Good luck sir, sounds like a great cause and well done for you and all the parents who have set this up. Donated sir all the best on and off the tables
Hi @QUICKFEET sorry bud just can't get going at the moment. mixture of run bad and bad play i think. Still in profit but i don't want the pot to fall below the £26 mark, Came close a few times today to the final tables but without any real joy. Well let's see how Saturday goes mate.
12:30 -£3.30 17:30 -£2.20 won +£1.05 19:18 -£5.50 19:45 -£3.30 won +£8.37 20:40 -£2.20 won +£0.75 22:30 -£3.30
lost -£9.63

£2.20 played 2 won 0 -£4.40 £3.30 played 2 won 1 -£0.60
@QUICKFEET it will be great if the government double what we raise. Let's hope so.
I am not sure how that works, how you claim it etc, but will be brilliant if you can get that!
Because The Movement Centre signed up to the 2.6 Challenge, the people who organised that, who were going to organise the London Marathon, are going to liaise with the Government. Bit like The Big Night In on Thursday, the Government don't want to commit to anything in advance just in case an absurd amount is raised that the country can't afford to double but I am hopeful.
My total is at £500 this morning... would just be fantastic if that does get doubled!
No worries @safc71 - when I hit a bad run, I just keep trying to play my game and wait for my luck to run good. Tough not to tilt, I know Thank you for your efforts this week... hope you are enjoying hooking up with my challenge
Fifteen £3.30 DYMs today. I won 6 of the first 8 and got back to my starting BR of £26 but lost my way from then on and only won 2 more. Ended the night at £15.66 – another -ve day but at least still have some thing to play with on Sunday.
Played half an hour at lunchtime followed by 2 hours from 3 pm. After tea I was going to do the last 90 minutes from 7 pm there was an unexpected interruption after an hour. Did the last 30 minutes from 9:30 but things didn’t go my way.
The good news is my Just Giving page has reached a fabulous £557. To give an idea what this means for my charity, a month’s therapy for one of our children costs £500.
One more day to go, let’s hope I can make my £15.66 last!
Hi @QUICKFEET had a strange day finished 7th twice today just missing to cash. Got knocked out of the £5.50 game with trips on the flop for two days running. Just about ready to throw laptop out of the window when i managed to win the 19:45 to make profit for the day.

Apologies for repeating this picture as I have already posted it in the Quickfeet Cup thread but as it is the last day of my challenge, I thought it would be good to put up a reminder of what's it all about.
This is a montage from The Movement Centre's most recent awards day when all the children who have been treated in the prevoius 12 months are invited to a party where they go down a red carpet (often showing off their newly acquired walking skills) to collect their certificates. It was an amazing day!
My £26 Poker Challenge ended this evening with 2 hours of £3.30 DYMs before tea and 2 more after it, completing my challenge of 4 hours of poker every day for 8 days.
Rather ironically, the £26 I began with last Sunday ran out on the very last game tonight. Well, I have £2.16 left in my account so not enough for another £3.30 DYM but not completely bust – just enough to enter the Quickfeet Cup! So much that has happened surrounding this, including being contacted by @Phantom66 at just the right moment, makes me believe in fate.
Today, I took part in 15 DYM tournaments and began well with 4 wins out of the first 5 but the rest of the time was a nightmare – I only won 2 of the remaining 10 games.
Far more importantly than the poker, I currently have £613 in my Just Giving account with more pledged/possible depending on how well people play this evening. I will also top it up with at least £52 and maybe more if it means getting the total to hit a nice round figure.
Either way, I truly can’t believe the amount raised so far. I would have been delighted to have got close to £60 never mind surpass £600! …and hopefully the government will double it.
I can’t thank the members of the SkyPoker Community enough… You are all fantastic, generous people!
I have been away from poker for a while but I am back for good now! Four hours a day has been a lot (but well worth it for my charity) and I am just too busy for that amount of volume ordinarily, but I will dabble, hopefully for a few hours each week.
I shall also remain active on the forum – I probably don’t have enough material for a blog as the nature of being a football club director and charity trustee means so much that occupies my mind nowadays is confidential… and often quite intense – playing poker this week has been a nice diversion. Nonetheless, I will keep everyone up to date with news from The Movement Centre.
I am not sure how to end this – I am lost for words! It has been an unbelievable week.
Huge thanks to everyone who has got involved with a very special mention to @StayOrGo and @safc71... and also to @NOSTRI for sorting out my website problems!
Unlucky today, however it has given me so much satisfaction to assist you and I am so glad too that @Phantom66 contacted you and that you are back playing again.
I am still hoping to get more runners for the QUICKFEET CUP.
I intend to try and get other non participates to donate while the comp is going. I am also going to donate £5 for every game I lose, so if I go out the first round that would be £10 but if I progress then it will increase as the rounds go on.
Plus others may wish to do something similar as the rounds progress.
I seriously think we can reach £1,000.00 which if it were to get doubled, that'd be great!
I will do all I possibly can to get us to four figures, and knowing the great people in this community, I am sure we will achieve it.
It has been a privilege and an honour to make your acquaintance. It gives me much joy assisting you raise funds for such a brilliant charity!

An empty gesture , as already mentioned as I don't expect to win anything.
I'm going to play a few DYM tonight. Will donate any profit, or £26 whichever is the greater. Keep up the good work,
Ed.
