    a slight profit on the day, waiting for the August promo before announcing the next challengers

    Only 1 day of 28p double or nothings, will miss the eliminator freerolls but not the 28p frenzy.

    Good progress so far coo1-um, have you considered playing the £1 rebuys? They play similarly, if not softer, than the £2.20 bh so have lots of value in it!

    Thanks for the support

    I hadn't really but when i looked its probably to do with the start time.

    Updated table, looks better thanks to the freerolls. will take stock before challenge 2 start on Monday. the idea was not to necessarily rush to the target but challenge myself along the way, going outside my comfort zone whilst taking in varying game types along the way.

    With Challenge #1 complete, and I guess you could say somewhat successfully as the balance has been increased. I move onto challenges 2, 3 and 4 which will be completed over my next 10 playing nights (3rd,4th,10th-13th,17th-20th)
    As before I will only be playing the games in the relevant challengers, with the exception of the rewards freeroll that i plan to play over the full 3 weeks. As part of the overall challenge I want to cover all aspects of game types. if i had a specialised game this would be less of a challenge.

    Challenge #2 Small Stakes MMT, this is by far my preferred selection and had added the £1.10 rebuy as suggested by @loosecamel i did consider adding some satellites but feel they should have there own challenge further down the line. The triple takedown hopefully will give opportunity to add tokens to my balance

    Challenge #3 Cash games have always been an issue as i never know when to leave the table, so will limit my time on these and look at different buy in options depending on how this is going overall.

    Challenge 4 I really did not want to play the £0.28 turbos but as part of the overall challenge and taking the current bankroll into account i need to, they help towards the 50 / 100 point weekly targets and hopefully this time these sessions will be less rushed.

    try the £2.20 b/h @ 18:05

    Crash down to earth with a bang, who would have thought that the 28p turbo's would be my top performance of the day second only to a free token.

    I need to work on folding top pair top kicker thats what I've learned from today, will press forward tomorrow.

    Hiya. I enjoyed chatting with you on the cash table and thanks for railing me in the BH. (pity my machine froze at just the wrong moment.)

    One thing I would say about playing cash - Know your opponent and their ranges. If a tight player suddenly starts dumping chips into the pot on a draw heavy board then 2 pair or AA is pretty much toast. Conversley charge players who like to draw a premium to make up for the times they hit their draw.

    Good luck going forwards.

    Still on a downward spiral, cash went better and found a fold when i would usually lose my stack in the last hand played, not sure if i should still have been in the hand on the river.
    50+ points means reward freerolls.

    Additional 6 tabling 46 game 28p combo, to get to next weeks £2.30 token.

    Not advisable for the faint hearted.

    Struggled last night to multi table so missed the added value of the takedown games, things have to get better tonight.

    ok so its quite obvious that relying on luck does not work, so now we start the skill element of the challenge.




    will play some cash and update.

    Quick hit and run


  • coo1-umcoo1-um Member Posts: 2,947
    looks like we could be bottoming out tomorrow.
    managed to fold in a few spots tonight, so thats a start.

    as it stands i'm in Four Three tournaments, no bounties and 24 pence in the account.

    (ps i'm not worried, just still trying to find the skill edge)

    just the £2.20 £500 BH 41 of 67
    and £2.20 £50 omaha hi lo BH games 26 of 26

    This may be renamed the 24p the £500 challenge
  • coo1-umcoo1-um Member Posts: 2,947
    last game of the night it's not looking good, currently putting together a schedule of points freeroll games, on a positive note at least i can't accidentally re-buy
