got deep in many but constantly ran into alot of coolers.I have been trying to work on folding more sets and flushes but its hard to get the balance right in these low stake fields.They are more willing to mix things up and its sometimes harder to get a read on them than you would when you play the regulars in the higher buy in games.

    Week 4 the roll was around £300 i think and managed to have a good week and get it to £700.To get it to this point i played everything from £1 to £5.Most success was had in £5 and £2r tournaments which was great being the high end of my buy ins.
    Latest win on sunday being the £5 deepstack.A nice tournament to play bar the min cashes not paying double your money at least.Strange as the £2 deepstacks do pay double your money.

    Sunday could of been epic as i also got deep in the £11 major which i decided to play after a good week.First paid just over £600 but lost biggish pot with kk vs a rag and then 88 <aq to bust in 12th.

    For now im delaying playing £11s apart from the odd shot take as id much prefer not to have a few hundred pound downswing, and wait till i get to £1k before they are part of my daily schedule.I have added the 7 for 7 to my schedule tho.

    Roll - £670

    Thanks

    Weeks 5 and 6 averaged £150 a week profit.At this point we got to 52% total roi which was good as i was aiming to get over 50% at these micro stakes.

    Week 7 was a setback as went on a downswing of around £140.Spent the rest of the week recovering this loss and managed to finish b/e ish with last friday making 4 final tables at the same time finishing with 1 1st, 2 2nds and 1 3rd.Always a nice feeling multi tabling final tables, but always more pressure when u need good results to climb out of a downswing.

    Today i started week 8 with a small session but lost £30 and cut it short early.I probably wont play many hours till friday onwards, aiming to try get into the mega sunday major maybe and over 1k roll so we can start playing £11 tournaments regularly.

    Roll - £960

    not heard much from you about your diary recently arrogant maybe you would like to explain to the forum how low you had to sink today to slowroll me with aces on the final table bubble of the 220@215 deepstack?

    Would the majority of players not wanna slowroll someone who max time banks over every decision for the duration of 2 hours + ?

    Its been one of the real down sides of playing these £2 deepstacks, getting drawn on the same table as you.The worst scenario is when someone limps bvb vs you and you max tank -sitout - auto check down to the river.

    They have been a lack of updates, but we are deep into week 12 and things have been going alot better since the downswing i had.

    If shipped the 2r a few times as angmar has mentioned in other thread, which is important because it was one of the biggest prizes i play for on my daily schedule.I had a period of getting 2nd/1st/1st in the 3 days in the row i played it.It is turbo so got extremly lucky for that to happen.
    After that my bankroll had been boosted quite a bit so this week i decided to play £11 tournaments.So far have been pretty unlucky in them but imo they are equal to the same level of ability of £5 bh, so i fancy my chances to start winning some of them soon.

    So right now my schedule is all games from 0 to £11.If i decide to play some sessions into the late night i think soon ill allow myself to play the £33 daily majors as a shot take.Shot taking is useful as gives me the chance to win a huge prize and doesnt increase my average buy in by too much so i cant lose too much if things dont go right.If there were several £33s a day then it would be different and id only allow myself to play the one with the biggest prizepool.

    Stats to date - 834 games / 50% total roi / £1800 bankroll
