Just wondering why you doing the cash challenge on another site.
Several reasons really.
Firstly, a lack of downloadable hand histories on Sky makes it's harder to keep accurate track of results. I would't just be able to use my account balance as a gauge as I would also want to be able to play in other stakes/games outside of the scope of a bankroll challenge over that period.
Secondly, it's the site I used to play most on before moving to Sky a few years ago. I used to be a winner there but times change and games get tougher, so there's a sense of curiosity and the challenge of the unknown. I'd be 99.99% certain I could do this on Sky which makes it a little less interesting to me as a proposition.
Thirdly, I find Sky extra tough as a site to stream which, is principally due to the lack of timebanks. I wanted the option to fire up an occasional low-key stream that is more relaxing to me and less mentally draining over all.
Finally, I thought might be good to try and reach an audience that isn't almost exclusively Sky players. I actually think this might potentially benefit Sky as any new followers I pick up from the challenge will then be more likely to be exposed to Sky poker games - in terms of total hours streamed, I fully expect Sky to still account for the lions share of my (admittedly casual) streaming efforts.
You’re starting a BR challenge when you can’t beat 2NL????
I've put in over 2,000 hours of intensive study work on Piosolver leading up to this challenge in the hope that I might finally be able to scale the mountain that is 2nl.
As you well know, times change and games get tougher. Do you get all misty-eyed looking back at the days when you used to win tournaments?

I still feel like a bit of a berk most of the time when doing this so any support is always hugely appreciated
Thanks also to everyone else who tuned in and I'll be back on tomorrow at 6:30pm. One little amendment from my earlier post is that my HU match with @Allan23 will now be kicking off a touch earlier at 6:40.
Just seen the QQ fold from last night early in the main, top stuff
Hey Dues..having just had my all in call of QQ crushed by original shove of k6suited...K on the turn in the vegas semi last night....You need to teach me how to fold QQ: my bogey hand forever but I just can't seem to put them down!!
I'm just glad someone else called after I folded those queens so I got to look like a true poker genius. Without that I'd have expected half my viewers to instantly unfollow and never tune in again to the tragic old nit I would have appeared to be

Any chance you can delay the start until 6.42? It sometimes takes me 2 minutes to get the laptop wound up and running properly and I would hate to miss the first heads up game like I did when you massacred @Essexphil.
Don't worry @Enut, it's a best of 5 match tonight so you should have the better part of a 10 minute window to catch some of the action before @Allan23 has been sent packing
Cool stream dues good for the site I imagine as well, enjoyed having a quick punt at the 10nl has been a while, I imagine if you added a forum cash game stream every so often and advertised on here with a bit of notice would get decent amount of new followers/participation. Gl at the tables

I'll be on after 8.30. Hope you haven't crashed out of everything by then.
On that note, live in 5...
